Volfied is originally an arcade game developed by Taito in the late 80's. The game is very similar to Qix -- you take control of an object whose purpose is roam the screen, forming shapes and removing them from the play field. By way of reward, a picture is gradually revealed in the removed areas of the screen.The borders of the area which you have not cleared becomes the border of the area you can move along.

Your object must avoid contact with any of the enemies which float around the screen, as this will weaken and eventually destroy it. Barriers limit which parts of the border you can form boxes through. The goal is to clear 80% or more of the screen, and each additional percent adds more points to your balance.

As an arcade conversion this game allows for 1 or two player games in three difficulty levels, but no passwords or saved games. It also has more stages than I could ever pass.

Trivia

This game uses two sound devices. The intro music and the music between the levels are produced by your sound card, while the in-game sound effects are made by the PC Speaker. This technique (while annoying) is shared by another Taito conversion, Qix
