Compile Corporation (株式会社コンパイル, Kabushikigaisha Konpairu) was a Japanese video game developer, most notable for having developed the Puyo Puyo series, a franchise derived from the Madō Monogatari series.

The object of the game is to create groups of four or more "Puyos" of the same color as they fall from the top of the screen.

Puyo Puyo reached North America and the PAL region in graphically altered form under the title of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, as well as on the Super NES (as Kirby's Avalanche in North America and Kirby's Ghost Trap in the PAL region).

Some employees who stayed with Compile until its end reincorporated as MileStone Inc. in April 2003, and continued to develop new shooters.

Some of Compile's shoot-'em-up games include: First released on the MSX computer in 1986, Zanac combined fast action with an AI system, which changes based on your style of play.

Similar to Konami's own Parodius games, Gun-Nac brought humor to the gameplay of the original by replacing the enemies with carrot-throwing rabbits and letting the player purchase weapons in a fast food store at the end of each stage.

Gunhed (retitled Blazing Lazers for North America) was released in 1989 and became a showpiece for NEC's PC Engine console.
