Game Overview

Q*bert on MS-DOS is that weird little arcade classic where you hop around a pyramid, changing the color of each tile you land on. The controls take a second to get used to—diagonal jumps feel awkward at first, but you’ll be bouncing around like a pro after a few tries. That orange guy with the tube nose? Yeah, he "talks" in gibberish symbols, which is somehow charming.

Things start simple, but then Coily the snake shows up, and suddenly you’re sweating. Those floating discs on the side are your only escape when he’s chasing you—jump on one, and it flings you to safety (or sometimes straight into another enemy). The gremlins Slick and Sam undo your color changes, and those purple weirdos Ugg and Wrong-Way move in the worst possible directions. Oh, and watch out for the falling balls. They don’t mess around.

It’s one of those games where you’ll fail a bunch, but each run feels just a tiny bit better than the last. The MS-DOS version keeps all the weirdness of the original, right down to the janky-but-lovable animations.


Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
