Marvel's 1993 Maximum Carnage crossover ran across several Spider-Man comics, and this 1994 beat 'em up adapts it, with comic panel cutscenes between stages. Software Creations developed the game, and the cartridge was famously red. Carnage escapes from Ravencroft and assembles a gang including Shriek and Doppelganger, and Spider-Man and Venom, uneasy allies, take turns fighting through New York's streets and rooftops.
The play is in the Final Fight mold, with each hero having his own moves: Spider-Man throws webs and swings, while Venom hits harder. Collectible icons call in other Marvel heroes, such as Captain America, Black Cat, Firestar, Cloak, Dagger, Iron Fist, Morbius and Deathlok, for a single assist. The stages often send waves of thugs, and the difficulty is high with few lives, which is a common complaint. Separation Anxiety, a sequel, followed the next year with co-op play.
Tips for Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage
Save the hero icons for bosses; an assist can take a large chunk off Carnage's allies.
Web attacks use web fluid, so collect the cartridges dropped by enemies.
Throw enemies into each other to deal with crowds instead of trading punches.
