Man, The Punisher on Sega Genesis is one of those classic arcade-style beat-em-ups that just feels right. You’re either Frank Castle or Nick Fury (yeah, that Nick Fury) smashing through waves of goons with punches, grabs, and the occasional gun pickup—because sometimes you just need to unload a clip into a crowd. The sprites are chunky and satisfying, and the levels throw everything from back alleys to pirate ships at you. It’s got that Capcom polish, so even when the screen’s packed with enemies, it never turns into a total mess. If you’ve played Final Fight or Streets of Rage, you’ll feel right at home here—just with more skulls on vests.

Also, pro tip: Nick’s got a slightly faster punch, but Frank’s got that raw power. Your call.
