Qix was not as appreciated in its own time as it was later on. Due to its unintuitive gameplay, not too many companies were comfortable taking a chance on bringing it home. But [[Atari]] did, and brought it to it's two 8-bit systems, the [[Atari 5200|5200]] and it's line of [[Atari 8-bit|home computers]] in [[1982]], which uncharacteristically received different versions. It wasn't until [[1989]] when a company known as Alien Technology Group converted the game, under license from Taito, to several popular home computer lines. In [[1990]], Nintendo saw fit to license the game and release it for their popular [[Game Boy]] handheld system where puzzle games gained popularity, thanks to [[Tetris]]. In [[1991]], Taito brought the game home to the [[NES]], and it also saw one more release on the [[Atari Lynx]]. A pseudo-sequel to Qix was released in [[1982]] called '''Qix II-Tournament''', but was the same game with different colors and a free-game bonus. It was truly followed up by [[Super Qix]] in [[1987]]. | Qix was not as appreciated in its own time as it was later on.
