Capcom Coin-Op, a subsidiary of Capcom USA, operated as a pinball manufacturer from June 1995 to December 1996 with bases in Sunnyvale, California and Arlington Heights, Illinois. The company’s inception in 1993 was a collaborative effort between Capcom of Japan and Capcom USA with Romstar to form Game Star. Intent on producing high-quality pinball machines, Capcom strategically recruited industry veterans, which led to legal disputes with competitor Williams Electronics over non-compete clauses. Despite launching several pinball machines during its operation, Capcom faced challenges with declining sales in a cooling pinball market. This resulted in the decision to cease all pinball production by the end of 1996.
