THE PUNISHER ARCADE GAME
In 1993, Capcom produced a Punisher arcade game. The game was of the beat ‘em up genre and was a very good example of this. Below are various screenshots from the game and photos of the machine, with text from a flyer publicising the game:
THE PUNISHER IS GUNNING FOR PROFITS
The Punisher from Capcom serves up double barrel earnings. Based on Marvel Comics’ long-running comic book, The Punisher game is sure to be a smash with players. Millions have read The Punisher comic over the years. Now, they can be The Punisher. Incredible action and super graphics will keep players dropping the bad guys. While money falls in your cash box.
HE’S PLAYING FOR KEEPS
Together with Special Agent Nick Fury of SHIELD, The Punisher is out to avenge the deaths of his family. And he’ll stop at nothing! Six levels of action challenge players at every turn. And each level features a famous Marvel Comics villain from Bushwacker to Jigsaw to the super evil Kingpin. Players can choose either character, or team up to double their fun. The Punisher is designed to keep players coming back for more. There’s always something new, always something exciting waiting around the next corner.
HE’S A REAL LETHAL WEAPON
The Punisher keeps players interest by giving them hundreds of ways to score. His arsenal includes an Uzi, a flamethrower, grenades, M-14s and more! Even the background furniture becomes a weapon when placed in the hands of The Punisher. Food and extra weapons are hidden along the way to help extend players life and keep players on the go. Both The Punisher and Nick Fury have been given dozens of moves - flying kicks, punches, throws - that score points and make the action even more fierce.
A SUPER HERO, A SUPER OPPORTUNITY
The Punisher game cabinet features the art Marvel Comics is famous for. It’s been designed by Marvel artists to really stand out in the arcades. The Punisher features the super graphics that have made Capcom a video leader. And an all original stereo soundtrack makes The Punisher sound as awesome as it looks.
Why not make The Punisher part of your home today? Call your local Capcom distributor to sign him up. But hurry, because when this guy gets impatient there’s no telling what might happen.”
