The Kingpin frames Spider-Man for planting a bomb that will destroy New York, and the city turns against its hero, giving him 24 hours to find the keys that can disarm it. Sega's 1991 Genesis game, developed by Technopop, sends Spidey after a roster of his best-known villains who each hold a key, including Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Hobgoblin, the Vulture and Venom.
Spider-Man can crawl along walls and ceilings, swing on web lines and fire web shots, but web fluid is limited and must be bought. That ties into one of the game's best ideas: Peter Parker can take photos of enemies and bosses with his camera and sell them to the Daily Bugle to fund more cartridges. Higher difficulty settings make the bosses and the bomb clock more demanding. An expanded Sega CD version with animated cutscenes and a new soundtrack followed in 1993.
Tips for Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
Take photos of bosses during fights and sell them at the Daily Bugle to afford web fluid.
Spider-Man heals by resting in his apartment, but it uses up precious time on the bomb clock.
Web fluid runs out quickly, so use punches and kicks on regular enemies.
