SegaShooters Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Has anyone experienced Qbert Qubes freezing up, especially in Level 4? This must be the 3rd time that this happened and to both my carts too. Can this be a bug or just a coincidence(?). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 clean the cartridge contacts and the connector in the colecovision both. this will fix most cartridge issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Most likely a thorough contact cleaning will solve the problem. I have to clean all the carts I use regularly around once a year and I just use 91% isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip. I played it last night and got to Level 6 before I had to end the gaming session prematurely. I haven't noticed any bugs in the gameplay.

+nanochess Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 We need to track down the programmer to correct the bug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 There is indeed a bug in the game that has been known about for years, but cleaning the cartridge contacts is always a good idea. Here is all the info I have about this bug, sorry, not very detailed: Q*BERT'S QUBES© 1984 Parker Brothers There is an unresolved bug in the game that cause occassional lock-ups. A reason or pattern as to why these lock-ups are occuring has not been identified. This bug occurs on both the ColecoVision and ADAM Computers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
