  2. 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 (nescartdb.com/profile/view/103) 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?

  3. @tschak #Qix is a great game. I didn't appreciate it until I became an adult. There's a port for the #nintendoswitch in the #Taito Milestones collection.
