New Wave Offering Another Chance At The ‘Q*Bert’ Prototype RepliCade

New Wave Toys

@!#?@! was the first video game explicative I was exposed to as a kid in the 1980s. After a few lost quarters to a Q*Bert machine, we were yelling far more colorful words at the screen.
You’re in luck if you missed out on New Wave Toy’s first run of pre-orders for the RepliCade Q*Bert machines. The company responsible for these scaled-down replicas of classic cabinets is now taking more orders for the $169.99 Warren Davis prototype Q*Bert cab. This limited edition version of the game is slightly different from the retail version we saw decades ago.

This is a fully playable 1/6th scale replica of Warren’s preproduction prototype Q*bert machine as it sits today as part of WD’s private collection. This limited-edition machine has all the same standard Q*bert features with faithfully reproduced preproduction prototype cabinet artwork. Each cabinet is hand crafted to capture every possible detail including cabinet wear and tear, Gottlieb raised letter coin door, and more!
