  Haven’t been dabblin’ as much lately, as I’ve been consistently playing San Andreas. But I bought the new Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection yesterday because I can’t not buy a game with MvC2 on it. Anyway, included in the collection is The Punisher (Arcade, 1993), and I’d never played it, so I loaded it up out of curiosity and ended up playing that last night instead of San Andreas or MvC2.

  The Punisher is a classic beat em up. This game is just simple fun. Not much to it other than that. I love the cartoony visuals being paired with extreme violence and well animated blood. Not to mention the tremendously generically corny dialogue and story. If you had to encapsulate my love for 80s/90s corny action movies into an arcade game, it would be The Punisher for sure.
