Do you?
This is my video about the history of Irem, which is a company that has gone through several iterations. From IPM to Irem Corporation with two different abbreviation meanings, to Irem Software Engineering, to Granzella(although Irem still exists they only do Pachinko now). Several important figures passed through Irem including its founder Kenzo Tsujimoto who later founded Capcom, future Platinum Games chief Atsushi Inaba, Takashi Nishiyama who created Street Fighter and King of Fighters, and Kazuma Kujo who made Metal Slug along with others like AKIO and who is also responsible for Disaster Report and Steambot Chronicles.
Irem made both some great platformers and shooters, and some interesting 3D games too.
