Imagic

Imagic was a company that developed and published video games. Founded in 1980 by former Atari employees, Imagic quickly became a significant player in the early console gaming market. The company was known for its visually impressive and often innovative titles for the Atari 2600 and Intellivision consoles.

Among Imagic's most well-known games were "Cosmic Ark," "Demon Attack," and "Fantastic Voyage." "Demon Attack" was particularly notable for its advanced graphics and gameplay for the time, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. Imagic often focused on creating original intellectual properties rather than adapting existing franchises.

Despite its initial success, Imagic faced challenges, including a competitive market and the eventual decline of the Atari 2600. The company underwent several changes in ownership and direction throughout the 1980s. By the late 1980s, the Imagic brand as a prominent game developer had largely faded. Although the company itself ceased to exist in its original form, its contributions to the early video game industry are remembered by enthusiasts and historians.
