What was this weird game ?

[Bountybob]

Came across this weird arcade game in 1983.I don't remember much It was like a giant Rubix Cube or maybe a grid with different characters or and objects on each of the tiles inside the grid You could only see one side of it at a time.Think the characters where animated or maybe moved across the tiles or the tiles rotated ? Think it might have been like a puzzle.Sorry thats all I remember.One other thing maybe, I'm thinking one of the characters was a policeman animorph and maybe another a convict animorph maybe a dog.

Came across this game from 1987 called Parabola. It was made by a company called Firebird, and mainly released in the UK. Here are the pics. Let me know if this is the game you are thinking of.

probably not, looks like you have to control that little diamond around and run things over for points. The OP didn't mention something like that.

OK, we'll try this til we get it right. Here is a pic of Q*bert's Qubes. Does this look similar to what you are thinking about?

Could it be QB-3 by Rock-Ola?

 

"QB-3 is a color vector arcade game from Rock-Ola that was produced in 1982. The object of the game was to

control a space cube and shoot the stars and points of light on each of the faces. Once you cleared a face you

must rotate the cube to get to the next wave."

Otherwise you can do a search by year in KLOV and browse titles for ones that have promising sounding

names, then check the screen shots. I found quite a few square and cube-based puzzle games that

way, but none that exactly match your description...
