Q*bert is actually pretty good, in my book.
Best of the Parker Brothers lot, I think (though Tutankham and Super Cobra seem good,
too). It seems to be a mostly faithful port of the arcade game, although with a
smaller pyramid than the arcade version. Sound is good, and graphics
look nice. Best Score:
