CAPCOM is the creating company of the Blue Bomber (Mega Man / Rock Man). I did some research and found this WIKI Article about the company. I did not know they did Resident Evil their highest grossing game. Mega Man 1 grossed almost 40 million copies alone.
I wanted to share this post my best friend and console collector of my game room did. He did an expose on the difference of covers between the U.S. and Japan. Well worth a read. He produced and designed my custom covers for Famicom and Game Boy which I’ll be showcasing in another post later this month.
I know we are just starting Mega Man month but I got some new, well used books in today. They were all so cheap the only one with damage was the yellow one the top of the spine is messed up pretty bad but it was only 6 bucks so I can’t really complain. I’ll be doing reviews of the books as I read / explore them. Being a former 10 year Art Director a couple books are technical art books. All were purchased used to save me quite a bit of money. They’ve been on my wish list since they came out and now they have been in circulation long enough to get them for good prices.
