Spider-Man Video Game Megathread

**Uncensored** · 06-22-2005, 09:47 PM

I admitedly have never read the Maximum Carnage crossover, as I wasn't reading comics at the time. But what I did love was the video for SNES, I played it for hours on end, day and night, beat it many times (one trick I found worked well on Carnage was switching back and fourth between Spider-Man & Venom quickly, dealing a few punches, then switching, and so on, for the sake of the temporary invinsibility). And the red cartridge ruled.

Meh, it was kind of weak compared to the original Spider-Man game on Genesis, or it's remake on the Sega CD. Up until the original PlayStation game, those were the only Spider-Man games to really feel like Spider-Man. Hell, the Genesis one, you got cash for taking pictures!

Yeah, I spent an inordinate amount of time playing the original SNES game, I loved it. At one point I was able to beat the entire game as Spider-Man without losing a life. Downloaded an emulator version for PC about and year ago, and while I wasn't able to beat it without losing a life, I did beat the game on my first try. It's like riding a bike really, you never forget.

I used to have the Gensis game you speak of at one point, I could never beat... Venom, I believe it was, on some rooftop.

nah maximum carnage is the best spidey game ever and has one of the best soundtracks for a game ever.

I have to find that game somewhere.

best part was on the first level at the boss if you timed it right you could kill both the chicks in one blow

I also spent many an hour playing the Maximum Carnage game. Amazingly accurate to the storyline. I think The Deep was my favorite level.

**streator** · 06-23-2005, 11:06 AM

i had the game, it was okay.
the genesis spider-man game based on the cartoon was pretty difficult.
i had some other snes spider-man game, where you could play as spidey and venom as well, separation anxiety. that was my favorite spidey game of that era.

**Charagon** · 06-23-2005, 11:40 AM

Difficult? Alistar Smythe as the Ultimate Spider-Slayer was freaking impossible!

i also had 'war of the gems' for snes, which had spidey, wolverine, captain america, iron-man, and the hulk as playable characters, a fun game, not too difficult.

I would save the whole FF for him (the spider slayer on the roof) and pray to God I got lucky.

I also hated:

DEFEAT VENOM WITH JUMP KICKS THIS WILL ONLY TAKE 20 MINTUES

I thought the Spiderman for PS1 was kick ass

We´ve had a great game based on the second movie and most people seem to like the Ultimate game to, won´t buy it. So now I wonder why they won´t make a game that is based of the 616 version, aka the original, version of Spider-man.
Whoever makes this game could take all the good stuff from the previous games and put them together and do lots of cool stuff.
Hulk got a freakishly cool game based on his 616 version so why not do the same for Spidey? Does anybody agree with me?
This has been the ramblins of a Spider-man fan who wants a game that is based on the 616 version of good old Spidey.

I think that a good Ultimate Spider-Man game (what with the Ultimate line being typically "hipper" and more relatable to a younger audience) sets up a promisisng series of Spider-Man games and makes a 616 Spidey game redundant.

I mean, either way it's Spider-Man. As long as I get to thwip around through the city and beat up familiar bad guys, I personally will be happy.
