That's not an original Qbert manufactured by Gottlieb.

It's just someone's homemade machine with a LCD in it.

That's "epic fail guy".  He's built some classics.
Search the forum for that term and enjoy.

He stopped doing the real weird stuff since we made fun of it.
I miss the action figures glued to the top of cabs and poster side-art.
...and then there was the track shoes and track trophy glued to the top of the Track & Field cab.

His pinball games are still a hoot sometimes.  He had a KISS one with KISS action figures a miniature kiss pinball machine in the back glass.

LOL. That's funny.

Ironically, that vintage plastic Qbert figure he glued on the top is actually worth a couple bucks on eBay.   That cab he built...not so much.

Check his feedback on ebay.  100% satisfied customers and he gets a few hundred bucks out of each monstrosity.

A for effort? LOL

We can't all be Picaso, but there's no chance I'd spend good money on that junk. The Q-Bert one is far less offensive than some of his other "efforts."  :laugh2:
