QIX ports the Taito arcade puzzle on Taito NES with its marker drawing closed areas on grid to reach 75% while avoiding deadly Qix. The representation offers fixed grid with timed drawing and opposing enemies in an original abstract Taito arcade formula. Honest for NES puzzle fans, classic of the 8 bit Taito catalog.

Collector interest

This NES take on Taito's arcade QIX charms with an original screen-claiming concept, but its collectible angle rests mainly on a late US release in late 1991, as attention shifted to the Super Nintendo. That end-of-cycle timing thinned available stock and now supports complete prices against more common loose carts. A pickup for fans of arcade puzzles and of the NES catalog's closing years.
