Screen Shots

Q*bert is actually pretty good, in my book. Best of the Parker Brothers lot, I think (though Tutankham and Super Cobra seem good, too). It seems to be a mostly faithful port of the arcade game, although with a smaller pyramid than the arcade version. Sound is good, and graphics look nice. Best Score: 18140 (L:2; R:3)
