Anybody know this game?

My head starts to ache whenever I try to remember that game's name...
Surely one of you knows the name.

You move some kind of gem drawing a line, trying to close an area. It you manage to do so before one of the enemys hits the line, the area fills, revealing part of the background picture, killing any enemy inside. After you've revealed about 90% of the pic, you advance to the next level.

Please. I've got to play it again, it's so much fun. But googling for something without a name isn't.

Well, this game has many, MANY clones (my favourite being Volfied).
The original is called Qix, but I don't think you mean that.
Go to HotU, look up Qix, and work your way up from there.

I remember an old mac game along those lines called prometheus or something like that...

Al_Ninio: great, thanks!!
I found out that the original is called Stix.

Many years ago, I've played it in an arcade in italy, I think it was called Quix there.
I'll download every clone I can get my hands on.
Thanks again!
