Perhaps slightly off topic, but perhaps someone here has a contact or idea
on how to get started on this:
Someone has done a Q-Bert port in 2023 to a new system. The title is
different, but the "look and feel" (and audio) is pretty "authentic"
to the
original (not sure if using exactly the same original tiles and such, I
believe it was all original work - but still, it's very much an
arcade-style clone). We see now that Sony "owns" it these days (I seem
to remember decades ago there a Q-bert cartoon? But perhaps remembering it
wrong).
The question is, how would one start on obtaining a license? I assume it
wouldn't be cost effective (for a free casual port), but still just
curious. I've tried to contact Sony in the past (on a different software
title), but it's just a huge enterprise it's a bit challenging to
approach. Just wondering on the off chance if maybe someone around here
has gone down this road already?
