I love Capcom. The videogame company became an indelible part of my early years when Final Fight blew me away in the arcades in the 80s. The huge sprites and colourful cast of characters was always a highlight when picking up uncles and aunties from Heathrow Airport, which had a pretty impressive arcade machine collection back in the day. When Street Fighter 2 launched five years later in 1994, it changed the videogame industry forever. Since then its been pretty much on the mark- except the Asura’s Wrath DLC which showed the ending of the game… and maybe Resi 5 and the constantly poor Resident Evil movies and (stop it!- ed.)

Okay, you get the idea; it’s a legendary company with a remarkable success rate with some of the most recognisable successful IP. To celebrate its 40 amazing years in the industry, its created Capcom Town: a place where you can explore the history of this venerable Japanese institute. It’s full of artwork, information and retro games that you can play in-browser. It’s an amazing free resources!
