Zimag (stylized as ZiMAG) was the name used by Magnetic Tape International to market consumer products, including video games and blank audio cassettes, VHS tapes, and floppy disks.[1] Magnetic Tape International was a wholly owned subsidiary of Intermagnetic Corporation.[1] The company released games for the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit computers in 1982 and 1983. The 2600 titles are games from Bit Corporation ported from PAL to NTSC and with different names.[2] The Atari 8-bit computer titles were developed by Syncro, Inc.[3]

Zimag's four Atari 2600 releases received more promotion than the relatively obscure computer games, but they were released during the North American video game crash of 1983.
