Being part of Hasbro's "Arcade Revival" series along with Frogger, Centipede, and Pac-Man just to name a few, you are thrown into the oddly cubic world of Q*Bert. The game follows Q*Bert's mundane existence until Coily, that snake you fooled to his death from the original arcade game, decides to wreak havoc by destroying Q*Bert's world and snatching Q*Dina, Q*Bert's love interest. Now, Q*Bert must lethargically hop from one cube to another, encountering minimal obstacles and familiar foes, to bring back the peace and save Q*Dina.
