Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })SQIJ! is a 1986 game developed by Jason Kendall and published by The Power House. It was released on Commodore Plus/4, Commodore 16, and Commodore 64, but it is best known for its ZX Spectrum port by Jason Creighton, which is notorious for being unplayable due to a coding error. According to the backstory, there was a population holocaust that resulted in food running out, which is why Sqij is motivated to kill others by its violent hunger. During the game, Sqij has to find six pieces of the Ener Tree and assemble them on The Great Platform in the cave.

Game-Breaking Bug: The ZX Spectrum port is locked into Caps Lock and then only checks for lower-case letters, making it stuck if the player doesn't use a POKE command.

Excited Show Title!: There's an exclamation mark in the title, potentially to make it stand out with the weird name.

Life Meter: Sqij has a energy meter at the bottom of the screen or just a counter that goes down when it gets hit.

Hitbox Dissonance: In the ZX Spectrum port, Sqij will take damage if it enters the same column as an enemy, regardless of their respective heights.
