Check out a 1982’s Q*bert in Classic or Rebooted modes.
A piece of video game history is going to be easier to revisit when
Q*bert, the classic arcade game, will release on Steam July 8.
The PC version of the game will include Q*bert Classic and Q*bert Rebooted. Q*bert Classic will look like the original, pixelated game, only optimized for mouse and gamepad controls, while Q*bert Rebooted will use 3D graphics and feature new levels, enemies, and playable characters.
First published in 1982 by Gottlieb, an arcade game and pinball company,
Q*bert is an isometric puzzle platformer in which you’re asked to
change every cube in a pyramid to the same color by jumping on them with
the titular character.
“With renewed interest in Q*bert, in part due to the cameo in the recent
Wreck It Ralph animated feature film, we are delighted to re-introduce
the game and characters to current fans as well as a new generation of
gamers who are experiencing Q*bert for the first time,” Vice President,
Consumer Products, Worldwide Marketing & Distribution at Sony
Pictures Entertainment Mark Caplan said in a statement.
The game is being co-developed by Gonzo Games and Sideline Amusements, a
subsidiary of social and mobile game developer Galaxy Pest Control, in
collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, which owns the rights
for Q*bert.
Q*bert will cost $5 on PC, with tablet and mobile versions to follow.
