Q*bert is an arcade-style puzzle-platform game for the Atari 5200, developed and published by Gottlieb in 1982. Players navigate Q*bert, a quirky, snouted character, across a pyramid of multicolored cubes. The goal is to hop onto each cube to change its color while avoiding various enemies like Coily the snake and avoiding fatal falls. Successful completion of the color-changing patterns advances the player to the next, more challenging level. The game's isometric design, bright graphics, and unique gameplay mechanics contributed to its standing as a classic in the puzzle-platform genre.
