Item Description

Wilson Fisk has planted a nuclear bomb in New York City, framed Spider-Man for it and started the clock: 24 hours until detonation. The keys to disarm it are scattered among Spidey's rogues' gallery, so the web-slinger has to take down Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, Sandman, Electro, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Mysterio and Venom while the city he is trying to save treats him as the villain. Developed by Technopop and published by Sega in 1991, the Genesis Spider-Man game, widely known as Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, was one of the first big superhero games on the console.

It plays like a comic book come to life. Spider-Man climbs walls and ceilings, swings on his webs and fires web shots, but his web fluid is limited, and that is where the game's cleverest idea comes in. Peter Parker can photograph major and minor enemies and sell the pictures to the Daily Bugle, then spend the money on more web fluid. It turns a piece of Spider-Man lore into a real resource system and gives every encounter a small incentive beyond simply surviving it.

Venom is the game's wild card. He kidnaps Mary Jane, and he returns at the end of each round as a punishing extra challenge, making him a recurring menace rather than a single encounter. The finale, with the Kingpin threatening to drop Mary Jane into a pit of acid, gives the race against the clock a proper comic-book climax.

Its impact went beyond the cartridge. Critics praised its graphics, sound and faithful take on the characters, and developer Randel B. Reiss has said its sales helped convince Marvel to keep its licensing deal with Sega. The Sega CD later reworked the game with voiced scenes and new levels, but the Genesis original is the version that started it, a 1991 snapshot of Spider-Man in his classic red-and-blue prime.
