For people unfamiliar with how Q*Bert plays out, basically you have to hop around a pyramid shaped play area with the goal of changing each space to a specific color. Sometimes this requires you to definitely hop onto each spot once. Sometimes you have to visit each spot many times to get at the required color. You have to do this while avoiding enemies that are bent on killing you. All of the famous enemies are here: Coily, Ugg, Slick, Sam, Wrong Way and Red Ball.

This rebooted release comes with two versions of the game. You’re going to get the Classic version that has been around for a long time along with the rebooted version which features 3D graphics and some other highlights that have been added:
