Q*bert arcade game review - Qbert Gottlieb 1982

[MagikGimp]

I love emulation but you just can't beat this. Arcade machines when they were each truly their own unique machine. Joystick on a slant and that knocker; awesome!

You have a great basement there and your hard work really shows, love it.

[JamesFlanaganMusic]

Jon, you're the boss--that arcade of yours rules!

[pbloo574]

Now are you going to get Qberts Qubes?

[Vondur]

A classic arcade just opened in my area and I'm determined to get the high score on this game.

[Paulywint]

I first played this game when it was brand new, and I became good at it.

[burpgoeztheweazel]

John, do you know if there is a Pac-Man high score save kit like Donkey Kong's?

[GameGirl36]

Yep, first game that has a character that cusses out if you get hit.

[ToastedOmond]

i thought qbert was short for (cube expert)

[Corey6496]

Your review videos are completely awesome, blkdog7! When you said something about selling some, can you get me Mad Planets, and Gyruss one day?

[ryantroj]

I love watching your videos, and love your arcade. I also must commend you on how well/fluidly you can talk on the spot without a script. You don't talk in circles or loose peoples interest. Well done!

[nintendoneil]

don't sell your games...get a bigger house!

[SuperJustinChannel]

You should try Faster Harder More Challenging Q*Bert on MAME. In that game the harder rules of changing the blocks are applied much earlier in the game, and there's a bunch of new stuff, like Slick and Sam being able to "lock" or even "dual-lock" the blocks until a Coily or a new enemy called Q*Bertha steps on it. There's also a cool bonus round after Levels 2 and 5.

What! Where did radar scope go? Please don't tell me you sold it! The most rare game by Nintendo that never made it in America

[ubertroopa]

If you ever wanna sell/donate your arcades be sure to let me know. ; )

[Casper1563]

By the way, do you make the full review video of Zoo Keeper you have at the beginning of the video

[blkdog7]

@Casper1563 Zoo Keeper video will be coming and soon!

[Casper1563]

Q*Bert is awesome! I just play it on MAME and I have the Q8bert game scene on Mega Man X Shopping Adventure Season 2 Episode 1 Part 2. Check it out on my Casper1563 channel

Nice to see you're rocking the "profanity" banner John. Q*Bert has been my favorite ever since I was a little kid and I still have my stuffed Q*Bert and used to have the little plastic toys, but a house fire melted them all, I'll go check eBay for em'.

I'd love to play more of it, but I get to the third stage and I can't advance further. Plus knowing to get the highest scores is marathoning the game for 50+ hours.

No thanks.

[DJCandyManMike]

That is totally badass that at 2:59 there is a high score with the initials BMW! Those are the same initials I use in video games, though my first name does not start with B. This is a great game, and you have a sweet cabinet!

[BlueYoshiGamer]

Haha for the longest time I thought Q-Berts speech bubble full of gibberish were curse words censored

[mllarson]

My first video game experience ever was Q*Bert on a 2600 Junior on a black & white television. No joke. THAT was difficult, especially when you're like five years old :-P

[Sjorsbikes]

Does your electricty bill suck?

[henryblazer20]

awesome cab

[dexx2233]

Nice! Another great classic :-)

[SquallOrnitier]

It's been a long time since your last video. It's sad because you're one of the best youtubers out here.

[blkdog7]

@SquallOrnitier Not sure what you mean! I have posted three videos in the past three weeks!

[tryton1000]

I absolutely love watching your arcade videos! You know what would be cool? The next time you have a party and your arcade is rocking, Post it! Nothing like seeing people having fun and a full arcade to boot!

[jGazMom]

I used to love Q*bert.  Awesome review.

[pbloo574]

You forgot to mention that another running title for the game was Snots and Boogers, so named because Q*bert was originally going to shoot stuff out of his nose.

[tunicaroja86]

great John! :)

[slayer544]

I played the hell outta Q*bert on Coleco ;)

[uhfnutbar1]

cool :)



[Corad4]

Aaaah.. Q*Bert, good times. The cabinet you have look great and great video showing what the game is really like. I've seen one for sale only twice since I moved to the U.S. One was 500$ and the other one was over 1000$.

[jumblejunkie]

i suck so bad at Qbert!

[LumberjackZE]

i love your videos, you look like a 6 yo in a toys'r us xD

[NadrianATRS]

I used to have the board game of Q*Bert

[jupreindeer]

Space. The final limitation.

Seems like there should be some way to have a Neo-Geo approach to this problem. Like some kind of switcher that makes multiple game boards fit into one console so that, say, all those Nintendo arcades could fit into one cabinet.
