Q*bert Arcade (2600) - old 2011 release

Recommended Posts

Not sure how many of us have ever seen or played this, so I figured I'd post it. This hack was completed back in 2011 and is very, very good. Much improved over the original release from Parker Bros. to be more like the arcade version.

 

From "RevEng":

Here's my update on 2600 Q*bert. Changes from stock Q*bert rom include:

  • replaced the lives remaining graphic with a mini Q*bert
  • colored the lives same as the player
  • added a title screen. In attract mode the display alternates between the title screen and the pyramid.
  • added AtariVox support. Q*bert falling and Q*bert getting hit now have voice effects.
  • updated the font
  • converted to F8 bankswitching.
