Qix! Description |
|
| |
Qix! is a simple but addictive game copied from the ancient Digital Equipment VAXs. Easier to play than describe!
Qix! is a simple but addictive game. I first came across it on Digital Equipment VAXs in around 1983, and this implementation works pretty much the same.
You control a green blob in a rectangular playing area. Your aim is to enclose as much of the open area as possible by drawing a trail between the sides. Sounds easy enough huh? But there are two elements working against you; 1; the drones that blindly follow the edge - you mustn't let them touch you, and 2; the Qix that wanders the open area - you must avoid it also. The Qix will actively attack while you are drawing and exposed, but will completely ignore you otherwise. It also has the nasty habit of changing direction when you least expect it.
When the area you have enclosed is larger than the target area you will start on the next screen... with a slightly higher target to reach... and, depending on how well you're doing, possibly an extra drone or two. |
