The first Spider Man game to appear on the Sega Genesis and one of the earlier Sega games in general. It was a major hit when it came out and was the first time the character was accurately portrayed in a video game with full access to all his super powers such as web slinging, wall crawling and spider-sense. I ran across this game many years ago in a second-hand store and got it for $2 and I honestly wasn't that enthralled with it. I found the controls to be rather stiff and the difficulty pretty unbalanced. I did eventually finish the game many years later and for me personally it stands as one of the most difficult Spider Man games to finish that I know of...second only to say Spider Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. While I still find the game to be very very hard to complete and the controls clunky in spots, its actually a pretty decent representation of Spider Man for the time. The mechanic of taking pictures of the numerous villains to sell to the Daily Bugle for money to replenish your web-cartridges was a very nice nod to the comics and the notion of Peter Parker as a struggling college student. Having to utilize several villains' weaknesses (Sandman's weakness to water, not standing on metal while fighting Electo etc.) was also a nice touch and added to the gameplay experience. While it is a very difficult and unforgiving game in spots (the battle with Kingpin is stressful as all hell) it is a worthy Spider Man game and there are certainly worse Spider Man games out there. Just lots of patience and some extra spidey-sense may be required! Thanks for watching!


Hope you enjoy!
