	Games - Capcom Generations

Capcom Generations (Japanese title: カプコンジェネレーション Capcom Generation in singular form) is a series of five video game compilations released by Capcom in 1998 for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn in Japan and Europe. Each volume contains three or four games from a particular series or niche and were ported directly from their original arcade versions (with the exception of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, which was originally an SNES game). Each disc also contains a "collection mode" featuring history, tips, artwork, character profiles, arranged music (which can be enabled on the game themselves as well) and other unlockable contents for each game. The PlayStation versions of the games also featured support for the Dual Shock controller.

The five Capcom Generations titles were released individually in Japan, while the first four volumes were sold as a bundle in Europe. The fifth volume (which focused on the Street Fighter series) was released separately (without any ties to the Capcom Generations series) in Europe and was the only volume in the series released in North America. The 16 games in the series were later collected in the Capcom Classics Collection based on their Capcom Generations versions.
