Capcom 40th Anniversary Website Lets You Play Retro Games For Free
Capcom has launched the Capcom Town website to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
It features playable retro games, development documents, and countless callbacks to the company’s rich history.
Since its founding on June 11 1983, Capcom has gone on to create some of the most beloved, iconic, and formative franchises in video game history, including the Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter series.
The newly-created website lets you click around a delightfully-animated metropolis made up of a colourful range of districts highlighting famous locations and scenes from Capcom’s history. Jill Valentine can be seen chased through the streets by Nemesis, while characters from Capcom’s SonSon series can be seen drifting above the cityscape on a magical cloud.
Users can click on locations marked by a pin to visit key attractions, including Merch Factory where visitors can download digital items such as Twitter icons. The newfound digital city also features a virtual museum containing a development history of the company, along with original artwork, development documents, videos, and music from classic and modern games alike.
Happy Monday everyone! We've just launched Capcom Town, our 40th anniversary website!Come visit and discover lots of cool content, including free retro games and game development documents from past titles!
