IREM

Software House

Japanese video game developer best known for arcade and console titles such as Hammerin' Harry and R-Type.

IREM is a Japanese video game developer known for arcade and home-console titles. Publicly known for creating games such as Hammerin' Harry and the R-Type series, the company has produced arcade, shoot 'em up and platform games.

The available review remembers Hammerin' Harry as a humorous, original and very difficult platformer set against construction-site enemies. The reviewer treats the game with affectionate nostalgia, mentioning distinctive power-ups (sushi, helmet, blue underpants, chili, the Pow hammer) and the irritating start cue "Let's get busy!". The piece mixes gameplay detail with 1990-era cultural references.

For:Retro gamers; fans of arcade/platformer games; nostalgia seekers.

 Irem, a largely forgotten video game production company, creates a fun little game featuring a humorous Japanese character.
