    Thanks dude.  I think this will be a fun one.
  • Have only tested this game out for a few minutes years ago just to see what kind of game it was, so don't have much familiarity with it, not even sure if I can even be much of a contender on it, but will give it a shot when I can put aside some time for it.
  • Yeah, I've never played it. Should be interesting. I guess we'll see who the real Qix master is this week .
  • Just popped it in now for the first time to pop my NA Contest cherry

    Josh better change his name if he doesn't win.
  • awesome, this should be fun!
  • I need to look up a tutorial on this game. This game makes no sense at all to me.
  • ^ If you let the game sit at the title screen long enough it gives you a tutorial
  • I think anybody with the name of a game should not be allowed to compete in the tourny...

    Besides, just becuase he likes the game enough to take it's name, does not mean he is an expert at it...look at me, I have never ever eaten at a Benihana's restaurant. It is on like...well Qix!
  • Here's the best I could do today:

    At least I got a score in. You don't know how long I tried before I could clear the 25,000 level to get on the leader board.
    Might try some more later in the week...
  • Can someone please explain what the hell it means when you get "double points when you split stix". I have had that message pop up everytime on level 3 and I never know what to do.

    I haven't done it myself, but I think it means that if you separate the two lines that bounce around the screen onto two separate sections of the playing field, you get double points for it.  That's my guess.

    Okay I think I know what you mean. I don't even think it's worth it with how much time would be wasted lol. I will see what happens. Thanks

    No problem, man.  I want to try this, but I'm having a hard enough time with level 3 as it is lol.  I draw like 2 boxes and then lose lol.  I am definitely not that great at this game yet.

    Man when you get to level seven your going to be swearing all over the place. I've gotten to level seven three different times I lose all for lives within a minute. I hate that level with the passion. I'm getting used to the first couple levels though.

    Oh and I finally did that split thing. If you do it on another level you get another multiplier. I've only gotten a times three multiplier though. 



  • edit

  • Dang, to bad I don't have a cart of this. The Twin Galaxies score is junk.
  • Yeah, its that way with alot of the games, some don't even have any submissions.



    You have any TG scores Mog?
  • Well shit...I guess I might as will give up now...You guys are ridiculous.

    No. I sent in a Marble Madness one 6 months ago and nothing ever happened. They did just get a new NES ref, so I think I might try to send a few in again.
  • I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit this one out. I can't get into this game at all.

    Talk about frustrating, been playing this one for quite a few hours, had me cursing quite a bit too. Furthest I made it was to stage 10, the Qix became way too fast, just too bad I couldn't have beaten that stage, my score would have been much high because of the 5 time multiplier I had. I can say this, I hate this game, yet find it hard to put down. My scores were very inconsistant with this game, one moment I'd do really well, the next game totally suck and it'd go back and forth like this, sometimes I'd have several terrible games in a row, a few times do really good, but then right back to getting poor scores again. Hard game. Very different, but in a good way, pisses me off yet makes me come back for more.

    Score upon game over 252,859

    See updated score in a more recent post.

  • That Qix is a bastard...goddamnit.
