I don't remember the first time I played this game, but I remember fondly a few years ago when my roommate and I decided it'd be a nice idea to fire it up in MAME and just play around a bit. We ended up playing for hours, taunting each other to go just a little bit further, just another pixel wider, split the playfield, etc. It was so awesomely fun.

My favorite grandchild of the game is the Gals Panic S games, which manage to evolve the gameplay AND show healthy amounts of t&a. Qix + T&A is like coca cola and pizza.
