Description: Q*bert /ˈkjuːbərt/ is an arcade game developed and published for the North American market by Gottlieb in 1982. It is a 2D action game with puzzle elements that uses isometric graphics to create a pseudo-3D effect.

Players use a joystick to control the character and when Q*bert collides with an enemy or harmful object in his path, he 'swears' by displaying a comic-style speech bubble and utters an incoherent phrase made of synthesized speech generated by the game's soundchip.
