Released by Parker Brothers in 1983. Quite accurate overall. Like a few other home conversions, the pyramid has been shortened to six rows. The level introduction / demonstration scenes are not present, but the accompanying music is. Sound effects, in general, are quite accurate, and just about all gameplay elements appear to be intact. The Intellivision does a reasonable job of reproducing the sounds of Q*Bert "cursing" when a life is lost.

Seeing the success that Coleco had with their table-top arcade conversions, Parker Brothers decided to enter the market with one of their licenses. The transition from graphics to fixed vacuum fluorescent display was pretty successful, since Q*bert does not require a lot of animation in order to portray the on-screen action. The game is vastly simplified obviously, with the only enemies present being the red balls and Coily. Still, the discs on the side of the pyramid are present and work the same way that they do in the arcade. The case design for table-top Q*bert is distinctly different from other arcade table-top conversions, but it still contains many of the decorations found on the original machine as decals. Parker Brothers did not produce any other arcade table-top conversions.

Nelsonic created a line of digital watches that were capable of playing video games, including [[Pac-Man]] and [[Frogger]]. The gameplay of the watch is a shortened version of the tabletop with one less row of cubes along the bottom of the cube, so it takes six less blocks to complete each stage.

The C64 saw a number of unofficial Q*Bert clones. A clone titled Kanga was published by Future Computer Applications at an unknown time, but presumably shortly after Q*bert gained popularity. May only have been released in Europe. Ian Gray developed Cuddly Cuburt, which was published by Interceptor Software in 1983. Frank Lindsey developed J-Bird, which was published by Orion Software, also in 1983.

Released by Jaleco in 1992. This conversion is technically the start of the updates to the official arcade rules that feature new creatures and modified stage configurations beyond the original pyramid (which is featured in the first stage).
