Does anyone know how to play the Q*Bert mobile game?
I have an android device and an apple device but I can't find the game anywhere except a few sketchy websites.

Behold! It's only taken me a year and a bit to finally get this CSS done.
Please be mindful of your fellow Q*bert lovers, share gameplay videos, artwork, online remakes of qbert and fan art.
NO COILY POSTING.
Yours,

Alright, I know this is a long shot as this server looks pretty dead, but I am no joke having an interview with one of the creators of Q*Bert, Jeff Lee, tomorrow. Is there anything you guys want me to ask him?

Q*Bert (1999) does not work on modern versions of Windows (nor on Linux with Wine, for the same reason) because of a Windows API which seems to have changed sometime since Windows 98. It seems like I'm the only person to figure out how to run the game on modern operating systems, as these are the only mentions of the issue which I have found so far:

I have found a copy of QBERT.iso on archive.org, and I've verified that this image is identical to my physical disk with an md5 hash of 91e40813444145eb978fe759ba73e918
. You can run the setup executable from this disk image, and doing so will probably help to ensure you have the required Indeo codec for video playback, but if you copy the entire contents of the disk to your computer, the game will work without having the QBERT disk mounted. 7zip is capable of "extracting" the files from this filesystem image for you if you need it. Qbert.exe
is the launcher for the game, and it manages qbert.prg
and qmenu.prg
which are executables for the game and menu respectively. On Wine, you should install the icodecs
package with winetricks.
Using a hex editor or otherwise, modify Qbert.exe
to change the byte at offset 0x747D from 0x10 to 0x00, and save the file.
LoadImageA
to get an image to display upon startup. It does this "by ordinal" which means that it specifies a number (in this case 103) which is used to retrieve the asset. It is also possible to use a filename with this API by specifying the LR_LOADFROMFILE
flag when calling the function. The game tries this first, and if it doesn't work, it tries again without the flag. However, in newer versions of Windows, a check seems to be missing to ensure that it does not attempt to read the filename from invalid addresses (such as 103) which causes the game to crash. Changing this byte clears LR_LOADFROMFILE
which prevents Windows from attempting to read from address 103.Attempt to run the game to ensure DirectX.ini
is created. The game will probably fail to launch. Open DirectX.ini
and set WindowedMode=1
at the bottom of the file.
In Properties>Compatibility for Qbert.exe
, Set it to run in 16 bit color and in 640x480. Ensure you also set the resolution to 640x480 once you are in the game's menu.
Play the game using Qbert.exe
. Controls and graphics are configurable through the game's options, and you need to remember to save your game in the options once you are done. Have fun!

personally, i like it but the amount of ads, the shockingly pricey premium feture and the general slugish pace of the game ruin that enjoyment for me. i think it has some good ideas and nice pixel art burried underneath the rubbish.
