Qix for Nintendo NES is a classic arcade-style puzzle game. It was released in 1990 and is renowned for its simplicity and addicting gameplay mechanics. Players control a cursor moving around the edges of a rectangle and claim territory within the rectangle by drawing lines. The objective is to claim a supermajority of the rectangle's area while avoiding enemy attacks. Players must be strategic and balanced in their risks, as one touch of an undrawn line or hit by an enemy ends the game. Qix is a vintage example of the strategy-action genre.
