Q Bert

We couldnt resist doing a Q bert tee. No not the best turntablist in the world , but the 80s puzzle game that even had its own Saturday mooning cartoon Q bert is simple in its genius. Bounce around on the M.C Escher type cubic grid and turn the blocks a different color while avoiding nasties. There was no in game music but the sound effects of you and the enemies hopping created a rhythm that became more frantic the more enemies there were on the screen. Ok befoer this turns into a classic of the month review heres the print

The Story


2Bop started in 2004 as a way to turn a passion for classic video games into a form of expression.

2Bop draws inspiration primarily from games that were popular in South Africa at corner shops and arcades in the1980’s and early 1990’s when gameplay was key and graphics if they were good were an added bonus. Disadvantaged areas during apartheid South Africa had little to offer in terms of exposure to cutting edge international design or computer technology but the bootleg arcade games that used twenty cent pieces (a 2Bop) to play at the corner shop were a window into what was happening in the outside world. These games granted access to excellent electronic entertainment and exposed the 2Bop crew to intuitive and engaging interface design, game design, graphic and sound design primarily from Japan and North America. And so began a long fascination with the medium that shows no signs of stopping.
