We continue to follow the adventures (or misadventures?) of Takeo Ueyama (上山武夫) during the arcade industry Golden Age.
Part I is here.
A brief Summary
After briefly leading, Fuji Enterprise (フジ・エンタープライズ), RJ Corporation (アールジェイコーポレーション) and Mars Japan (マース・ジャパン), he found himself at the head of TIM (ティ・アイ・エム), a regional-scale distributor based in Tôkyô.
TIM quickly grew close to a promising company: Shin Nihon Kikaku (新日本企画), the future SNK. Together, they rode the wave generated by Space Invaders.
The two companies announced their merger in the press, but it remained just an announcement.
With the end of the Invader Boom and its alliance with Shin Nihon Kikaku, we can guess that TIM had to manage by alone to move its stock of Space Invaders games.

Alone? Really?
