Qix
arcade enclosuring game for Commodore 64, 1983
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 1.
In this game, you guide a marker which must draw rectangles and other weird
objects in order to claim your territory, and you can either draw these
rectangles fast or slow. Drawing the rectangles using the "slow" method
awards you the most points. Once a rectangle has been made, it will be
colored in to show that you have claimed your territory. While drawing the
rectangles, you need to watch out for Qix (pronounced "kicks"), a series of
colored lines that crawl the screen. In addition to Qix, you also need to
avoid the Sparks who travel around the border, as well as any lines that you
have made, as well as The Fuse, who travels along the line that you are
drawing. Once you have claimed enough territory, you proceed to the next
level.
