I remember keying this in to play from the A.N.A.L.O.G. listing. I also remember you could play a certain way to fill the entire screen, 100%.

Fill'er Up! (and the Electric Starfish, small Qix knock-offs) are missing the enemy sparklers that burn like fuses along the walls, making for a dimensionless game which precipitated the creation of "Fill'er Up! II", worthy of letting these older versions get erased. "FU-2" added sparklers, but even "FU-2" still lacks the 2-color 2-speed 2-points draw system which the Arcade and Atari Qix do have.

As long as this file is MISSING, an unauthorized duplicate of it was commercially published in Europe under the name "Electric Starfish". It is a short binary file 3275 bytes but originally appeared as a BASIC program containing all machine language DATA statements, with an instructions page slapped on top of it. "Qix" clone.

This was a nice little Qix clone.
