Q*bert is an arcade game that was released in 1982. The objective of the game is to change the color of every cube in a pyramid by making Q*bert, which is the character, hop on top of the cube while avoiding the bad guys or bad characters. There were a few sequels, but none were as successful as the original. I actually thought the game was fun, and can remember playing it as a kid. I was not as good at it as I was as a kid! It seemed more difficult to play on the computer than it is to play with a joystick.
Astro Blaster is a shooting arcade game hat was released in 1981. In this game, the player controls the ship and moves from left to right and shoots at the other ships hat are attacking it. If you get, you explode. I was able to complete a couple of levels. At the end of a sector, a mother ship appears and is able to give you fuel. I was not able to find any sequels to this game. It’s a fun game regardless of the comparison to graphics to newer games. These older action-packed shooting games just can’t compete to up to date video games.
Congo Bongo is an arcade game that was released by Sega in 1983. In this game you play a safari hunter and your trying to catch the ape, name Bongo. In the first of the four levels, which is the only one that I completed. Bongo is throwing coconuts at you, and you’re supposed to climb up a mountain to reach him while dodging monkeys that are after you. I wasn’t a fan of this game. It was frustrating and confusing to me. I was just not that great at it. This game wouldn’t make it in today's video game era. Too much repetition, and super boring! This is probably the reason there were no sequels.
