Does anyone remember a really old game (although not quite as old as either Donkey Kong or Pacman) called Cubert.
It consisted of a little man (the eponyous character) bouncing around on a pyramid of boxes. I haven't played it for years and had completely forgotten about it's existence until about a week ago when I was listening to the first System of a Down (an Armenian/American alt-ska-metal band) album and there appears to be a song dedicated to it. (Considering it has some of the sound effects in the background and contains the line "A pyramid mindf**k!")
Curious?

I remember it! It was called Q*Bert, actually, and looking back, it was pants. But I definitely remember it...

You're right. That was the name. I was getting it confused with said System... song.
And it was not pants! It might not have been as good as Battle Tanks (or whatever it was called) but it was still one of the best damn games ever invented!
