Are you bored at work? Do you want to take a break from studying in the library? Capcom has the right thing prepared for you.
Capcom is celebrating its 40th anniversary by creating a special website called Capcom Town, which offers an interactive way for people to know more about the brand’s history since it was established by Kenzo Tsujimoto on June 11, 1983.

Of course, the main attraction is the games themselves. A lot of the brand’s classic titles are here, where visitors can gain access to some development design, behind-the-scenes artwork, actual images of the manual and cartridges, and more. It’s essentially a museum for Capcom fans.
But probably the most interesting feature of the website is the emulators where you can play classic titles like Street Fighter II, Mega Man X, and Final Fight using your browser. All games are available in English and Japanese versions.
For full nostalgia, you can plug a controller into your computer to play them. But if you don’t have access to one, you can use the keyboard that comes with your PC or Mac. The keymapping might get some time to get used to, but they are actually quite easy to remember or you can remap them depending on your preference.
To start playing, visit the website here: https://captown.capcom.com/en and go to the Retro Games section.
