Complex X is a platform arcade game, released by P.G.D. (Progressive Game Distributors) in April 1985; it was the last game to run on the altered version of Taito's Qix hardware first used for Space Dungeon, The Electric Yo-Yo, Kram, and Zoo Keeper (two Motorola M6809s run at 1.25 MHz and a Motorola M6802 run at 921.6 KHz, with an added Motorola M68705 run at 1 MHz). The game was originally going to be released by Taito America, but the company never released it because they closed down their manufacturing plant in September 1984.

The player must use two eight-way joysticks (one for moving and one for firing) to take control of a nuclear scientist whose objective is to escape from a flooding reactor as the water's level rises below him before running out of air (which is indicated by the "AIR LEFT" meter at the top of the screen) - and every blue-and-magenta square he collects shall add ten shots to his reserve (indicat

The Great Space Race is a combination role-playing game and science-fiction space combat game. The basic premise of the game is that a new super-drink called Natof has been discovered. Natof has three key properties, which are to get the person drunk, never leave him with a hangover, and supply him with all the nutrition required from a well-balanced (if never sober) diet.
The name Natof is a portmanteau of the phrase "NAme TO Follow" - the sentence sent with the first batch of miracle drink by the discoverer.
The manual describes the game as "a true computer movie. The player can just watch events unfold, joining in as much or as little as he wishes." The objective is "to deliver, to the space stations as much Natof as the player can, as fast as he can." The game will play itself if left alone — indeed the computer generally makes a better player than a human does — although that rather defeats the point of the game.
