"Styx" was an action maze game published by Bug-Byte Software in 1983. It was the first ZX Spectrum game written by Matthew Smith, and the first of his three-game contract with the company. He went on to write "Manic Miner" in the same year, as well as a sprite designer utility for Adrian Sherwin to use in developing "The Birds and the Bees".

Critical reaction

Sinclair User described the game as "reasonably lively" [ [http://www.sincuser.f9.co.uk/020/softwre.htm Sinclair User issue 20] at Sinclair User Magazine Online.] , whilst CRASH said the game "would not be interesting if it weren’t for the fact that it’s not easy."
