The game involves climbing a sky scraper, rescuing hostages and defusing bombs set by the Green Goblin.The 1990′s saw a flood of Spider-Man Video Games.The first game of the decade released was The Amazing Spider-Man, a puzzle action game released Amiga, PC:DOS, Commodore 64, and Atari ST. Another game, also titled “The Amazing Spider-Man” was released in 1990 for the Gameboy. The Gameboy titles spawned two sequels, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Invasion of the Spider-Slayers In 1991 Sega released the first Spider-Man arcade game titled “Spider-Man: The Video Game”. Sega also released The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin the same year. The Nintendo Home consoles were late to the Spider-Man party, but they saw many Spider-Man titles themselves. The first was Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six, released in 1992. Which is considered one of the worst Spider-Man games of all time. Not all Spider-Man titles followed original story lines. In 1994 Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage was a released for the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. The game closely followed the Maximum Carnage Story Arch that was present in all of the Spider-Man titles. 1995 gave us Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety, which was released on The Sega Genesis, The Super Nintendo and the PC. That same year, Spider-Man: The Animated Series was released for The Genesis and the Super Nintendo; it followed the storyline of the series, with most of the characters being represented the way they were in the cartoon. The next Spider-Man game, Spider-Man:Web of Fire, was released for the Sega 32X. This game is one of the most rare and valuable Spider-Man games to date. For the next couple of years, no game completely dedicated to Spider-Man was released. He did however star in Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems and the Marvel vs Capcom series. Not until 2000 would Spider-Man return in his own game.
