Qix

Released by Taito in 1981, Qix is an inventive territorial game in which players must draw lines to claim sections of the playfield while avoiding "Qix," a mysterious lifeform moving around the screen. With its clear goal of capturing at least 75% of the area and its pulse-pounding design that rewards those who take risks, the game offered a fresh and surprising experience to players of the era. Its simple yet highly strategic gameplay pioneered the action-puzzle genre and continues to hold an undiminished appeal today.
