Emerald Software Ltd.
From If It Moves, Shoot It!'s manual, circa 1989:
Emerald Software was founded in early 1988 with financial support from the Irish government. Based in Waterford (home of the world famous crystal), the company has rapidly established itself as a leading computer games development house in Europe.
The workforce includes 17 programmers and five graphic artists. Of course, being dedicated computer gamers, there is not much time for hobbies outside of work -- except for that other famous Irish pastime. Which means that the bars of Waterford hear rather more talk of computer games than they did before the arrival of Emerald Software!

Epyx, Inc.
Automated Simulations was co-founded by Jon Freeman and Jim Conelley. The company was more of a strategy game developer and publisher at the time, going by the Company motto "Computer Games Thinkers Play." Most of their products were developed for Computers, most importantly the Apple II computer. In 1981, the company was much larger and "office politics" drove Jon Freeman out of the company, and he left to found Free Fall Associates with his wife, Anne Westfall. It was at this time that Jim Conelley also left and started his own company, The Conelley Group which was more of a game developing company, and they let Epyx publish the games they developed.
