Q*bert

The Story

Q*bert hops down an isometric pyramid changing the color of each cube while avoiding enemies. The designer Warren Davis almost quit before finishing it — the gameplay felt too random, too frustrating. He stayed. Q*bert had his own Saturday morning cartoon, his own line of plush toys, and his own dedicated speech synthesizer chip in the cabinet that produced his distinctive on-screen swearing when he fell off the pyramid.
