sorry to bump this one page but this deserves correction:

 

Capcom comes from Capsule Computer. That's all I know...

 

The phrase "CapCom" actually dates back to 1961, when it was the title assigned by NASA to the Capsule Communicator (get it?) who was in charge of talking directly to the first astronauts while they were in orbit. although it did become "capsule computer" over the years i believe Capcom chose their company name after the NASA guys.

All SNK games before the Neo Geo were coin-ops on SNK made hardware. Some have been converted for home computers and consoles but these were usually done by other companies (Ocean etcetera) (in the Neo-Geo days, Takara).

 

Just get MAME. I recommend Lasso, Beast Busters (and Mechanized Attack), Athena, Joyful Road and Psycho Soldier. :)

 

Also, it's from 'Japan Capsule Computers' in the case of Capcom and it doesn't really have anything to do with NASA...
