Yes, on the GBA. You will be playing (probably) only on the 6 faces of the cube, so each face will be exactly like the original. Viewpoint will be flattened to a 3D-type (as if you're sitting on one end of a square table). Yes, cube will rotate when you get to any edge and push... I haven't seen Atari Video Cube. Perhaps the early levels will be Qb as you know it... then later levels include all faces of a cube... then later ones also include internal layers. I haven't really thought about it more deeply than that, as I really need to learn a bit more about the GBA first. :) Sounds like, from the comments, some are becoming rather attracted to Qb's gameplay! As an easter-egg for some other game, it sounds like a neato-idea... I'll keep that in mind :) Cheers A -- _ _ _| _ _ _| _ * _ _ , (_|| )(_|( (/_\/\/ (_|(_|\/(_(/_ ,~' L_|\ ,-' \ see my Museum of Soviet Calculators at ( \ http://www.taswegian.com/MOSCOW/soviet.html \ __ / Qb: the latest retro video game!
