Q*bert Arcade hack

[CDS Games]

Great hack!! The quick and dirty way to get the other characters in here:

 

Quadruple the 2 banks into an 8-bank game. At the end of every round you switch to the next pair of banks. Then you change the sprites in each bank as follows:

 

Banks 0-1: no change

Banks 2-3: change Sam sprite to Slick

Banks 4-5: change red ball to Wrong Way

Banks 6-7: change red ball to Ugg, change Sam to Slick

 

The red ball, Ugg, and Wrong Way don't appear on all the screens of the arcade game so it wouldn't be all that incorrect. Not sure though if it'll be possible to have them start low and travel up instead of down....depends on how separate the enemy behaviors are.

 

An elegant method it ain't, I realize.
