Capcom Arcade Machines

Capcom was founded by Kenzo Tsujimoto. The name is derived from 'Capsule' and 'Computer'.

In space shuttle terminology, CAPCOM also stands for 'Capsule Communications'.They are responsible for most of the talking to the shuttle during the missions. They relay all the messages to and from the shuttle. It's a very important, very stressful position in the space flight system. (arcade-history)
