Play ▸Zimag (also written ZiMAG) was the brand that Magnetic Tape International used for its consumer products, including blank cassettes and video games. In 1983 it released four games by the Taiwanese company Bit Corporation in North America, converted from PAL to NTSC and given new names. Its KidStuff label was aimed at children under nine. The company went out of business before some planned games came out, and those survive only as prototypes. The site has six Zimag games:
I Want My Mommy (1983): a teddy bear climbs a six-floor building to find his mother.
Dishaster (1983): keep spinning plates from crashing, based on Bit Corporation’s Dancing Plate.
Tanks But No Tanks (1983): Bit Corporation’s Phantom Tank, with enemy tanks fading in and out of view.
Cosmic Corridor: Bit Corporation’s Space Tunnel under a new name.
Immies & Aggies: an unreleased marble-shooting prototype.
A Mysterious Thief: a one-of-a-kind burglary prototype credited to Zimag or Vidco.
