Q*Bert review

Computer and Videogames (1983): "The game theme is obvious and its simplicity makes it all the more infuriating when Q*bert's mission ends abruptly. (...) It can be played by one or two people. Q*bert seems to be an appealing creature, despite his habit of swearing a good deal, the graphics and colours are bright and extra Q*berts can be won for scores ranging from 6,000 to 11,000. The machine operator sets the level."
