Oh this game brings back memories, not about this particular game, but about other Qix-type games. I used to play them quite a lot during my elementary school years.
I'd like to remember being quite good at them at the time, but that "good" may be relative...

Sometimes l like to draw cool designs in this game, heh heh - like an etch-a-sketch. This game is addictive for me. One of my favorites.

I think if you draw out more smaller shapes around the board and long pieces to then trace around those shapes with the slow mark, the Qix gets confused a little.. ...l think.
Love this game.

Cool to see the origins of this genre. Never heard of this game, but I've definitely played similar more modern versions.
