The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback!, released in 1991 by Acclaim Entertainment, is the Game Boy version of the 1990 NES on-rail shooter game The Punisher. Main character Frank Castle uses machine gun, grenades and rocket launcher to shoot villains. The game is 5 levels long, and each of them ends with a boss.
  • 1. The Mall (Kingpin)
    • At the end of the level, I killed innocent civilians to make the boss appear as soon as possible, despite losing 1 life. Of course, Spidey called the Punisher the worst turkey, but it was worth it.
  • 2. The Docks (War Ship)
    • To destroy the ship, I used a machine gun and 2 available rockets, which are more powerful and have wider area damage.
  • 3. The Airport (Helicopter)
    • Here also was used a machine gun and rocket launcher to destroy parts of the helicopter offscreen.
  • 4. The Jungle (Hitman?)
    • Was alternating machine guns and grenades to kill the boss and his guards.
  • 5. The Cave (Jigsaw)
    • Killed Jigsaw with a machine gun and grenades so fast that he could not even grab better weapons from the floor.
Here is alternate input file to help guide through the ending sequence, for the completion of the movie. If it is more suitable, you can use as main movie file.
nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Re-uploading the movie file to correct the cycle count.
nymx: Well, this is basically an auto-scroller; however, the ending of each area makes for a good showing. In this run, XTREMAL93 quickly puts the bosses in their place. Most of them are won by big margins, but a couple of them are won by very little over the WR of . In total, it seems you have about 1 minute and 10 seconds of an advantage...making this a really good TAS. Congratulations!
Accepting.

It turns out that there's a high score list you can put your name in at the end of the game. Is there any name in particular that you want inputted in this list? The name can be up to six characters long. This is just for publishing purposes. edit: I just noticed your alternate input file, but perhaps you prefer a name other than "AAAAAA"? I can do that for you. Again, this is just for publishing purposes.
