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. | Nelsonic created a line of digital watches that were capable of playing video games, including [[Pac-Man]] and [[Frogger]].
