The Punisher (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
272A playthrough of Capcom's 1994 beat 'em up arcade port for the Sega Genesis, The Punisher.
Played through on Expert difficulty with The Punisher.
I have really mixed feelings on this game. I've always loved the arcade version, but a lot of the flashy, tacky spectacle of the arcade's bombastic presentation has been pretty effectively neutered in paring it down for the Genesis. Most of the moves are here, though, and it still makes for a fun time. You'll probably notice I came very close to running out of continues at the end - I don't think the game could be finished on expert without going through at least a couple of lives. With the sheer number of waves of enemies at certain points, I doubt you'd be able to avoid being killed by the timer. Has anyone ever managed it, or am I really just that slow? Hahaha. Who knows, but I've spent a lot of time on this. Unless I'm utter rubbish at the game and somehow don't realize it, that is.
At least I got the best ending as a reward for my efforts (/SLIGHT sarcasm).
