Play Punisher, The (Europe) Online
You smash through docks and alleys as The Punisher, juggling goons with punches and shotgun blasts—until you run dry and fists take over. That shotgun feels unfair until it clicks empty and the crowd closes in.
Capcom released The Punisher for the Sega Genesis in 1994, a time when licensed beat 'em ups were common but not always memorable. Based on the Marvel comic, it stood out for its straightforward action and solid controls, fitting right in with the platform's library of side-scrolling brawlers.
You control Frank Castle, moving screen by screen through urban environments, clearing out thugs with punches, kicks, and occasional firearms like pistols and shotguns. The main goal is to rescue hostages and defeat bosses across several stages, using mechanics such as grabbing enemies as human shields and executing special moves when your rage meter fills. The pacing is fast, with moderate difficulty that spikes during crowded enemy encounters. It feels satisfying to plow through waves of foes with a mix of melee and ranged attacks.
