I don't know about the Nintendo controller, but I have Q-Bert for the
Commodore system and use an Epyx joystick. I find it helps to turn the
joystick at an angle to match the action on the screen, so you push
up-and-right or right-and-down instead of just up or right.

| Yes, the members of my house have noticed the same thing. I
found that if you turn the controller the same way according to
the screen when it shows you the function for each button, you'll
have a better chance of using the supplied controller. Other than
that you might want to buy a joy stick type of controller, thats
what i'm planning to do since i'm fed up playing this way too.

| The NES Advantage works great with this game. Especially if
you`ve played it in the archade before. How ffar can you get without
continuing?

| I just rented Q-bert and I am really disappointed that the sound
effects are not anywhere NEAR what they were for the arcade game. It
takes alot away from the overall mood of the game. In the arcade game
Q-bert would scream when he fell of the edge, and you could almost tell
what he was saying when he swore after getting clobbered. The Nintendo
version is quite inferior in the sound effects portion of this game..

| I haven't played the arcade version in a LONG time, but I have the
Atari version... I just got the Nintendo version and noticed a major
differerence.... in the Atari version, if the little guy falls off or
gets clobbered, the next screen still has all the squares changed to
the color you changed them to, so you can pick up where you left off
(although you do start back at the top again).
But, with the Nintendo version, when the little guy gets clobbered,
all the squares you changed are back to their original color and you
have to start hopping all over again.... my 6 yr old likes the Atari
version better since he has a better chance of completing at least one
screen... is this the way the Nintendo one is supposed to work, or is
there some setup you can do to change it ?
Thanks

| The Nontendo Q-Bert version allows the player to 'continue' the game
up to three times...are there are hidden means of getting the system
to allow the player to pick up where he left off AFTER the three tries?
Anyone with mystical Q-Bert knowledge will be greatly appreciated.
All spoilers welcome!

| 313.7 | a little help | BUSY::SECURITY | Pat Burns, time to make the donuts!! | Wed Apr 04 1990 10:52 | 11 |
| I'm not an expert but,I'll try to answer some these question.If
I'm wrong I'm sorry it's just what I found out on my own.
In the beginning,You see a kid with a sign that says is this
ok(meaning does this direction match the control.)A-yes B-no.If
everything is right,It will say Let's go.For the question about
the squares,I've noticed that if play two players and get killed,You
start all over again.But,If you play alone and get killed,You start
where you died(except when you fall off.You start at the top again
but no color change.)
Hope it helps,
Paul
