Compile (株式会社コンパイル), source said it’s at 1987 but not sure about it, but definedly before 1991.

Founder of Compile, Masamitsu Niitani

At that time Compile is still not a big company, they had published some titles and had some talent employees(the man who played piano is Masatomo Miyamoto, the composer of Lunar Pool), but still a start-up.

On 1991, they created Puyo Puyo and got huge success. Quickly raise the company to a frantically expanding giant beast, then Japanese asset price bubble blowed, and they were broke.
