Great classic puzzle game for Game Boy

When I first got this game I was a bit disappointed. It looked like a boring line game. Actually it's a fun and addictive game of trying to capture this creature called Qix into a boxed area. It's a very smart idea and I really liked this game a lot. The graphics are very simple, but the game is a classic. You try to make lines and box in the fast moving Qix.
Here's a good strategy to use with this game. Start out by making a line across the whole screen, like a tower. Then press B and the directional pad to connect the whole area and make it dark (A is for fast lines and B is for slow lines).
The game gets more hard as you go on. It's cool how after you win a certain number of levels there's a cool little animation with fireworks. After you win there's a nice Nintendo show, which differs as you get more points.
Classic game

This exciting game will frustrate and challenge you until you until you play it enough to figure out your strategy a bit. Hint: Build small squares out towards the center, then spread to each side and wrap around to enclose the force field. Progressively harder levels will make this a very addicting game. It gets pretty hairy after level 8, but will keep you coming back. If you liked Pac Man, you'll probably like this even better. Shows colors on Color Game Boy, and looks OK on original (B&W) too!
A classic that everybody should have

I got one question, why don't they make a Qix game for the Nintendo 64? Qix is an awesome game and it is the only one of its kind. You try to fill in so much of a percentage of the screen while avoiding enemies that go around the edge and along the lines you made and also a huge enemy right in the center of the screen that goes back and forth. If any of the enemies that go along the edge touch you or if the major enemy touches you OR the line that you're currently making, you lose a life.
It is real challenging, but a lot of fun at the same time. As you go along, the enemies get faster and you have to fill in more of the screen to get farther. If you like challenging action/puzzle games, you would definitely like Qix, it's a classic.
