Anyone remember the game QIX?

Try this shareware game. I've pushed this game before, but it's really feeding my old arcade cravings.

1. you rule Kheph
:toast:


I have received the most blank, "are you mad" kind of looks from people when I ask this question, I was beginning to think I had hallucinated the damned game (not unlikely considering the time period in which it came out :party: )

Now if only I could find a shareware game that feeds my Robotron/SmashTV need. Maybe a good QBERT clone too.

6. That's what I miss about today's games
You don't have to have a complex game. Sometimes the simple games are the best.

9. It's for the PC (and Amigas and Ataris)
But I also miss Archon 1 and 2 more than I would a lung sometimes.

3. Great game! There's even a slogan for it!
"Kid wasted, mother disapproved." :evilgrin:

Fun game. Works better on an emulator... :D

13. If you are looking
for old, non-supported games try www.the-underdogs.org. I stumbled onto this site looking for information for an old game I used to have called 'Search for the Titanic'. Not only found a zip file with the game, but also the manual for the game in text format. They have lots of games, including the original 'Qix'
