Volfied is the weird, underrated cousin in the QIX series—same core idea (carve out territory while dodging enemies), but with a slick sci-fi makeover. Instead of abstract shapes, you're fighting off alien creatures on these neon-bright grids, trying to claim chunks of the screen without getting cornered. The tension’s still there—do you play it safe with small cuts or risk a big sweep and pray nothing zips your way?

It’s got that classic '80s arcade vibe where one wrong move ruins everything, but in a way that makes you immediately hit restart. The Genesis version keeps the challenge intact, though the colors pop a little less than the arcade original. Still, if you like your retro games with a side of panic, this one’s a blast.
