Hi all,

To add to previous answers, there was also a version of this by MicroPower,
called 'Frenzy', which I certainly remember playing on my trusty old
Electron (16 years old this year and still going strong...), altough whether
it was released on the BBC, I cannot remember.

It must be said, however, that the 'Qix' converstion was much better
(released by Superior Software).

Cheers
