Description

"Cubicolor" is a puzzle game designed for the Atari 2600 / VCS console, created by Rob Fulop in 1982 during his time at Imagic. The game, however, was never officially released through Imagic due to the company's decision not to move forward with it. Fulop later on released about one hundred cartridges of "Cubicolor" independently in 1983. The objective of the game is deceptively simple yet engaging; players aim to manipulate a 3D cube with the goal of arranging the colors so that each of the six sides of the cube displays a single, solid color. This mechanically straightforward concept translates into an absorbing and challenging experience as players must think critically about each move in the context of three-dimensional space.

Gameplay in "Cubicolor" consists of rotating the cube along its X, Y, and Z axes, selections that players make using the joystick and button combinations unique to the Atari 2600’s controller. It features a timer and point system to track progress and skill level. The original release's rarity and the unique gameplay mechanics make it a valued collector's item among vintage video game enthusiasts. What sets "Cubicolor" apart from many other puzzle games of its time is its early use of a 3D perspective, which later became a popular element in many video games. Despite its low production numbers and the obscurity of its release, "Cubicolor" remains a fascinating artifact of early video game development and a testament to the creativity of its designer.
