          Vertical  Financial Holdings  ("Vertical")  hereby amends the Schedule
13D filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on October 15, 1999 (the
"Schedule 13D") relating to the shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Interactive Magic, Inc. (the "Company") as follows:

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          On  November  14,  1999,  Vertical  purchased  700,000  shares  of the
Company's  Common Stock in a private  placement.  Vertical paid $700,000 for the
700,000 shares of Common Stock out of its working capital.

has no plans or intentions which related to or would have resulted in any of the
transactions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

          Depending  upon  the  Company's   financial   condition,   results  of
operations,  future  prospects  and other  factors,  Vertical  may,  and  hereby
reserves the right to,  communicate  with other  shareholders  of the Company or
persons who may desire to become shareholders of the Company,  and the Company's
management and its Board of Directors.  Except as described above,  Vertical has
no plans or intentions of the type set forth in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Based upon information set forth in the Company's  Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on November 15,
1999,  as of November 12,  1999,  there were  14,655,337  shares of Common Stock
issued  and  outstanding.  As of such  date,  for the  purposes  of Rule  13d-3,
Vertical beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,745,649 shares of Common Stock, or
18.7% of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock,  including  (i)
1,098,172  shares  owned by  Vertical,  (ii)  427,394  shares  owned by entities
beneficially owned by Vertical and (iii) 1,220,084 shares owned by other persons
for which Vertical has voting power pursuant to a proxy agreement.

          Vertical  has sole  power to vote or to direct  the vote of  2,745,649
shares  of  Common  Stock  and has  sole  power  to  dispose  or to  direct  the
disposition of 1,525,566  shares of Common Stock.  Vertical does not have shared
power to vote or to direct the vote or shared  power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of any shares of Common Stock.

          During the past sixty days,  there were no  transactions in the shares
of Common Stock, or securities  convertible  into or exchangeable  for shares of
Common Stock, by Vertical or any person or entity  controlled by Vertical or any
person or entity for which Vertical possesses voting control over the securities
thereof, except as described in this Schedule 13D.
