Punching Bag is a 1962 electro-mechanical punching bag arcade game. The object of the game is to punch the bag as hard as possible.
Like other early Sega EM games, it is similar to other machines, such as Mill's 1900 Punching Bag and Bag Puncher, Mutoscope's 1910 Deliver the Punch/Punch a Bag, and Exhibit Supply's 1941 Punch the Bag.
