Q*bert is a remake of the arcade game of the same name with three-dimensional (3D) graphics. It was developed by Artech Studios and released by Hasbro Interactive on the PlayStation and PC in 1999 and on the Dreamcast in 2000.

Q*bert has 3 modes of play. Classic is like the original Q*bert, and the graphics can be changed from Retro to Modern. The Adventure mode takes Q*bert to 3D dimensions, and contains power ups and all new characters set in 4 worlds. Head to Head is a multiplayer mode.

Allgame's Brett Weiss praised all aspects of the game, while Parish called it a poor adaptation. Kevin Rice of Next Generation Magazine praised the game's graphics, but criticized the new level designs. He further commented that adventure mode was not enjoyable. The game was the winner of Electronic Gaming Monthly's "Puzzle Game of the Year" award.
