Imogen (video game)
Imogen is a computer game released in 1986, originally only for the BBC Micro. It was written by Michael St Aubyn and published by Micro Power. It was reissued as the lead game of Superior Software / Acornsoft's Play It Again Sam 5 compilation in 1988 when it was also converted for the Acorn Electron. It is a platform game featuring puzzles.
Gameplay
The player takes the role of a wizard named Imogen who, according to the backstory, lost his mind and forgot his identity as a result of transforming himself into a dragon to save his town from another dragon. He is placed into a dungeon within a mountain and in order to escape he must utilize magic and puzzle-solving abilities he was previously aware of as his former self. The upshot is that he will only be free once he is back to his old, sane self and no longer a danger to the townsfolk.
The game features sixteen levels which are played in a random order. To complete a level, Imogen needs to obtain a spell fragment which will warp him to the next level or, after all sixteen have been collected and the spell completed, to the outside world, thus completing the game. The spell fragments are always placed somewhere inaccessible at the outset of the level, and obtaining the spell fragments requires some lateral thinking on behalf of the player.
Imogen (Cymbeline)
Imogen was the daughter of King Cymbeline in Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. She was described by William Hazlitt as "perhaps the most tender and the most artless" of all Shakespeare's women.
Name
According to some modern editions of Shakespeare's plays, notably the 1986 Oxford Edition, the correct name is in fact Innogen, and the spelling "Imogen" is an error which arose when the manuscripts were first committed to print. The name Innogen is mentioned as a ghost character in early editions of Much Ado About Nothing as the wife of the Leonato character. Imogen in Cymbeline is paired with a character with the epithet "Leonatus".
Actions in the play
Imogen is princess of Britain, and the virtuous wife of the exiled Posthumus, whose praise of her moral purity incites Posthumus's acquaintance Iachimo to bet Posthumus that he can seduce her. When he fails, Iachimo hides in her bedchamber and uncovers her body while she sleeps, observing details of a mole on her breast which he then describes to Posthumus as proof that he had slept with her. Posthumus plots to kill his wife, but the designated killer reveals the plot to Imogen and advises her to hide; she escapes to the woods dressed as a man and falls in with a family who help her. Taking a drug, she falls into a coma and is presumed dead by the family, who cover her body and sing a song over her. When she wakes she finds the headless body of Cloten, a brutish character who had planned to rape her while wearing Posthumus's clothes, but had been killed in a fight with one of the men who took her in. She mistakes the headless body for that of her husband. After the battle at the climax of the play she confronts Iachimo who confesses his lies. She is reunited with Posthumus, and her father (King Cymbeline), and discovers two of the men who took her in are actually her long lost brothers.

Shorty (You Keep Playin' With My Mind)
by: Imajinfeaturing Keith Murray
1 - Shorty you keep playin' with my mind
You tease me all the time but I had enough
Maybe I should ask your girlfriends why
Why you are so afraid to fall in love
Girl I won't get next to you
You know I don't like sweatin' you
But something 'bout the way you make me feel
You got me in this fantasy
And all my friends keep tellin' me
Shorty's kinda hot, so what's the deal?
2 - Cuz we been spendin', rollin', livin', showin'
We got some time for play
But you've been player hatin', waitin'
For this rhyme to pass away
Repeat 1
You only get the best with me
I wanna give you everything
And anything you ask of me I will
And I don't want to front on you
So tell me what you wanna do
And if I'm not the one
Just keep it real
Repeat 2
Repeat 1
[Keith Murray]
Now first of all baby, what's my name?
Spell it backwards you read game
I'm known for splittin' wigs and readin' brains
And when I say splittin' wigs and readin' brains
I mean breakin' it down conversation-wise
Let me explain
I'm in your corner, girl be on my team
Together we could fulfill each other's life dream
We both Gemini so we got 2 sides
Our zodiac sign is the perfect sign
Cuz she replied, ";All Gemini's lie";
I guess this is what it feels like when doves cry
Your attitude is deep cover
Won't give me the number
Cold play me out like a foul, a bleep or a blunder
It's like a burnin' in the chest, a cardiac arrest
You look like you havin' fun puttin' me thru stress
So in between time and in the meantime
You do your thing and I do mine
But don't play wit my mind
Shorty, shorty
Won't you please get naughty with me
And if you really wanna
I can be your fantasy
You are so afraid, oh baby
Repeat 1 until fade
