Q-Bert Creators Get Interviewed

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an Arcadeperfect.com interview with the three original creators of Gottlieb's classic arcade game Q*Bert. As the interview says, "Developed at Gottlieb's Northlake plant and released in 1982, Q*Bert is a lesson unto both the players and creators of video games. Designed and programmed by Warren Davis with sound by David Thiel and art by Jeff Lee, the antics of the game's title character and his nemesis, Coily, are a unique and vital touchstone in the history of gaming." And yes, there really was an unreleased sequel called Faster Harder More Challenging Q*Bert, quite apart from the rare Q*Bert's Qubes.
