Play Ultimate Qix Online

Ultimate Qix on the Genesis is one of those games that looks simple until you actually play it. You control this little cursor, drawing lines to box off chunks of the screen while these chaotic enemies dart around trying to wreck you. At first, I thought I could just play it safe—tiny boxes, no risks—but then I realized the real points come from those big, sweeping captures where your heart’s pounding the whole time.

The enemies have this way of lulling you into a rhythm before suddenly zigging when you expected them to zag. And the music? Pure early '90s Sega—synthy, urgent, the kind of track that gets stuck in your head after one play. It’s got that classic arcade tension where every decision matters, but it never feels unfair. Just don’t blame me when you lose an hour to "one more try."
