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 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]]'' (the company's mascot since 1991) and ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]''.
