N. The Q*bert Joystick -
Q*bert is a unique game played with a unique joystick.
The game Q*bert, and a few others, are played with diagonal joystick moves, unlike all the other common popular up-down-left-right joystick games.
In other words, the common modern 8-way and 4-way joysticks will not play, and cannot be altered to play, Q*bert correctly.
Production of the original Q*bert joystick ceased over 30 years ago. So, finding a suitable modern replacement joystick has been a challenge.
We tested over a dozen modern joysticks, until we found one with similar action and feel as the original Q*bert joystick. That special joystick is the one that we use in this machine.
