Your objective is to draw lines called Stix to claim as much of the playfield as possible. Just watch out for the Sparx, the Fuse, and the titular, unpredictable Qix (pronounced "kicks").

Did you know the original arcade version of ''Qix'' was developed in America, designed by husband and wife Randy and Sandy Pfeiffer? Mr. Pfeiffer might even acknowledge it was his if you [[Blog:3#Upcoming Interviews|ask]] [http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?p=1493262 nicely]. (Please don't bother him.)

Numerous sequels, updates, ports, and clones have followed. And now, the Game Boy version is available through the 3DS Virtual Console.

First released in 1990, Game Boy ''Qix'' is a straightforward conversion of the original. There is, however, the added possibility of seeing Mario in a sombrero or working as a matador after beating the 1-player game, depending on your score.

Thanks to [http://www.faqs.org/copyright/wave-race-blue-storm-by-nintendo-software-technology/ US copyright records], we now know that [[Minakuchi Engineering]] was responsible for Game Boy ''Qix''.

Among them is [http://www.youtube.com/user/osadatoru composer Toru Osada], who also worked on the shooter ''Solar Striker''. (Don't bother him, either.)
