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).[1][2] In 1998 Andrew Jenner reverse engineered Styx for modern PCs, calling it Styx Remastered.[3] The original uses a tweaked graphics mode and requires a genuine Color Graphics Adapter card - Styx Remastered works with all graphics adapters, but is not 64bit compatible.[4]
