Synopsis

Imago is a vertical shoot'em up developed by Acom in 1983. The game strongly resembles Centipede mixed with Galaga, as much in its game design as in its sprites and its gameplay. We face enemies reminiscent of the centipedes of Centipede, others close to the aliens of Galaga, and even some inspired by Space Invaders. The small green spheres serve as obstacles and, by destroying them, small colored “invaders” appear: blue gives points, yellow releases a second ship to assemble with yours, thus offering a double shot to the player. The game offers a nervous rhythm typical of shooters from the early 80s.
