A great one for conversion would be the sequel to Qbert. The original Qbert would be extremely difficult to make accessible I think since it involves jumping around on a three-dimentional pyramid of cubes. The second one, Qbert's Cubes, has a flat field of cubes. Jumping on a cube would cause it to rotate so a new side with a different colour faced the screen. You had to land on the cubes such that all of them matched a target colour. Enemies would jump around and undo your work or try to kill you. You could crush one kind between cubes by timing your jump away so that it landed on a cube that was still rotating. Jumping off the side of the field would still kill you as in the first game. There were a few more elements to it but that one ought to be able to make accessible. Michael Feir Creator and former Editor of Audyssey Magazine 1996-2004 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
