  Actually, this version sucks pretty bad compared to the 5200 port. You can get the 5200 conversion for the A8 easily (was done by Glenn the 5200 man back in the day). THAT is the version to play, well done.

  Legend has it that when Atari deep-sixed, that tens of thousands of carts were buried somewhere in a California desert never to be resurrected. Well, I'm glad not all the Qix carts found their way to such an unseemly end. Qix is a terrific game, constantly changing, blood pressure raising, hand sweating, eye bulging, and infuriating. What great fun for the hypertensive! How did they get that code in in an 8K cart? This is a nice coin-op translation that can be played in 30 seconds or 3 hours. Readily available on the Net, it must be in every Atari collectors cart box. Buy it NOW!
