Quartet (video game)


Quartet is a 1986 video game released in arcades by Sega in 1986. Quartet allows one to four players to guide a set of characters through a base taken over by an army of robots. Players control either Joe, Mary, Lee, or Edgar across a number of sideways-scrolling levels. The object of the game is to advance through the level, fighting opponents that come out of portals in the walls, and eventually defeat a boss that carries the door key used to open the "exit door" for the level.
The game was ported to the Master System, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.

Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Quartet on their May 1, 1986 issue as being the second most-successful upright arcade unit of the year.
