Irem Zoo
Folks who know R Type will know that the maker is Irem. Irem recently announced that they are pulling out of the gaming industry and have opened a zoo as you can see from their official site.
I personally think this is good news and that it wasn't very nice of Irem to make a game like R Type where you loose *All* your weapons when you was hit - even before the boss stages.
