What the fuck is Q*Bert even trying to do? Like, what is he accomplishing by changing the colors of the blocks? And why is the snake so determined to stop him from doing so?

'96fag who's old enough to post reporting in.
Is Q*Bert fun? I knew about it in Wreck-It Ralph.

Triangle is a gay symbol.
The snake represents Q*Bert's penis.
Changing the blocks to yellow represents trying to save enough money for the operation before he commits suicide.

>On July 1, 1984, Doris Self made video game history when, at the age of 58, she gained recognition as the "world's oldest video game champion." As a competitor on Q*Bert at Twin Galaxies 1984 Video Game Masters Tournament, Doris scored a world record mark of 1,112,300 points on Twin Galaxies' Tournament Settings (TGTS) -- the most difficult settings that allow for only five-men in the game.[4][5][6]

>In 2005, Doris traveled to London to continue her quest to regain the Q*Bert World Record. She was one of the featured stars at the Classic Gaming Expo-UK, held Saturday, August 13, 2005 in Croydon, United Kingdom.[7] As an honorary member of the U.S. National Video Game Team, she was part of a contingent of video gamers who traveled to Paris, France on Napoleon's birthday (August 15, 2005) to hand-deliver an 8-foot (2.4 m) tall proclamation signed by hundreds of British players that challenged Paris to a London vs. Paris video game championship.[8][9]

>During the weekend of April 6–9, 2006, Doris Self faced-off against Kelly Tharp, of Sellersburg, Indiana, in a highly publicized Q*Bert contest, held at Apollo Amusements in Pompano Beach, Florida. Titled the "The King vs The Queen Q*Bert Smackdown," the event was filmed as part of the King of Kong documentary.[10]

>In the 2007 Guinness World Records Book, Doris was recognized as the world's oldest video game competitor. In The King of Kong, Doris' quest to recover her standing as the "oldest champion" was documented, as she tried to regain the title back from John Lawton, the 72-year-old co-founder of the Funspot Family Fun Center in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, who had captured the world title on Depth Charge.[11][12]

>Doris had still been practicing and preparing for her next world record attempt on Q*Bert when she died from injuries suffered in an automobile accident in Plantation, Florida on October 3, 2006.

Just because she's old doesn't mean she wasn't a horrible, abusive person.

Perhaps he's in a simulated reality and that he's forced to jump on blocks for all eternity while avoid random bullshit like snakes and anthropomorphic balls of multicolored pubic hair.

Did you play the playstation remake? Coily uses dimensional magic to rip Q-berts dimension apart and steal his girlfriend.

The only way to traverse the dimensions is to make all the cubes the same color.

By modern standards, it's like the simplest of mobile/browser puzzle games. OK to pass the time, but not really anything involving.

Why did Pac-Man need to eat all those pellets? The fruit and shit wasn't necessary, but he needed to consume each and every pellet. And they the fuck are there ghosts!?
