- Irem is a Japanese video game console developer and publisher, and formerly a developer and manufacturer of arcade games as well. They are probably best known for the famous scrolling shooter R-Type and the earliest beat 'em up, Kung-Fu Master. They have been a popular developer in Japan with games like Photoboy for the PC Engine and In the Hunt for the Sega Saturn. Irem was founded in 1974 under the name IPM. Its purpose was to manufacture, sell, and rent arcade hardware cabinets. IPM released its first video arcade games in 1978. In 1979, IPM changed its name to Irem Corporation. Originally an abbreviation for "International Rental Electronics Machines", the meaning of Irem's acronym was changed to "Innovations in Recreational Electronic Media" in the first half of the 1980s. As Irem entered the 1990s, the corporation began to decline. Sales were so poor that in 1994, Irem completely ceased development of video games. The company's original wholesale division, which was in charge of manufacturing and renting/selling arcade cabinets, spun off from Irem to form its own company called Apies; leaving Irem with only the video game division. Then a group of employees, tired of the company's inactivity, left Irem to form their own company under the name Nazca Corporation (creator of the Metal Slug series). On April 15, 1997, Nanao founded Irem Software Engineering Inc. Shortly after in July 1997, Irem Software Engineering took over the development department of Irem Corporation and absorbed it. The publishing department of Irem Corporation, on the other hand, became under the direct control of Nanao who then sold it to none other than Apies in 1998. Irem now develops and publishes games in Japan exclusively for the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation 3 and the PSP. Overall, the video game development department is the only remnant of the former Irem Corporation which is still associated with the brand. Irem is currently working on Bumpy Trot 2, a sequel to the first Bumpy Trot (or as it's known in the west; Steambot Chronicles). Irem Software Engineering is headquartered in Hakusan. It is a wholly owned subsdiary of Eizo Nanao Corporation.

Es hat auch das erste horizontale Beat 'em up, Kung-Fu Master, entwickelt. Es wurden hauptsächlich Arcade-Spiele in den frühen 1980er Jahren entwickelt, später an andere Unternehmen lizenziert. Die Gesellschaft wurde mehrmals umbenannt und heißt heute Irem Software Engineering Inc. (vollständige Tochter der Eizo Nanao Corporation) mit Sitz in Hakusan und hat 100 Mitarbeiter. IREM war zunächst die Abkürzung für International Rental Electronics Machines, die Bedeutung wurde Anfang der 80er Jahre in Innovations in Recreational Electronic Media verändert. Heute stellt Irem Spiele für die Playstation 2 und Playstation 3 her.
