arcadegame i lost all my money to

[coachchris]

greetings from holland
I am looking for the name of an old arcadegame.
i got talking about it the other day and it feels like it is a long,long time ago in a distant galaxy that i played it,
gives the old age away???

it was a game where you had to contain a moving spiral with a line,
and every time you touched a side,made a square or rectangle it changed colour,became solid and that way you contained
the spiral.
if the spiral touched your moving line before you reached a side you lost a life,but if you got more than 50% of
the screen coloured you went to the next level.

any help would be great.

Heya cb and welcome to AF!

Qix, without a doubt. Even though there are hundreds of variations of that game, "Qix" is the one and only original.
