Going into the busy holiday shopping season, Arcade1up’s major comic book video game offering this fall was once limited to their X-Men cabinet which includes the classic arcade game, Captain America and the Avengers, and Avengers in Galactic Storm. Now the maker of home cabinets have a few more units to add to their catalog…
During the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show, CES for short, Arcade1up announced their new line of cabinets, and easily the most exciting reveal was the return of Konami’s beloved arcade game, X-Men. Not only does the unit include the classic brawler, but also Data East’s Captain America and the Avengers, a game not seen since the…
Arcade 1UP, a division of Tastemakers LLC that produces affordable, arcade cabinets with pre-loaded games sized for the home, has seemingly done the impossible with two of their upcoming releases. Announced just today at E3, a cabinet housing Capcom’s The Punisher, X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes joins another that will have Konami’s…
Both Marvel and DC have dipped their toes into the VR space with the likes of Batrman: Arkham VR, Marvel Powers United VR and the upcoming Marvel’s Iron Man VR. In his latest video Diego Rivera discusses the characters he would like to see get brought into the medium. Watch the video below, and leave a comment on what characters…
I’ve stated in the past that one of the sure ways to make a great comic book game is to marry a particular license to a pre-existing game franchise that just simply fits: Batman Begins for example is simply Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell with a Batman skin; Batman: Arkham Asylum and Acclaim’s Shadow Man have a lot in common with Nintendo’s Metroid Franchise and THQ’s The Punisher, the…
Today’s the day that Daredevil returns to Netflix for its second season and I like many, couldn’t be more excited. Not only do we get to binge watch another thirteen episodes starring the Man Without Fear, but we also get to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut for two characters: Elektra and The Punisher. Last…
The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback! plays nearly identically to its counterpart on the NES, and in fact comes from the same developer, Beam Software.

Man, that cover, just…wow. The Punisher looks like he’s going to jump off the box and swallow you whole. Before I get into talking about this game, I’m going to lay out some things. This game is a conversion of an arcade game, however growing up, I didn’t have a local arcade, the closest was…
