I'm sorry Jeff Minter but I'm more interested in the new Alien Breed.

Really, $10 for Qix?

I agree that's absurd. I'd feel ripped off even paying $5 for it.

Space Giraffe would have greatly benefited from simpler visuals and less obnoxious sound effects, but the actual game was fun and rewarding. A lot of depth the asshat reviewers completely failed to catch.

yeah, I try and wait for most XBLA games to become the deal of the week. it'll be harder to wait for Qix though, it's a pretty awesome game.

I used to love the Qix sound in the Arcade. The graphics at the time also looked amazingly high tech.

PS: worse Qix player ever in that video! :)

Qix is a fun game, but $10? That's 2/3 the price of Shadow Complex.

I'd love them to bring back the old arcade games like they use to but not Qix and not for 10 bones.

Oooh I freaking played the s*** out of that game on my Atari 5200 as a kiddo.

If anyone else loves Qix check out Dr. Awesome on the iPhone. Only $2 and lots of fun.

Nice price for the No Doubt Rock Band Singles Pack. 13 tracks for $15 is a no-brainer (assuming you are the 2-3 people that don't have it already).

Qix-style games just don't feel the same if I'm not unlocking a naked lady in the background as I play.

Or rather, TRYING to unlock a naked lady, but getting a horrific picture instead because I ran out of time.

Hoooooly crap, do I feel ripped off. I bought the game right away, because I played Qix obsessively on the original Gameboy. Not only does this version (PAID version, mind you) only have two sets of 8 levels that an elderly person could beat in less than 10 minutes, but the multiplayer is utterly unplayable. Even with only two people playing, the screen refreshes about 3 times a second. It's like watching one of those really, really low res online webcams that cant handle any movement on the screen. This is a piece of dung, and not at all worthy of the Qix name.
