Styx is a video game released by Windmill Software in 1983 as a copy-protected, bootable 5.25" floppy disk for the IBM PC/XT. It is a clone of the 1981 arcade game Qix. In September 2004 the source code of the game became available "for historical interest" (with other Windmill Software games such as Digger). Also, there is a reverse engineered variant from Andrew Jenner, called Styx Remastered. It does not work on modern PCs because it requires a genuine Color Graphics Adapter card.
