Q*bert is an
arcade video game developed and published by
Gottlieb in 1982. It is a 2D action game with puzzle elements that uses "
isometric" graphics to create a
pseudo-3D effect, and serves as a precursor to the
isometric platformer genre. The objective is to change the color of every cube in a pyramid by making the on-screen character hop on top of the cube while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Players use a
joystick to control the character.
