Released in 1993, The Punisher is a side-scrolling beat 'em up featuring the Marvel comic book character. The game remains one of my principal inspirations for the starting this channel in the first place and also has the honour of being the game that inspired me (somewhat foolishly), to pay £130 for an X-Arcade stick just to play it with!
Despite recording two separate longplays in the past, I wasn't happy with either video thanks to low resolution/encoding quality, so I was happy to dust the game off to record it for, what I hope, is the definitive version!
The game sees The Punisher continuing his quest for vengeance against the mob, before switching his attention to super-villain, Kingpin. The game is an out and out brawl-fest set across six levels of side-scrolling action where one player controls Punisher and a second player takes control of S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Nick Fury.
The game's combat is tremendously satisfying and is probably the best of any game in the genre that I've played. Tapping the attack button unleashes a flurry of punches and kicks that can be chained together to form devastating combinations that send enemies flying across the screen. Fleshing out the move roster are grapples, throws and pile-drivers, as well as a number of evasive/defensive moves.
This is a game that keeps you constantly on your toes thanks to the large number of foes on screen, all of which will attack you from all angles. One of the great things about the game's fighting mechanics is it's perfectly possible to chain together some punches on enemies in front of you, before switching directions and continuing the combo chain on enemies approaching from behind. Similarly, it's possible to grab an enemy and change the direction you intend to throw them right up until the final moment.
The Punisher fists are deadly weapons in their own right, but there's an entire arsenal of weapons to pick up and use against your foes. Such implements of pain include baseball bats, knives, katanas, battle axes and number of firearms.
On the subject of firearms, the game will change things up periodically by throwing waves of gun-toting goons in the Punisher's way. Whenever faced by gun-wielding foes, the Punisher whips out a hand-gun that allows him to unleash hot lead as fast as the player can hit the attack button. Any melee enemies on screen can also be shot, so a good tactic is to kill these guys before taking out those packing heat.
Although it doesn't feature gallons of gore like Mortal Kombat, there is a surprisingly dark under-tone to the game (in keeping with the actual comic book character). Following the defeat of the first boss, the Punisher shoots him in the face once he's finished interrogating him, rather than letting him go (or putting him in jail).
If I have one complaint, it's that some of the boss fights are rather protracted. The boss droids in particular are quite long-winded, thanks to the fact they will knock the Punisher down if he stands too close to them for too long.
Visually, this is one of the best-looking arcade games from the early 90's. All of the sprites are highly detailed and boast impressively fluid animations - even today, the game looks absolutely stunning.
The audio, too, is equally impressive. Capcom's CPS hardware truly raised the bar in terms of music and sound effects found in a lot of arcade games and still sound fantastic today. Every punch and kick connects with a satisfying crunch, sure to make every player cackle with glee as they bring justice to each and every hapless thug on-screen.
Offering some of the best co-operative (and single player) fighting the genre has to offer, The Punisher remains a great arcade title that I strongly urge you to play, should you get the chance.

The Punisher Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]: Unleash Hell against crime in one of the best beat 'em ups ever made!
Read the video description for my review!
That izuna drop on the kingpin.... Nooice!!!👊
YIAAAAA!!!!
I always loved this game
Nice longplay! I was actually looking for some other beat em up game but this was also fun to watch. It was over 20 years ago when I played this other game (that I mentioned), remembering very little of it. It was for 1-2 players and same view as in "The Punisher" and two fighting soldiers with head bandages and big bosses like Kingpin was. Maybe I´ll find it some day.
Great games in arcade
One batch, two batch, Penny and dime...
WTF does he say when he does his super move?
I was hoping someone would know. I always heard “tiger move” but it didn’t make sense.

Its a damned shame that both this and AvP Arcade were never ported over back in the day. I dont even think they are on the virtual consoles nowadays either.
I guess there's a whole issue of licensing and who owns the rights 😐
This was ported to the Mega Drive. ?v=fnA-fOd5ZHQ
You’d have to ask Disney, as they own Marvel Comics and 20th Century Fox (now Studios.) But they and Capcom have had a great relationship dating back to the 80’s, so who knows?
It was ported.
The MegaDrive port is terrible in comparison to this.
But, you can get this by emulation on MAME, I have this on my Anbernic handheld. Plus many other arcade games. They run beautifully too!
The Battle
Birdman VS Cat (Stage 1)
Birdman VS Rabbit (Stage 2)
Birdman VS Demon (Stage 4)
Birdman VS Black (Stage 5)
Birdman VS Baby (Stage 6 Win)
Not very thorough on smashing all the items on screen, that was always part of the fun!

Donde se descarga pues?
Put your tv in 4.3 mode for optimal viewing :0)
An interesting thing with a number of the Capcom games I've done is they tend to use a 12:7 aspect ratio (384 x 224 resolution). It's much closer to widescreen than the 4:3 format so many of us were used to for TV back then.
