Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 This is like the Rubik's Cube of NES games. I could try it a million times and not get any better. Back in 2013, I barely hit 10k and I think I seriously tried that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Q-Bert but quickly realized I've never played NES Q-Bert before. I think I've got the controls set up in a way that works now, at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkovsky | 21 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Good gravy, I'm out of practice; I think dying once on the first level was a good reminder of that. Then again, it's been nearly eight years since I wrote the guide, so... yeah. Anyway, this is where I stood on life 0 of my first continue on my lone attempt; I managed to make it to 5-1 before getting utterly destroyed. According to my old notes, though, I used my first continue on 8-2 (and another on 8-3) on my winning run back in 2012, so I'm sure someone could handily trounce this score. Incidentally, it's been awhile since I've done one of these contests, so I'm trying to remember—is a person only allowed to submit one score from their first run, or can one submit a better score later on? At the risk of shameless self-promotion, I'd recommend looking at my guide on GameFAQs if you're wanting to up your Q*Bert game. My big revelation for finally beating the darn thing several years back was figuring out that the enemy spawn patterns are fixed for each level (with the exception of Coily spawns being skipped if he's already on the board), and I've transcribed all of those out for anyone who wants them. Anyway, good luck to all, and I'm interested to see how people do on this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
