****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I was never a huge fan of Q*Bert.  I liked the 
original arcade game, but that was it.   

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: This version of Q*Bert plays exactly like the arcade 
version did.  In case you never played the arcade version, the object of 
Q*Bert is to jump on all of the squares while avoiding the enemies.  When 
you jump on a square the color of the square changes.  You also can't really
attack the enemies.  This version is just as fun to play. 
Liked: Arcade perfect gameplay.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The NES version's graphics aren't quite as good as the 
original's but that's to be expected.  The graphics are fine and do the job.
Liked: Decent graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Q*Bert has some cool music.  There's not a whole lot
of it, though.  The sound fx are good and are exactly like the arcade 
version. 
Liked: Arcade perfect sounds.
Hated: None.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: The controls of Q*Bert are fine if you change them 
from the defualts.  Otherwise, they're extremely confusing.  The game design
is great, as this game is just as much fun to play as the arcade classic.
Liked: Great game design.
Hated: Having to fix the controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Don't bother...This game is great.

RIYL: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man. 

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Q*Bert is an arcade classic and this NES version is just as 
good.  If you don't already have a version of Q*Bert, then you should pick
one up.
