This is the game of QIX, which I first played on a Taito arcade machine
some years ago, and enjoyed (no, I didn't write this...don't remember who
did if I ever knew).

When the game is started, you will be presented with a more-or-less blank 
colored screen; somewhere on the screen there is an shimmering entity
called the QIX. 

The idea behing QIX is to use the joystick and fire button to draw a 
rectangle around the QIX, with the intent of trapping it into as small an 
area as possible.

The problem is that if the QIX touches the line you are drawing, before you
are done drawing it, you lose the man. Letting up on the draw button, for
any reason, is a risky procedure, because if you do, the FUSE will ignite,
travel out the line you are drawing, and blow you to Kingdom Come (or maybe
even Cleveland).

Have fun! Don't get blown up.
