Legendary game, this is one of the best superhero games ever made. Story, music, gameplay all was PEAK. Style similar to Punisher MAX run really sold me on playing this game as a teen.

As a gamer with ADHD I always struggled to finish a game and hold my attention but this game holds a special place in my heart because it was the first game that I was able to complete 100% through and unlocked a lifetime obsession with the character.

Love the Punisher and I love this game. The brutality is a bright spot for people who want to play a mature video game. The game takes you on quite a ride where you are in various intriguing environments and encounter other Marvel characters. I would prefer not to have to hack my way around a game and would be willing to pay for it again in order to play it again safely. Thank you for listening GOG!

Aw man, this is my favourite comic book game. The way you try to get info my a goon is insane. The gameplay is fun & Frank is unstoppable & I wanna replay this game again if it gets remastered.
This is a fantastic superhero game. The GORE. The BLOOD. It game-izes The Punisher like nothing else. This is an important game in the history of superhero adaptations and deserves to be played.

Low key one of the best experiences I've had playing a video game. Using human shields, then disposing of them by throwing them away like chop liver. Its a brutal game and it would only be proper to release this game legit into the wild.

I briefly been around this Punisher game. My cousin brought this game over. Me and my cousin played this for a little while on PlayStation 2. I don't think I got to this game. As a huge Punisher fan, it would mean a lot to me. Also considering Volition who made Saints Row series behind it. Most agrees the best Punisher game ever made!!! A lot of people surprisingly missed out on this game. In fact, I'm sure if it were to become available on GOG. A lot of people going to buy the hell out of this. The Punisher was a rather unexpected licensed game for it's time. I personally waiting a long time to finally play this myself. I seen enough of the game play, when do we punish the bad guys?

I saw a neighbor in 2005 playing this game and I immediately fell in love, I went with my father to a local game store, I was about 9-10 years old, the seller asked if it was too early for me to play such games? but I replied that I had already played GTA and postal 2 and the game was sold to us, I can't count how many times I went through it, for many years I waited for a sequel or remake, but all in vain, and I still have the tradition of going through this game every year.

I played this on OG XBox back in the day and it's one of the best representations of the character in any media. I miss this and hope to play it again someday.
One of the top games of my youth, and probably my introduction to more "realistic" and gritty heroes like Punisher. For my money this is one of the better comic book games ever made. Great thematic soundtrack, great voice performance especially by Thomas Jane and some fantastic level variety, along with the iconic interrogations and kills. Even when I was a kid and get sidetracked doing anything, I managed to play this game back to front tons of times. It'd be great to have a legit and safe playable version on a modern platform, especially if they can get rid of the violence censorship that was going rampant back in the early 2000s.

Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition
Kentucky Route Zero: TV EditionKentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it. Gameplay is inspired by point-and-click adventure games (like the classic Monkey Island or King's Quest series, or more recently Telltale's Walking Dead series), but focused on characterization, atmosphere and storytelling rather than clever puzzles or challenges of skill. The game is developed by Cardboard Computer (Jake Elliott, Tamas Kemenczy, and Ben Babbitt), and features an original electronic score by Ben Babbitt along with a suite of old hymns & bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.

Knight Rider 2: The Game
Knight Rider 2: The GameIn the sequel to Knight Rider: The Game, Michael and KITT are targeted by a missile attack while driving back to the foundation. They barely survive and set up a meeting with the base. On their way home however, they notice unusual black marks in demolished villages, and decide to investigate. All missions have the player control KITT, who has now been equipped with three weapons: a lock-on laser, a plasma gun, and missiles. There is also turbo boost to jump over obstacles, micro jam to scan items and recharge, the ski mode to drive on two wheels through narrow passages, super pursuit mode for faster speed, and a shield to block incoming attacks. When damaged or running low on energy, certain functions are disabled. The different missions are linked by sequences where the story is further explained using the in-game engine. Many familiar characters from the tv series make an appearance, such as Bonnie, Devon, Garth and KARR. Missions either focus on racing or exploration. In the first type, the player mainly evades attacks while racing on a highway. The latter has the player drive inside closed areas, maneuvering through passages and fighting robots. There are also a few puzzle elements where the player has to locate terminals, shoot an object in the environment, or find enemies' weaknesses. When a stunt is performed, the action slows down and the camera switches to a spectacular angle. Next to the main story mode, the individual missions can be replayed in the mission mode. The player can also unlock TV scenes, view background information about the series, or do a quiz.
