Pinball One Player Event Yeah I can tell you don't like this game. I remember Roger saying you hate it, lol. I think it's okay, but it can be infuriating NO DOUBT!!!!! ?

Breaking 20k for me was a miracle game. I absolutely HATE it. Easily in my bottom 5 in all the Inty Catalog...... Never had it or played it as a kid and it shows..... ?

IntellivisionMaster Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Exactly! The only way to get better at Q is to keep trying despite the frustration! (Which is tough)!! I’m lucky that I’m a Q-Bert guy in general … arcade and On the Apple 2! So I had that background strat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm not good at the game,but I find the best way to hold the controller for this game is sideways,with the disc on the left. Then instead of the side buttons, you can use the clear and #3 buttons for the flippers. I hope this helps someone!👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Ah, it's been 2 years since we've played this one, and I'm remembering that I don't care for it much, haha. Video pinball is hit or miss with me, as I much prefer the real thing. Of course, emulating is a different experience as well. Here's something to get me on the board.

Maybe I should record a Q-Bert play through? It kinda gets easier as the levels go up, because you get more discs and each one is 500 points for dupping Coily to jump off the pyramid. I typically got 22-28K, then I broke the 30K barrier. My very next game was 64K. Then I ran out of time.

gar0u Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I can't get anything going on this game. I remember playing for HSC a few years back. Definitely need to reread the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
