QBert is a puzzle action game developed by Gottlieb and published by Coleco for the ColecoVision console in 1983. It is a home adaptation of the popular 1982 arcade game, featuring the titular character QBert as he hops around a pyramid of cubes. The primary goal is to change the color of each cube by landing on it while avoiding enemies and obstacles.
Gameplay centers on navigating the isometric pyramid by jumping diagonally between cubes. Players must complete color changes while dodging enemies such as Coily the snake and other creatures that patrol the pyramid. Additional hazards include falling off the pyramid and projectiles. Power-ups occasionally appear, aiding the player in clearing enemies or gaining extra points.
