This is the first part of my Spider-Man Explained series, in which I’ll take you through each and every console Spider-Man game, starting back in the 1980’s on the Atari and eventually leading all the way up until Insomniac’s latest entry, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. I will detail each games new innovations, the gameplay mechanics, the costumes, the narrative and the villains! This first episode will cover the older titles that released before the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man Movies. We will see the birth of the video game depiction of the popular hero, Sega’s one hit wonder in the 90’s, Acclaim’s hit or miss season of Spidey games and Activision’s revival with the first 3D Web Slinger video games.

You missed the Amiga / C64 “The Amazing Spider-Man” (1990). It’s a cool little puzzle game worth checking out if you haven’t played it before.

I don’t cover classic home computer games simply due to their difficultly to get hold of today, the huge number of them coupled with very archaic designs. I mainly just want to stick to console gaming and PC exclusives. So that leaves out mobile as well 😂 but thanks for the recommendation

I grew up with Spider-Man's 90's show, but it was the PS1 games that really got me into Webhead, superheroes and comics. This video made me want to play them all over again and also showed me ones I didn't know about, like Web of Fire and Kingpin. Great stuff!

I remember playing Spider-Man The Movie games for PS2 & Xbox, great times great times! Now, with Spider-Man 2 on the way, I'm hype. I still play the classics from Game boy, NES, SNES, PS, and Xbox, Spider-Man for PS4 & Spider-Man Miles Morales! Out of all the Marvel video games Spider-Man is one of the best.

Dude Spider-Man 2000 is one of the first games I played as a kid on my parents’ “home computer.” It was easily my favorite, even though I was basically a toddler playing it. I never managed to beat the Mysterio level, and I’ve always wanted to be able to take another go at playing it. I still have my original game disc, but any modern computer I’ve had won’t run it lol. I’m sure I could emulate it, but I don’t have a pc at the moment and will have to wait. In the mean time, this video was a nice way to reminisce!

Gosh, this is a lot of Spiderman; two whole decades worth in a singular video. Off the top of my head, I've experienced at least two of the games within that time frame, maybe a 3rd or 4th. 1:26 - Ah yes, the Spider Sense, a conveniently specific interpretation of a spider's sound detecting capability. Glad it only acts up for Spider Man when specifically "danger" is about. 2:36 - Given the capabilities of the time, a tower climbing game seemed a perfect way to showcase as many of Spider-Man's unique spider characteristics as possible. I like the "cute the web" and "stop falling by shooting a new web" mechanic to it. 4:02 - So how does Spiderman shoot a web? I assume A is jump (and swing is double jump, so double A) and B is kick, so is shoot web the Select button? It seems to properly realise Spiderman in a game you'd need at least three buttons. 12:31 - I think it was only known as "Spiderman" in PAL territories, but this was the first Spiderman game I played (Mega Drive version). It was a lot of fun, though I think child me only got past the first three levels. I remember that Venom was an optional boss you could find in the sewer level. 13:49 - I missed a chance recently to buy this Game Gear version... not that I currently own a Game Gear. £120 is a lot to spend on a handheld that might need another couple hundred to fix up if it's capacitors are gone. 17:13 - Interesting to hear about the difficulty decrease given to the Master System and Game Gear versions. 18:51 - Are you sure Morbius is lesser known nowadays? He has had a rather infamous movie. 22:30 - 2 player could be quite the game changer. Even a mediocre game can be elevated when you can enjoy it with a friend or sibling. 26:11 - "By the number?" Interesting to hear given this game seems to return to Spiderman vs the Kingpin's more distinctive formula of how a Spiderman game should play, with larger levels and plenty of wall climbing. 30:33 - An now for the 2nd Spiderman game I experienced; loved this game. I played the PlayStation version but wouldn't mind owning it again for the Dreamcast. 35:38 - Strangely enough, not the first time Lizard and Venom shared a sewer level. Conveniently also, two of my favourite Spiderman characters. 41:33 - The Dreamcast version certainly looks lovely. It's not a huge upgrade but also still a noticeable improvement in a game that already looked decent. 46:10 - An this is the other Spiderman game I got experience, though I'm pretty sure I experienced it only through a demo. The inclusion of ground levels was a natural evolution for the game to take.

100% in the future I plan to cover all Marvel games and all Street Fighter games and possibly the other Capcom franchises that are featured in the MvC series, such as Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Darkstalkers and more. And then will also do the Capcom Vs SNK series and cover Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury, King of Fighters etc. in the future 🙂
