The game play in this one was pretty basic. You are Frank Castle and you go around town shooting bad guys. I had fun stepping into the Punisher's shoes for this title and remember calling Paragon Software's customer service one day where the lady on the phone told me that they were planning on doing a game starring the Hulk. Alas, it never came to be.

XGIII: Extreme G Racing
XGIII: Extreme G RacingXGIII: Extreme G Racing is a futuristic racing game. Six teams are competing to win a racing championship, the player taking control of any of the two riders available in each team. The game retains the action elements of the previous titles: as before, opponents will try to sabotage the race, and the player-controlled character is able to answer them with his own arsenal of weapons. Unlike the previous installments, weapons cannot be picked up on the road: the player has to purchase them with the money earned after a successful race. All weapons now deplete the player's weapon bar with each shot. Another change is the absence of the "nitro" boosts utilized in the previous entries; they have been replaced with a turbo system, where using the boost drains energy from the player character's shields.
