I used to play an arcade game where you have a line that you move in a large square (or rectangle, I an not sure which) and the goal is to box off, with your line, over 75% if the square. The computer has a 'defender' type of enemy that tries to stop you from taking any area. What you 'box off' turns a different color and you get points based on how fast and how large of areas you box off. After the first level or so, the computer adds a second 'enemy' that tries to stop you. If you get touched by the 'enemy' you die. I remember it being in arcades in the early/mid 80's. Anyone know the name of this game???

For what platform? Arcade? It doesn't exist for the 2600 (nor is it likely to in the future).

Why is this question in the 2600pfn forum?

BTW in addition to Qix, a number of clones also exist (like Gals Panic - which reveals undressed women as the screen is filled in).

just download and play type of game.

Search with Google...you can find PC clones easy. Like this one:
