ヴォル = VOLU
フィー = FEE
ド = DO

VOLUFEEDO :D

This is correct, but how about this as an alternative. The Japanese would romanize VOLU as ヴォル, but if you want to be pedantic (and I do!), the Japanese can't actually pronounce a V sound, so what you get is actually more of a UOLU. Therefore, I think we should start calling the game Vuolfiev/d to attempt to fairly represent all possible interpretations.   : )

UPDATE: As I sipped my coffee this lovely winter morning, I discovered the truth.

TRUTH: Stay true to the game's roots.

OK, I finally voted. I was going to abstain, but I couldn't resist! My vote ties it 5-5! Ha!

I was playing this today.  Just tried to find the manual, but I can't find the case >__>

*edit* found it, but no mention of either in English.  The only reason the search matches nearly equally is because everyone here thinks it's funny to say Volfiev

We used to play this game on MAME all the time in college.  There were two nudie games which were played using the QIX formula.  To this day, I remember the song that played in one of them:

"NOBODY, NOBODY, EVERYBODY MOVE THE BODY."  To this day I still get that song stuck in my head.

It's Volfied from the official printed materials, but VolfieV is the funny (correct) answer.

I voted for VolfieV.  I don't care if it's technically wrong.  It looks cooler.  And I wanted to make the poll even again. :P
