  2. Mega Q*Bert
    I had thought about doing this as part of a Romhack Thursday, but I didn't get it together in time for yesterday. And anyway, it's not a hack of another game, but a homebrew title for the Genesis/Mega Drive. And it's quite good!

    While it has a recreation of the original Q*bert, the main attraction to Mega Q*bert is Mega Mode, which adds a lot of new elements

  3. The @!#?@! of Q*Bert
    Fourth of five retro arcade strategy posts this week, how about we learn how to play the swearingist classic game: Q*bert.

    Here's a video that covers what each of Q*bert's five levels is like (18 minutes):

    You play Q*bert, and at first it seems simple. Level 1, you jump on each cube once. Slick and/0r Sam may change th

  6. I miss the original #Qbert game. Me & my brothers loved playing it together. I was really good at Qbert.

    What were some of your fave video games from the #1980s ?

    I loved #SegaGenesis & classic #Nintendo consoles. I had #ColecoVision, #Atari & old #RadioShack #Tandy computer games too.

  9. Remember the old #Saturday Supercade cartoon from the early 80s? It was a collection of animated segments that were very, very loosely based on popular video games of the time.

    They had #Qbert as a high schooler in a letterman jacket? #Frogger was a journalist in the swamp. #DonkeyKong was a circus escapee, with an early appearance of #Mario. In the same universe, Donkey Kong Jr. enlists the help of a motorcycle gang to find his dad. Space Ace, Kangaroo, and Pitfall also had segments.

    I love it! I had the same system, #800XL with the disk drive. I found out somehow about using a hole punch to be able to use both sides of the diskettes, too.

    I had #QBert and #Choplifter cartridges. Loved to play them.

  11. @beatstreet It just illustrates how important and influential these dudes are within the DJ culture. Mad that so many styles and techniques came from one crew! #turntablism #Qbert #SkratchPiklz #MixMasterMike

  13. The two #votrax boards Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) built for our talk on #SpeechSynthesis in early #games tomorrow at the #ludomusicology conference.

    The right one is the voice of #QBert.

  14. Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) and I managed to get in contact with Warren Davis, the desinger of the #QBert #arcade #game to ask him some questions about the code, the sound data, and the random voice generation. We will present that in our talk at the #ludomusicology conference in the end of march.
