SE3K Survivors Experience 3000

Q*bert

Gottlieb, Tsukuda Original

Gottlieb's 1982 arcade oddity, distributed in Japan by Tsukuda Original. Q*bert hops diagonally around a pyramid of cubes, changing the colour of each one he lands on, while a snake and assorted balls come down after him. The controls are turned forty-five degrees from the screen, which is either the joke or the difficulty depending on how long you have played.
