Q*bert - The original game
Q*bert was programmed by Gottlieb in 1982. The arcade game inspired a plethora of ports to many home computers in the early 80s, including several clones for the Amstrad CPC. Despite this, there has never been a version for the Amstrad Plus machines that take advantage of their advanced capabilities. I hope to be able to release a faithful rendition of the game for the Amstrad Plus platform.
Proposed features
* Graphically as close as possible to the arcade version as the Amstrad allows * Multicoloured hardware sprites * All the original game mechanics, levels and sprites to be recreated * Hopefully Q*bert's speech to be recreated by synthesis software * Redefinable keys * Joystick enabled menu and scoreboard controls for GX4000 * Cartridge version, floppy disc and cassette version
