Hack description

The Punisher – Final Payback is a mod of The Punisher for NES. Its purpose is to ease the high level of difficulty to allow for casual play while still maintaining a degree of challenge.

Changes Made:
*Health Pickups give back more health
*Ammo pickups give much more ammo
*Punisher moves much faster across the screen when holding a pistol or machine gun (wielding a Bazooka will understandably slow Frank down.)

Patching details can be found in the readme.

Feels more strategicWolfie2024-06-22Version 1.0

The added speed to strafing makes the game feel more strategic when deciding when to dodge enemy gunfire and when to shoot. The vanilla game has such a slow strafing speed that it feels like the best strategy is often to soak up bullets and focus on firing back. This hack gives the feeling that I am playing a fuller game with more of a point to using the dodging mechanic.
