  • Imagic era una società statunitense di sviluppo e pubblicazione di videogiochi fondata nel 1981. La società realizzò il suo primo gioco nel marzo 1982. Fu il secondo gruppo di programmazione software indipendente a formarsi dopo Activision. Realizzò sette titoli per Atari e cinque per Intellivision nel suo primo anno. Nel 1983, si dedicò anche a Colecovision e Odyssey II. Il team Imagic comprendeva ex impiegati di Atari e di Mattel Electronics. La loro esperienza condusse Imagic a creare alcuni dei giochi meglio riusciti per le suddette console. Imagic produceva solo giochi e tutti questi erano creati internamente, senza costose licenze da pagare per trasposizioni arcade o tie-in cinematografici. La società riusciva così a tener testa ai maggiori concorrenti Atari, Mattel Electronics e Coleco. Tuttavia Imagic risentì molto del crash del 1983, nonostante producesse anche titoli per home computer. Activision ne ha rilevato i diritti. (it)
