Q*Bert Atari 2600 30 Days Of Reviews Day 23

A decent port of the arcade game, Q*Bert for Atari 2600 meets the requirements of the arcade game.  Visually its close enough.  The pyramid is there, the enemies react the same way, it seems perfect right?  WRONG.  This is the only version of Q*Bert for a console that I know that REQUIRES diagonal presses of the keyboard.  All other versions including the NES version will allow you to press diagonal, or up down left right with a slightly tilted controller.  Because of the requirements to be perfectly diagonal on the 2600 version you’ll frequently find yourself not hopping at all.  If you can get passed this one little thing then I’d highly recommend it, but since I can’t I’d say pass, unless you can get it for $2

Crystal Castles for Atari 2600.  Arcade port.  Controls are choppy.  Imagine Q*Bert meets Pac-man.  Decent.  Dont spend more than three bucks.

My ColecoVision Wants and Needs List

Hey there, I’m currently working on a very involved video about the ColecoVision – specifically my experiences with the system.  So far it’s coming along really well but there are few games I need to complete the story.  They include:

  • Front Line
  • Lady Bug
  • 2010
  • Q*Bert
  • Tarzan

There are other ones I need, but these will complete the major part of the story.  I also need the ColecoVision Expansion Module 1 (the Atari 2600 adaptor), and a registration card that originally came with the system.

If you stumble on any of these items for cheap please let me know!
