Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Gameplay screenshot of the Atari 2600 version of the video game Q*bert.
Author or copyright owner	Parker Brothers / Gottlieb
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Screenshot taken directly from the game.
Date of publication	1983
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	*Qbert**
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This image is to illustrate the difference in visual style and changes in gameplay in comparison to the original Q*bert arcade game. The Atari 2600 being the most widely used home video game system at the time, a screenshot of this version is essential in demonstrating how most players at the time experienced the game in their homes.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The copyright owner has released no such images into the public domain.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	The way in which the layout diverges from the typical Escher-inspired style of the original arcade game cannot be easily conveyed through text alone.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The file is a tiny, non-interactive screenshot of the interactive video game. The resolution is just big enough to not destroy the pixel art, which is an important element in the visual style for video games of that era.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Being a non-interactive screenshot of an interactive video game, the image can not interfere with the product's market opportunities.
