Description
This is a game
where the player controls Q*bert, a character who jumps around on
a pyramid of cubes while changing their
color. Q*bert's movements are isometric, and he passes a level
each time all the cubes are changed to the same color.
The main difference in the Mello Yello version is that there are
intermissions between levels showing Q*bert drinking a can
of Mello Yello. The title screen also shows the Mello Yello logo
on it. A very limited amount of cabinets of the Mello Yello
version were made. According to the Mello Yello version of Q*bert page, Coca Cola owned Gottlieb & made this
to
promote Mello Yello, which was recently introduced at the time.
