About The Punisher
Capcom's The Punisher (1993) is a beat 'em up based on the Marvel comic. Frank Castle – the Punisher – and Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. team up to bring down the Kingpin, the crime lord who controls the city. It plays like a classic Capcom brawler, but with a darker, comic-book style and a lot more firepower.
What makes it special
- Guns appear in context: in certain moments the heroes draw their pistols automatically, and you can pick up machine guns, flamethrowers and other weapons from fallen enemies.
- Grenades clear groups of enemies.
- Comic-book presentation, with story panels between stages and a cast of Marvel villains as bosses.
- Two-player co-op, Punisher and Fury side by side.
Tips
- Save grenades for crowds and bosses.
- Pick up every weapon – most have limited uses, so use them quickly.
- The Punisher and Nick Fury play almost the same; pick the one you like.
