Qix is an arcade-style puzzle video game that was originally developed by Taito America Corporation and released for the Commodore 64 in 1981. Players must fence off, or 'claim,' a supermajority of the playfield to advance to the next level. The goal is to capture territory by drawing lines to create boxes while avoiding the Qix—an enigmatic entity that roams the screen—and Sparx that patrol the borders. The game is notable for its abstract visuals and has various levels of difficulty. It's a classic title that belongs to the golden age of arcade games and blends the puzzle and action genres.
