There's not a lot of Spawn games out there. And there's no Spawn PC games at all. What there is though, is a Japanese exclusive Windows 95 CD-ROM. And it's magical. A pure promotional tool, I couldn’t figure out why this is Japanese-only. None of the products are exclusive to Japan, and they all seem to be English-language. Japan had a big prestige format art book called Spawn Action Figure Collection, so toy collectors were clearly the keystone to Spawn’s success in Japan. This Windows 95 CD-ROM seems to be an extension of that.

For those of you who are curious to experience this for yourself, the disc has been ripped and uploaded to archive.org so this particular little gem won’t get lost to time. https://archive.org/details/spawncoll...
