Iwasaki Electronics Co., Ltd. (岩崎技研工業株式会社; Iwasaki Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd.; formerly Iwasaki Engineering Co., Ltd. in English) was a Kyoto-based company known primarily for making software development tools such as in-circuit emulators. Hiroji Iwasaki was the president. [1] [2] It may have shut down around 2000. [3]
Iwasaki was contracted by Nintendo to reverse engineer the arcade game Donkey Kong so the latter could produce the sequel Donkey Kong Junior.
