[[File:
[[Capcom]] is a leading third-party game developer that got its start in 1979 as a publisher of electronic games. In 1984, Capcom (originally the name Capcom was a contracted form of its official name at the time, Japan '''Cap'''sule '''Com'''puters) released its first arcade game, a scrolling shooter entitled ''Vulgus''. They would go on to make several more shooters like that, including the famed ''19XX'' series, before hitting it big with games like ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' (the company's mascot since 1991) and ''[[Street Fighter II]]''.

Not to be confused with {{smallcaps|CAPCOM}} ("capsule communicator", later renamed "spacecraft communicator"), the ground-side astronaut at NASA who communicates directly with the crew of a spacecraft in orbit.
