Super Qix is a 1987 sequel to the original Qix arcade title. Only released in arcades, Super Qix has not been re-released since to any other platforms. It functions very similar to the original, where the player—controlling the Marker—seeks to capture segments of the play field while avoiding enemies like the Qix and Sparx.
