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
