Hey folks, I’ve lurked on this community for a while now but haven’t really posted anything until today. Sorry if this isn’t really the right place to ask questions like this, but since this is a place for old games, I felt it’d be the most appropriate one…

I’ve been wanting to re-live some of the games I used to play as a child, and I remember how, back in 2004-2006, there was this Spider-Man game I used to play as a kid but could never beat. Lately I’ve been curious if I could finally do it now.

All I remember about it were three missions:

  • The first mission was some sort of “tutorial”, where you’d have to use the web ability to swing across buildings and pass through a certain amount of these glowing green spider icons to clear the level.
  • The second(?) mission was about some robbers/thieves stealing a bank’s armoured car and you had to capture all of them.
  • The third(?) mission was some sort of boss fight against a powerful guy who was apparently helping the thieves. I never got past this fight, he would always grab me - when he grabbed Spider-Man, I couldn’t really do anything, he’s just keep holding him and grunting occasionally; there might’ve been a key combination to break free from his grasp, but I didn’t know at the time and always assumed it was game over and that I had to restart.

I understand this is really vague, but my memories of this game are incredibly vague and I barely recall much more. I remember I played it on a computer at least. I couldn’t find anything like it on Wikipedia’s pages on Spider-Man games, so I’m wondering if it might’ve been an unofficial game or something like that?

    Oh, it is indeed the second one, thank you!!

    Yeah, I’m watching a video on the PS2 version and it seems completely different 😅 I might try that one, actually… But yeah, it might not have the nostalgia factor.
