"Parker shut up and dial 911" is still one of the funniest lines ever, he had a chance to call the police on his own, but calls Peter to tell him to call the police lol

Lowkey this is a horror game. Was holding my nuts playing this when I was a kid. Was almost about to pee myself in the Bugle level.

33:58 I love this part. Black Cat willing to take rhino on her own because she understands that Peter’s wife is in danger. Spider-Man understanding that the city comes before his needs. This is a very underrated moment imo.

I freaking love venom in this game he feels like he’s been ripped right out the comics around this time. He’s crazy and brutish but he’s got a good moral compass and a sense of humor.

I love Venom's design, specially how much his blue color pops. I also love his symbiote animations while he is moving or idling. Guaranteed top-3 Spider-Man game.

I would love to see Enter Electro. The development of that game plus the timing of 9/11 happening just as that game was coming out causing them to have to redo several levels is absolutely fascinating. As for this game, it was the first game I ever beat as a kid so it holds special meaning in my heart.

Reasons why I want a remake: Great, straightforward game with cool boss fights. Reason why I don't want a remake: HD Monster-Ock. That would be a hell of a nightmare fuel!

My first videogame ever. The nostalgia is utterly unbearable. My life's main hobby, my college studies, and hopefully career were sparked by this game introducing me to this medium.

This was my first Spider-Man anything. I was five in 2000, never read a comic, the movies weren't out for another two years, and I never saw an episode of the animated series. But I played the demo on the Holiday '99 demo disc when I was 4 and was excited and got it near launch in August 2000.

The What If hostage lines are Aliens references I believe. “Game over, man! Game over” is a direct quote from Hudson (played by Bill Paxton) and “Kill me. Please kill me” is said by a marine they found just before a xenomorph bursts from her chest

Nostalgia just hit me like a truck!! No joke; this one of the very first video games I've ever played in my life! I'm so glad you finally made a retrospective on it!

This came out 23 years ago & was my favourite ps1 game, the nostalgia is unreal.

It’s sad we never got an uncompressed version of the full soundtrack since this type of music works so well with the character, there are 3 songs that are uncompressed out there and they sound so amazing. (Those being police chopper chase, the mysterio theme, and spidey vs venom again aka the exposition).

This is the game that got me into Marvel at all. It has a special place in my heart.

48:21 this entire section right here is one of the main reasons why I fell in love with Spider-Man and Venom if only a lot more stories were like this, but I also understand having him as a villain, and what that entails. God, the dialogue in this game is so good compared to what we get now with a lot of these games what happened?

58:20 Cpt. Jennings! That's the captain of the cruise ship from THPS3! What a crazy connection, I never would have realized that on my own.

The fact that you got to sit down with Chad Findley and talk about this masterpiece is so damn cool.

The sequence of trying to escape that one level where you have to web swing TOWARD yourself is some fourth wall breaking insanity that I love to this day.

This is so nostalgic! Spider-Man PS1 is one of the first games I ever played, along with Gauntlet Legends and Tekken 3, and it was a huge formative part of my childhood. I think it's the main reason I love the webhead to this day.

I'm still not over the cancellation of the PS2 Daredevil game.

11:27. I played the PC version of this game. In it, Black Cat had her mask. If I remember correctly, I think the PC version's graphics also gave the characters individual fingers, and made Venom a much darker blue.

This is an awesome video. The voices from Spidey, Doc Ock, Venom and Carnage were perfect. Sure it references the 90s cartoon but it gets SO much of the comic book DNA in there. It definitely is also a horror vibe, as a kid it really got me at points lol

Certain images and sounds in this game will always take me back to being a kid watching my slightly older friend play through it over and over and going through all the unlockable content.

After all these years. I never knew there was a “What If” mode.

This game is probably is best encapsulation of all good parts of Spider-man in the 90s with no Clone Saga holding it down. I do think limit on web fluid is something that Spider-man can come back too in some limited and maybe harder titles, some of the coolest moves like Punching Gloves and Web Barrier deserve to be recreated in more media. And how can I forget the swagger of Otto in the suit? Truly the king and when it returned in Beyond Corp. arc with also black and white variant I was the happiest.

I played this game so many times when I was a kid. I can't believe I missed What If mode. I had no idea there were a lot more Easter eggs in this game than I originally thought.

The greatest to this day. Rino Romano is the only voice I hear when I read the main continuity comics etc. he nailed that tone of the comics of its time right off the rip. The cast of characters (with the voice actors from the 90s cartoon and Spider-Man unlimited), the love of the mythos and tommy talarico’s suicide is iconic. I was reading comics as a kid, and wizard magazines thanks to my mom and dad, but when this game came out along with marvel vs capcom, it was and still is everything. I still own my original copy of the game, the booklet , and the sequel game , enter electro along with marvel vs capcom 2. Gems of comic book /super hero games, and games in general. The level of Easter eggs in this game walked so that the arkham games could fly. Also, as a fan of Keanu Reeves, its fun seeing the references to Speed and The Matrix.

This is the foundation of modern spiderman games imo

Man…please never stop doing these retros. I love them so much lol they’re always an amazing watch. Thanks so much for the amazing videos!

I've been waiting for this one. This was my first Spider-Man game and it will always have a special place in my heart.

little peaks into "hey this is what actually happens in the comics" is a breathe a fresh air m8 keep these comin

My very first Spider-Man game i bought with my ps1! I still play this game till this day.

This was one of the first games I ever played when I bought my first PS1 console in 2000. Literally my childhood here. I've probs beaten this game over 100 times EASILY. Probs more and that number isn't not exaggerated lmao. I also Love Venom so much in this. Best version of the character to date.

I love peter Parker and Mary Jane being married in this game because damn it I miss Peter and Mary Jane as a married couple so much in the comics it’s not even funny but just sad 😢.

I was quite confident I had found everything this game had to offer but here I am 20 years later only now discovering the printing press gag at 52:07 This a game is a gem

I remember involuntarily having to learn how to speedrun this game when I was like 5 because I had no memory card & got tired of starting over and over. Then the PSX disc broke & I had to hurry, getting a new one. Good times. To this day still one of the best Spidey games, if not the best for nostalgia's sake next to Ultimate Spider-Man.

Monster Ock is one of the scariest villains in any game and nothing can change my mind on that

I'm already at full health

Welcome back, Nerdy! I beat the Arkham Knight story 100%, thanks to you!

Still fun to this day. The simplicity doesn't hurt its legacy; it just makes it easier to pick up and enjoy. The humor and color choices are perfect.

Absolutely mind blown every time by the god tier level of editing, research, and overall presentation of these videos. And to go above and beyond by scoring an interview with Chad Findley, just awesome. Love your work !!

Giant place in my heart for this game probably my second favorite Spider-Man game overall behind shattered dimensions I just left the fun feel of every aspect of it I also liked how they managed to working non Spider-Man characters to really feel like there was a marvel world here and the a handful of the voice actors and actresses were from the cartoons

I loved the ps1 Spider-Man game back in the day it’s personally one of my all time favorite Spider-Man games growing up at least in my opinion.

when my cousin and I were like 6 or 7 and finally finished this game for the first time, we both had nightmares over monster ock for weeks afterwards. genuinely one of the most horrifying things i've ever experienced in a video game.

Speaking of symbiotes, "Spider-Man: Friend or Foe" involves symbiotes as your main enemies, as well as a playable roster of other Marvel characters; since it focuses heavily on symbiotes, you should include it in your symbiote saga.

Now you have to do Enter Electro

It's indescribable how much I wish games like this were still made. Simple, complete, and a product of its time

This game was such a big part of my childhood. The characters, voice and music were all perfect. The Mysterio boss fight has the best song in the entire game.

Glad you’re back! Hype for this video. The PS1 Spider-man is still one of the best Spider-Man games ever made and should be used as parts of the blueprint for future games. The way handled fan service is unmatched

You shared my favorite Spider Man game, and this brought back memories not only because I was born in Brooklyn, but fond memories of my PlayStation, Tony Hawk, Activision games, and much of my childhood in the 90s. The level of detail interviewing staff from Neversoft and the comic and movie references were fantastic as well. You put a lot of work and production value into this, and I’m glad there is another need giving this game the shine it deserves. I hope you cover Enter Electro as well. You have more than earned a subscription!

Surprised you didn't point out the Aliens references at around 51:16 from the "What If" hostage linereads lol

32:56 you should open all of your spider man videos that contain venom with this clip

This game deserves a full on next gen remake, I'd love to see the visuals take on a cell shaded art style to be even more true to its comic roots and to avoid looking too similar to the current Spidey games.

This game was such a huge part of my childhood, at first I played it on my old tv that showed it in black and white while the PAL disc had some cutscenes missing. Pretty much everyone was either playing this or Tekken 3 on PS1. The stage variety, soundtrack, bosses, puzzles, etc. I'll never forget those lizard underground levels, helicopter chases, sewer puzzles and that Monster Ock chase. I'm lucky to have grown up with PS1, those days were pure gold.

My PC had this issue that if I let the cut-scene play out before the Scorpion fight, Spider-Man misses the Bugle window in the cut-scene and the Scorpion fight starts with him falling and then a game over. It's later that I realized that I could get around the issue by skipping the cut-scene and then the Scorpion fight starts as usual.

Always nerdy making another video on one of my favorite childhood games ?? Yes pleeeeeease what a treat

Production values are through the roof! Super cool that you actually get the opportunity to sprinkle in dev interviews making these retrospectives come full circle! Can't wait for the next one.

Damn, I thought I was the only one who saw this Spidey game as a classic. So gald I was wrong. I still vividly remember having a great time with it on my PS1. Great vid Always Nerdy!

I've been binge-ing your videos, they're so good. You summarize the games and their many parts while also talking about outside details that you wouldn't get just playing the games. Above and beyond ❤

Damn, I remember this game so well even though I haven't played it in 20+ years! I remember kids in school were getting PS2s around the time, but I didn't get one until a couple of years into its lifespan, so I bonded with this kid in the same position who also only had a PS1 and we exchanged and borrowed PS1 games from each other, and I discovered several games so good during this time that didn't even make me feel I was missing out on the PS2 yet, this was one of those games! It's a PS1 classic, and this was such a great and nostalgic watch, awesome video as always!

I love hearing your editorial/retrospectives on these games, and this one is no exception. Another great job

Man these videos are always such an exciting event. Great, high quality stuff man.

Always thought this game was super weird when I played through it as a kid. Having watched this, I've realised that I unknowingly played the "What if?" story 😂

This brought back a wave of nostalgia. Thanks for the retrospective. I miss this classic

One thing I like about this game is the sense that it's just another crazy day or two in the Spider life. Everyone knows each other, Venom and Peter have this bond of almost frenemies, and Spidey never gives off a sense of being in over his head.

Another exceptional retrospective. It was great learning in depth about this game. I’ve always heard great things about it. I look forward to your next video especially the completion of the “Symbiote Saga”! Every single game left in the saga are ones I’ve been wanting you to review so my anticipation is sky high.

Always look forward to new videos from you, I’m sure this will be a great one!

You are genuinely my favourite retrospective KZfaqr on this site, you put so much work into these videos I can really feel it. I've watched all these videos at least three times, I'd love to see a video on Web Of Shadows someday! Keep it up!

21:27 I have never seen this clearly before, it was always a blur. Absolutely amazing.

You’re one of the greatest channels on the platform in my opinion, I’m a sucker for older super hero games and seeing those videos really fill that guilty pleasure of mine. It’s an immense shame you don’t have more subscribers. Keep going♥️

I'm very impressed by this retrospective. I rented this once on N64 back in the day and never gave it much thought in the years since, but you really underlined & summarized all the really cool & smart inclusions in this one. Great work!

I cannot openly express how much I’ve waited for this review. I hope you are having a great day

Amazing work as always! And this is how I learned about the child VO for Carnage, I always assumed they just pitch shifted Dee's voice. Was interesting to hear about some behind the scenes stuff too.

When I was a kid I would call them web balls, never thought about web bullets though and I like the fact that this is the game (and Enter Electro) that made the fight combos for Spider-Man 1 the movie lmao I love the nostalgia 👌

The clip you showed of Alfred from Batman the Animated Series wasn't voiced by Efrem Zimbalist Jr. but instead it was Clive Revill. Clive only voiced Alfred in the first three episodes of Batman the Animated Series, those being: "On Leather Wings", "Christmas with the Joker" and "Nothing to Fear." After that Alfred was voiced by Efrem.

Thank you for this amazing video! Got to relive one of my favorite childhood games through it and learned about a lot of side content that I never realized existed!! ♥

great retrospective with a good dose of documentary, nicely edited and paced too. I only played the sequel to this on the ps1 back in the day, and I still have found memories of it.

The Lizard in the sewers is in both versions, funnily enough. And I'm a bit surprised you skimmed over the What-If dialogue and scenes in the Scorpion stuff, like when you fail to get there in time and Scorpion's The Shining reference.

my favorite ps1 game of all time thanks for covering this

This has my favourite Venom voice of all time and this game was one of the first games I ever beat.

This game will forever be nostalgic. Thankful that this video was made because I missed so much and learned a lot about this game. Amazing work!

YES! This is the one I've been waiting for! I already said this a couple of times but this is the game that first inspired my love for voice acting as a kid so it will always have a special place in my heart.

This is crazy timing, I just finished a playthrough of Enter Electro for the hell of it

Been waiting patiently for a new video. Love your work.

I love how the Symbiot level looks so Alien and in What if? mode hostage use lines from Aliens like "Game over, man, Game over!" .

I'm sure Tommy's mother is very proud of him.

I loved the ultimate spider-man game, would love a long retrospective on it. It seems to have been mostly forgotten

This game was formative. One of the first pieces of any media that filled me with awe and wonder. I remember discussing the Monster Ock sequence with my friends in 2nd grade, I couldn't beat it so eventually I had a sleepover and we finally beat the game that night. Major nostalgia trip, thank you for this video

Believe if you want, but for real. Today I decided to watch a Playthrough of Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, when I was about to watch it, your video came up on my feed, so perfect timing! Also, that was a badass intro, sir. 👊🏻

One of the earliest games I ever played and one close to my heart. To this day I still love the depictions of the characters and hope to see this game remade or universe explored in the future. Also best version of Venom

All the other Marvel Heroes being thrown in as little cameos is amazing

Your videos are the only videos that I just straight up watch rather than put on as background noise. Good stuff bro.

Fun fact! The Tony Hawk billboard doesnt require what-if mode to activate that sound-bite. It happens in the normal game as well, it just has to be that particular one (it has a pumpkin bomb spray-pa8nted on the back)

This has been a great retrospective and am very excited for web of shadow. I have been looking forward to that for a bit. Great job on this. I love the details and Easter eggs you point out.

The amount of love and passion gone into making this game is astounding!!! ❤️‍🔥

I'm so happy to see you again with your new video! I'm looking forward to your Symbiote Saga! ⚡️

Thank you so much!!! I love this video! And all the videos you make. This game was my childhood 😁😊! I appreciate all your work! And especially getting the developer interview

This and Enter Electro are two of my favorite Spidey games. Thanks Nerdy! Love your work! ♥

Worth mentioning that a lot of the graphical issues, like Black Cat’s missing mask or Spidey’s missing weblines, were fixed for the Dreamcast and PC versions of the game, which came out after the N64 and PS1 versions. Another fun detail is that the Lizard gets upset with you if you go back to ask for directions again. Thanks for covering this game, I’m a huge fan. The chat with Chad was especially neat.

Wow. I learned a lot from this. This game was actually one of my early spider-man games when I was a kid. I always love how much effort, research, & etc you do when it comes to these videos. Looking forward to the future Spidey vids. Kudos to you & I hope you're doing well in life.
