As soon as you have claimed a sufficient amount of territory, you go on to the next level.

Good games are timeless - or are they? Board games such as Monopoly , chess, and checkers have been around for decades or even centuries. Card games such as poker, bridge, and gin rummy are pretty old, too. But videogames are another story. Most of them seem to come and go in a matter of months. That's why if you remember Qix, you're probably at least 25 years old. Qix first appeared in video arcades in After a typically brief period of popularity, it went into hibernation until its recent revival for Nintendo, the Game Boy, and home computers.

Unlike a princess in a fairy tale, however, Qix hasn't grown more attractive during its long sleep. In fact, today's gamers might think that Qix has awakened without any improvements. For like all early videogames, Qix is a very simple game with very simple graphics. Each stage begins with a nearly blank screen. Your goal is to fill as much of that screen as possible by moving a small marker.

At first, your marker can move only along the screen border. But when you hold down the A or B button, you can move off the border into the open area of the screen, leaving behind a trail. When you move back onto the border or a previously drawn trail, the area you've enclosed is filled with color. To advance to the next stage, you must fill a certain percentage of the screen.

Qix is an arcade game, released by Taito America Corporation in At the start of each level, the playing field is a large, empty rectangle, containing the Qix — a sticklike entity that performs graceful but unpredictable motions within the confines of the rectangle. The player controls a small diamond-shaped marker that can move around the edges of the rectangle, with the goal to claim as much of the screen as possible via drawing lines.

When the player completes a closed shape, the captured area defined as the side of the Stix opposite to where the Qix is becomes solid and points are awarded. To complete a level, the player must claim most of the playfield the game was shipped at 75 percent for level completion, but the arcade operator could adjust the requirement between 50 percent and 90 percent. The player's marker had the option of moving at two different speeds; areas drawn at the slower speed red on the screenshot shown were worth double points.

The player has a limited number of lives and can lose a life if the Qix touches a line as it is being drawn, or by being touched by spark — enemies that traverse all playfield edges except uncompleted lines. Additionally, a fuse appears if the marker stops moving while in the process of drawing Stix, disappearing when the player starts moving again.

The player has no defenses thus all enemies must be outmaneuvered. A time meter located at the top of the screen is responsible for the countdown of the entry of additional Sparx and the mutation of all sparks to Super-Sparks, which have the ability to chase the player even up an unfinished line.

After the player completes two levels, the difficulty increases. This includes multiple Qixes and sparks, speed increases, and the eventual appearance of only super sparks. In levels with two Qixes, the player can also complete the level by drawing a line that splits the playfield into two regions each containing a Qix, thereby increasing the multiplier and starting a new level.
