Atari A to Z: Qix

I love me some Qix, and it’s a game I developed quite an early fondness for thanks to the Atari 8-bit version I grew up with.

There’s an Atari 5200 version that is almost arcade-perfect available, but the Atari 8-bit edition went in a slightly different direction, making itself more distinctive and unique to the 8-bit platform in the process.

  1. Is it OK for me to admit that I preferred the Atari 8bit version over the Arcade? I found the presentation to be more vibrant and I really liked the controls too. 🙂

  2. I love Qix! This is a good version, but I have also downloaded the arcade rom which is the best way to play. I have fond memories of playing this at my local supermarket back in ’82-83. Engaging gameplay, awesome sound and a challenging little game. The Atari 800 version here is good, too, and everyone should try it – it still stands as one of my favorite arcade games.
