Get your Qix on Retrocade Now

We reported previously on the Apple Arcade app Retrocade, which gives players the chance to enjoy classic arcade games in a virtual 1980s arcade environment, and, as of yesterday (August 27, 2026), yet another arcade classic was added to the app, in the form of Qix, Taito’s classic box-drawing puzzler.

Originally released in arcades in 1981, in Qix, the aim of the game is to claim territory across the playfield while dodging the unpredictable Qix and Sparx enemies, and the game’s  arrival on Retrocade brings the app’s lineup to 14 titles in total.

Retrocade is available on Apple Arcade, and it can be played on iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro, Mac and Apple TV, with global leaderboards and unlockable achievements on offer.

A full list of the games currently available to play on Retrocade is:

1. Asteroids
2. Bubble Bobble
3. Breakout
4. Centipede
5. Dig Dug
6. Frogger
7. Galaga
8. Haunted Castle
9. Pac-Man
10. Qix
11. Space Invaders
12. Tempest
13. Tetris* (the original Electronika 60 computer version)
14. Track & Field

*Tetris is not available in Retrocade for iPhone/iPad. We guess the infamously convoluted licensing agreements for Tetris must mean that Nintendo still has exclusivity on the game appearing on handheld formats?

For more information on Retrocade, you can visit the website of the app’s developer, Resolution Games.

I'm a retro gamer and writer who writes about video games for online and print outlets. My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
