Imago is a vertical scrolling arcade shooter released by Acom in 1984. Combining elements of classic titles like Centipede and Galaga, players take control of a ship defending against waves of insectoid enemies. This version represents the arcade cocktail table set, which was originally designed for two players sitting opposite each other.
How to Play
Players navigate their ship at the bottom of the screen while shooting upwards at descending enemy swarms. The objective is to clear each wave without being destroyed by collisions or incoming fire. The standard arcade controls use the arrow keys to maneuver the ship and the Z or X key to fire.
Tips
- Stay near the bottom center of the screen to give yourself maximum time to react to diving enemies.
- Focus on clearing enemies that break formation early, as they pose an immediate threat.
- Keep your ship moving constantly to avoid becoming an easy target for enemy projectiles.
