Qix - Atari 5200

Qix for the Atari 5200 is an action-puzzle video game with a unique gameplay concept. Developed by Taito, players are challenged to navigate a marker within a playfield, drawing lines to create boxes and claiming territory, all while avoiding the enigmatic and unpredictable Qix—a floating, helix-like creature—and its minions, the Sparx. The goal is to claim a majority of the playfield (usually 75%) by drawing Stix and partitioning off pieces of the screen while maintaining a strategic balance between risk and reward. It's an engaging, abstract strategy game that tests both quick reflexes and tactical thinking. Compare on Price Charting
