Albert Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Since Q*bert is such a fowl mouthed creature, how about naming it "Holy $h!t!" Amusing name, but I don't think I'd want to actively promote that here on AtariAge and at shows we attend. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockman_x_2002 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Personally I'm still partial to "@!#?@!" Everybody knows it's a Q*Bert clone, yes. And part of the charm is there's no possible way to say it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 @!#?@!, I suppose it's a nice title for game but how the heck are we going to say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 @!#?@!, I suppose it's a nice title for game but how the heck are we going to say that? "Bleep Bleep Bleepity Bleep" I like this name, too. If it has to change, why not make it amusing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Wasn't that the original name for the arcade game, but they changed it to q bert so you could say the name...I think I read that somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 http://members.aol.com/JPMLee/qbert.htm Answered my own question. It was the original name for the game. sorry for the exra post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 @!#?@!, I suppose it's a nice title for game but how the heck are we going to say that? I can think of a few different ways, actually. However, as we are often reminded, this is a family site and... teehee. kbye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 To paraphrase a line from an old SNL commercial: "The game title so disgusting we can't say it on TV! Ask for it by name!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-in-NJ Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 You know, I'm surprised that nobody has thought of Cube*bert How about an option to allow the joystick to be held regularly or at an angle? I regularly play 5200 Q*bert, which doesn't have the joystick rotating-thingy like the 2600 version, with a 7800 stick and never miss a jump.

Bakasama Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The popular choices seem to be "@!#?@!" or "holy shit". I suppose "holy shit" might make a great easter egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I vote for the name that cannot be pronounced! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do X and the title changes to @!#?@! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feralstorm Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'd vote for the unpronouncable name as well, though if asked in person, I would pronounce it roughly like "Kyuburt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
