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!
