Just remembered that the #NES has a port of #Qix, and wondering how it's implemented. The NES doesn't have a bitmapped graphics mode, but QIX is an intrinsically bitmapped game.
Checking #NesCartDB (https://nescartdb.com/profile/view/1034/qix) reveals the cart has 16K of RAM onboard, which makes sense. I presume it fills a portion of the visible screen with unique tiles and then draws on the definition table to create a makeshift bitmap?
