Synopsis

In the game's intro, U.S. Marine Captain Frank Castle is enjoying a picnic with his family in Central Park, when they accidentally discover a mob killing. Fearing any witnesses, the killers gun down the family. To avenge them, and all others like them, Frank becomes the vigilante hero The Punisher. The game begins in an illegal casino and the streets of the New York City, with The Punisher (joined by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury in a two player game) in pursuit of the Mafia enforcer Bruno Costa who ordered the killing of Castle's family. The chase ends with a fight against Chester Scully (a minor villain from the comics). Frank "interrogates" Scully, gets the information he needs, and then promptly shoots him. Still on Bruno's track, the Punisher infiltrates the mob's Pantaberde resort in Florida via a water duct. He breaks into a hotel and corners Bruno, who is suddenly killed by a robot called Guardroid. This new enemy tells Frank that the Kingpin has programmed him to terminate him, and a battle between the Punisher and the robot ensues.

The Punisher then raids a major drug-smuggling ring at the local harbor, which ends with him confronting Bonebreaker in a waterfront warehouse. After that, the Punisher attacks the Kingpin's poppy field at a cave in Arizona. The Punisher boards and destroys a freight train which is commanded by Bushwhacker.

At that point, the Kingpin decides that he has lost enough henchmen and money to the Punisher's actions. He puts a hefty contract out on him, and he is chased by assassins from his hideout and through a forest. After defeating another Guardroid, the Punisher assaults the King skyscraper building. He fights his way through Jigsaw and other enemies to the final showdown against the Kingpin himself. After the Kingpin is defeated, the entire tower collapses, but the Kingpin is not to be found among the many dead criminals lying in the rubble.

Notes

  • The Punisher is a 1993 arcade game released by Capcom which stars the Marvel Comics anti-hero, The Punisher, and co-starring Nick Fury as the second player's character. It is a beat 'em up where Punisher and Fury are on a mission to thwart the crime lord Kingpin, engaging on various foes and final bosses mostly in a hand-to-hand combat.
