Arcade Video game published 36 years ago:

Cube Quest (c) 1983 Simutrek.

In Cube Quest, you must maneuver your space ship through a series of corridors in the Cube. You start off with a radar display of the cube, deciding which of the 54 corridors you want to start in. Each corridor has several enemy fighters that are determined to defeat you. Once you defeat the enemies you zoom back to the radar display of the Cubic World to chose another corridor to travel in. Once you complete all the corridors, you are rewarded with the Treasure of Mytha, Master of the Cube Quest.

- TRIVIA -

Released in December 1983.

This is the second video arcade game to use 3-D Polygon Graphics and was developed after Atari's I, Robot arcade game.

The concept of finding a mysterious cube at the end of the galaxy was borrowed by the new incarnation of the latest Transformers Movie (2008).

The laserdisc backgrounds were produced by Robert Abel and Associates. Robert Abel and Associates (RA&A) was a pioneering production company specializing in TV commercials made with computer graphics. Robert Abel's company, RA&A was especially known for their art direction and won many Clio Awards. Abel and his team created some of the most advanced and impressive computer-animated works of their time, including full ray-traced renders and fluid character animation at a time when such things were largely unknown.
