Graphics in this game was like reading a comic book.
It looked great.
I have championed this game as my favorite arcade game ever for so many years. I remember being like 4 years old and seeing it come to our Walmart Lobby. It was brand new and I’ll never forget how thrilled I was to play it. Thank you for giving it the respect and dignity it deserves!
same top 3 easy
The one thing anyone that's ever played this in the arcade most likely remember most about was the high pitched wail the foot soldiers made when you smacked them. You could hear it above most other ar are noise.
Rreeewwwwwwww!!! That’s the sound I remember
Yes! So funny. I love the art in this game too though.
The Spiderman Arcade game was fantastic but had some things working against it. Sega was forced to use ' lesser known' characters but still made the most of it and used Venom( somewhat new villain at the time) as an attention grabber while more classic villains came later in the game. By far the biggest crime for the game was it NEVER got a console release( not even today except Roms) only arcades!
Yeah it's crazy that they never released this for the Dreamcast with so many perfect ports for the system.
I believe Sony has the Spiderman license. Make a deal with Marvel and Sega for a Spiderman classic collection on PS4/PS5. Collecting Spiderman vs Kingpin for Master System/Genesis/Sega CD and the Spiderman Arcade game.
@@QwyattStorm The DC was never going to get this game, which was long old hat by then. A Sega CD could have pulled off at least a half decent port of it, while the 32X surely would have done it full justice, along with the Saturn of course too.
I really liked the genesis / Sega CD Spider-Man games
I still have that Sega CD game. Thought about buying another Sega CD system off eBay so I could play it again.
The sega cd game had a great soundtrack.
Maximum Carnage is still one of the best Spider Man games of all time
Ironically being a not popular character without an expensive license allowed Hawkeye to appear in this game and Captain America and the Avengers, Namor also appears in that game but as a cameo.
I think it's because unlike like the more powerful heroes , Hawkeye lends himself perfectly for videogames: he fights with martial arts, is vulnareble, shoots projectiles, and even can get easy power-ups in the shape of stronger trick arrows.
Hawkeye and Namor just seem out of place. Cloak and Dagger, Daredevil, Prowler, Frogman would have been a better fit.
@@Nick_Nightingale I guess that minus Daredevil who would have been harder to get the rights, the other characters were too obscure for non comic fans to be included in the game.
It’s so frustrating that when Sega finally put out a console (Sega Saturn) that was capable of porting all these gems perfectly, they opted to ignore all these beat em ups😬. I understand that by 94/95 beat em ups were dying out, but still.
I know, really!
I always thought Spider-Man’s posture looked odd in this game. His slumped shoulders make me think of Bigfoot.
His terrible posture was the first thing I noticed when I saw this game as a child.
Apparently, all the other players also have back problems..
yeah he walks really werid.
I agree. He looks like an old decrepit spidey who lost his mojo.
Was about to comment on that impression lol.
They really did a great job of translating the look of the comic to a videogame. The visible sound effects and speech balloons are a great touch.
9:40 Fun Fact: The music you hear in the background is also the stage 3 and 4 music from Sega's first four-player arcade game Quartet.
Wow!
oh man! Quartet was amazing! loved that game!
Absolutely loved this game and felt the Hellfire club soldiers sounded so 'un-earthly' when they were defeated! Anyone else noticed that?
I played it recently and I liked it.
The sound effects remind me of street fighter's Vega
@@gumball2253 GREAT SCOTTS YOUR RIGHT!!!
SO PLEASED YOU COVERED THIS. I was OBSESSED with this game especially as a lot of my friends didn’t know the likes of Black Cat
Also had the Mega Drive game... definitely do a video on that. LOVED it
Damn, they really showed off w/ this one! That zoom in zoom out transition is hard af
Also, idk why they didn't make spider man more agile/faster and give him more swinging/quick zipline moves in the platform sections.
Still remember the 1st time I saw it in the arcade cab in the early 90s.. A huge screen with loud speakers, that music and that great graphics...i was AMAZED!!!
Love the feeling of this memory, so I love this game
My most nostalgic arcade game. I played it so much back in 91 at the age of 10.
When i played it back then in 90s i tought i was playing inside comic book pages ...amazing game.😍😍😍
Man I really wish this game came out back in the days for the home consoles. They should put this game on the PS Store and X-Box Marketplace
That would make my year!
Radames Rivera or Better yet Arcade 1up.
@@shawnswint1521 YES!! I'm so down for that!!!
@@radamesrivera4193 IKR. I Mean it's like ''Why Not'' All the Other Marvel games got the Arcade Cabinet Treatment.
@@shawnswint1521 true story! This game would be a dream to have. I remember as a kid seeing it in the arcades for the first time. I loved playing this game
Developed by Rare; published by LJN. That game boy Spider-Man must have been so conflicted whether it was supposed to be awesome, or suck.
Rare actually had a really bad track record prior to DKC 1.
Pretty much every bad LJN game AVGN has ranted about was developed by Rare. Their ZX Spectrum stuff is also not good, but I suppose they were the kind of games you had to play at the time of release.
'THIS GAME SUCKS MY SPIDER-BALLS!'
@@nicksrandomreviews Hey Jetpac is still fantastic! Agree that most of their NES output wasn't that great though.
One of the enemies kinda looks like Adam from Streets Of Rage.
Sega was on top of the world during the late 80's-early 90's arcade scene. Spider-Man arcade game was my go to arcade choice at the time and still is fun to play till this very day!!
I wish they would rerelease this game. Can't Sony talk to Sega and Disney or something?
Maybe as a Arcade 1up with Konami X-Men, and Data East Avengers.
I want to play..... We need to do something about this
Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety were incredibly well done
My the favorite things in entertainment are Spider-man, fighting games,and beat'em ups. I smiled this entire video.
Always disappointed this never got a home release. I remember the Sega CD version being announced and some magazines using images of this game leading you to believe it would be a port of it at first. I do wonder if even the 32X CD could have done it justice though.
Honestly it would have been a perfect port for the Dreamcast on the Sega Smash Pack game. A really big missed oppurtunity.
Licensing issues have prevented way too many games from ever seeing a proper home release. One that I mourn particularly hard is Konami's AMAZING G.I. Joe third person shooter.
Compound that with poor preservation of games to begin with (until recently), and we've probably lost hundreds, if not thousands of games across various platforms throughout the years. Saw SNES Drunk review that GI Joe game, and I would have loved that as a kid.
I really wish I could get this running smoothly on the PS Classic, both this and "Golden Axe - Revenge of the Death Adder" are the only older arcade games giving me an issue.
I always had a hard time finding this one, mainly at amusement parks and stuff, but it was always a treat if I did. I loved the platforming element.
This was one of the arcade machines that my bro and I would always look for at arcades. He would play Hawkeye and I would use Black Cat.
This game looks really cool. I was always annoyed when Spider-man would have to fight regular street thugs in games. He could fracture a regular human's skull in 1 punch if he wanted lol.
I was fortunate enough to play this as a kid. It was a lot of fun, but it's funny how gangly and inflexible the characters seemed, with Spidey looking like his secret identity was Senor Cardgage. I think I even commented on it as a kid. Really shows how the art style of the characters has changed over the years; maybe because our perception of how to look cool has changed.
When I was younger, they had this near the exit of the American Adventures in Atlanta. I always wanted to play it.
That beard strip was...shocking. good luck on recovering so to speak.
even that harry's blade had problems with his thick beard
I like the Spider-Man: The Video Game one of my favorite Arcade Beat'em ups
A true inspiration. This version of Peter Parker overcomes severe scoliosis affecting his mobility & a learning disability that causes him to speak mostly in third person.
I loved this one back in the day. I wish it could come to the Switch. Sega could release it as part of their Sega Ages series.
Wow this arcade game sounds like a big grind even compared to other beat em ups.
When i was in 6th grade I saw this arcade at Disney world. It blew my mind and I never saw it again until the internet confirmed its existence. Despite spiderman looking weird, it was a super cool game. Never understood why it wasn't more popular
8:34 the real reason for the inclusion of these characters was that sega was only given a select handful of characters to chose from due to other characters being licensed out to other game studios
15:46 ANAKIN skywalker Sand reference.
I used to play this at a burgerking that had the arcade machine.I play it on my pc now connected to my flatscreen tv at least once a year!!
Interesting thing here: back in the 90s, Spidey didn't have a dedicated heroic cast. As a loner, the most he had was Black Cat and MAYBE Daredevil. He wouldn't be a team player until the New Avengers and wouldn't gain that heroic cast until the 2010s with the Spider-Verse event.
People do tend to forget (or not know) that until Spidey joined the New Avengers, he was very much NOT a team player and no more than a reserve Avenger at most.
I saw this game in the early 90's only once: in an arcade in Bloomington, Illinois, USA. I loved it completely. It was a gorgeous game and the two modes made things feel so much like a comic book. My only complaint is that i always associated Dr. Octopus as being Spider-Man's main nemesis, so it seemed strange to have the main boss of the game be the arch-nemesis of The Fantastic Four, with Dr. Octopus showing up as a mid-boss halfway through the game. I wouldn't find it again until a few years ago at the Galloping Ghost in Brookfield, Illinois, USA. I was going to play it next time I visited it, so I hope it is there after the pandemic is gone. I so want to play and beat it again. Sadly, it is not on my Pandora's Box that I got this year.
It is odd but for what it worth doom is Marvel biggest villain who has clash whit every hero in Marvel including spiderman as well. However, they still could have treated Doc Octopus better in this game.
Even with spidey’s frequent team ups I always thought it was weird that Sub mariner was included.
Agreed. They probably should've used some of Spidey's allies at the time, like Rocket Racer or Prowler. Or Silver Sable.
This game owns so many of my quarters and a free space in my mind. I will never forget going down to the Korean market down the street after school to play this with some mates. Like playing a cartoon. Thanks for bringing this one up ya'll.
Loved this game so much. I also enjoyed the 16-bit Spider-man beat em ups, reminded me of the Sega arcade game. Like Separation Anxiety and Maximum Carnage off the top of my head
I make it a point to listen to the Patreon acknowledgements because it's impressive to see/hear how many people help out.
another thing that made this game great is the slight differences that each of the fighters edifferent from each other, with each playing different with different strengths and weaknesses for each
Well, kinda wish we had gotten this on the Genesis, though Maximum Carnage & Separation Anxiety were fun ones
Would of been port perfect for Dreamcast
Thank you so much for this 🙏🏼 I was 5 or 6 years old when I saw this game at an arcade once. Actually, no, the arcade in Coney Island, Brooklyn (maybe one of the only arcades left in this entire city) has it still (I believe). I only played it once. Nostalgic tripping right now.
This was my favorite Spider-man game of all time. So much so, that back in the days when I owned an arcade cabinet, I bought the board.
Really, there were no other options, since it was never ported home. There was no chance though, since no home port would would have done the arcade version justice. The reason being that the Genesis/Megadrive were toned down versions of the System-16 arcade hardware. Sega System 32 hardware (featured in this video for Spider-man and other Sega arcade games) was technologically on another level.
The game would be downgraded graphically to the point where it would be a completely different game. Sega games back in the day, as we all know, were exclusive to Sega hardware and in the very early 90s we only had the Mega Drive, Mega CD, and 32X. None were powerful enough to do a near arcade perfect port until the Saturn came out in 1994 in Japan. As we all know, Sega didn't seem to care about porting legacy arcade titles to the Saturn. Which is disappointingly why we never got perfect home ports of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, ESwat, Revenge of the Death Adder, and Spider-man. I guess they felt their legacy titles wouldn't be profitable.
namor the submariner needs to be a playable character in marvel games
One of my favorite of all time arcade beat'em up! Loved this game. Please do a video on Captain America and the Avergers!!!!
This was my all time favorite arcade game. I remember playing it at a chuck e cheese back when I was a kid. It took a lot of my tokens but it was always fun to play even though I had no idea who Namor was. I mained Hawk Eye and my brother always played Spiderman.
I played this game so much when I was younger in the arcade.
I loved that arcade used to play it in Ponce Puerto Rico when my mom went grocery shopping in Quijote supermarket,I don’t know if I was too little but I remember it being hard af
I remember this game at the bowling alley where I grew up. Good times.
For me, it was in a Chinese supermarket, though it might've been the Captain America game instead. I don't quite remember, though I do remember Spider-Man swinging in feet first on the title screen.
You do it again!!! One of my FAVORITE games ever growing up often got confused with the other Sega Spider Man game but had NOTHING to do with this. When I moved to Florida this game was only around when the fair came around my birthday I remember spending atleast 30 bucks of my birthday money on this game and beat it with my brother and my best friend.NOW seeing emulated on the pi or pc on a big screen just is truly amazing! Thank you so much for all your content been a fan for a long long time! Wrestling and video games are a big part of my lifre also
Spider-Man: The Video Game! How did I forget that was a thing? I spent so many pockets full of quarters on that thing!!!
I had completely forgotten about this game, but I remember them levels & i knew it was going too change gameplay as soon as I saw venom. Great game.
The first time I played this game as a kid it blew my mind. I never beat Kingpin and assumed he was the final boss. Since he was the final boss in the punisher game.
I think Spider-Man's walk cycle is really weird in this game. He has this sort of schlubby, hunched amble. Like Spider-Man has really bad posture. He even kinda looks doughy around the middle. I guess they really went with Spider-Man's "every man" appeal.
As someone who never played this one and barely knew of it, all four heroes posture and walking look... off. Not the entire time, but at least some off it. Not a huge issue. The rest of the game looks great!
Agree. And what surprised me was his combo attack, he fought like a boxer, without any kicks. He should have got a more acrobatic combo, like Black Cat.
@@Hektols yeah, like jake lamotta past his prime, brawling in the street.
@@KamisamanoOtaku I never actually played it myself but I've seen a little footage before and thought the same thing. None of them are very dynamic but hawkeye and black cat aren't too bad. Spidey and namor are very odd though. Namor has that barrel chest physique of an old man who's maintained his fitness, but still looks like an old man.
Strange you didn't talk about the weird game mechanic of the HP ever dropping HP, I remember playing this in the pizza parlor and wondering why that was happening.
Loved this game. Had my two favorite comic characters in it (Spidey and Hawkeye) and although it was rare in my area as a kid, I played it every chance I got.
If you haven't already covered them I'd love for you to do a video for the SpiderMan beat 'em ups for the 16 bit consoles....Maximum Carnage!!
One of my favorite arcade's of my childhood 👍
No BS Harry’s is the best razor I’ve ever used highly recommended
I remember playing this at Cedar Point (look it up) and thinking "we ain't gettin' this one at home". Loved it though.
Hot damn that commercial for the Atari Spider-Man game... And people thought the movie Green Goblin costume was goofy af?
I loved playing that game on the arcades when I was a kid. It's a shame it was never released on a home console.
Wow I have to play this game this looks like one of the best side scrolling beat Em ups I've ever seen thanks top hat!
They never could have ported this game in the early 90's. Well not without gutting it and taking out everything that made it special. It would have made a great Saturn launch title though.
The Generous Degenerate Another millenial who's never heard of the Neo geo...
Not gonna lie, Spider-Man DIDN'T get me to play this game, the Sub-Mariner did! My buddies saw me playing and joined in and we ultimately defeated this AMAZING game! Love it! Happy to see you highlight it here! And thank god for FREE PLAY otherwise we would've never gotten through it on our measly few quarters.
Arcade beat them up games in the 90s were awesome. Spiderman, tmnt, Simpson's and final fight 😀
The Spider-Man arcade game truly was an amazing masterpiece, and definitely the best one too. Bummer it never got ported to console though. A Sega CD probably could have done a faithful port of the game for the most part also.
I really disliked Spiderman default walk cycle. Made him look really lazy crime fighter.
Don't think I ever knew this one even existed. I guess only having one arcade at the time if they didn't have it I would only see something about it if I happened to get a magazine that happened to talk about games at the time. It was a different era.
That old Atari Spiderman game is the reason spiderman became my favorite superhero and still is to this day lol. I spent hours as a 5 year old playing that junk when it came out!!!
This was one of my favorite games growing up. Thanks for covering it.
Hey man I usually love your videos, but this was great. I enjoy the fast tempo of the different games, I really hope you continue more series like this - very very cool man!
'Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin', and Gameboy 'Spider-Man' were probably the first 'Spider-Man' games I've ever played. Naturally, the Genesis game was the better of the two. The arcade game was certainly different from those two games, and is definitely on par with other arcade beat-em-ups of the era.
The Spidey Mega Drive game looks INCREDIBLE !
I encountered this game at a pizza shop, back in the early nineties. While I thought it was awesome(and still do),I have always found the posture of the heroes to be quite strange. They walk as though they are depressed, or have low T or something. Especially Spidey and Namor.
I remember this in the arcades along with the PUnisher arcade... good times
Wow. I really suck. I played this at a bowling alley back in the day. I never got far enough to see the zoom out platform sections
This game was tough. First few tries I couldn't either. After celebrating making it through the first boss, it was such a shock to see there was a whole other type of gameplay I had not seen.
This is some really interesting history on the web slinger’s dive into video games. My team in school is developing a capstone project influenced off of Spider-Man PS1 and rope slinger games. When I make another build I post a link to the game here.
Ground Kontrol arcade in Portland, OR has the original arcade along with pretty much every major arcade hit from the 80s & 90s.
This arcade version of Spiderman and the arcade version of X-Men both need to be released on the modern game consoles.😀🕹🎮
Still wish I could have bought this when I was sixteen and my local arcade sold this cabinet for 150.00. It worked and everything. My mom would not let me get it. Maybe one day Arcade1up will do one. Who knows.
At 12:00 that zoom out and zoom in effect is cool
The biggest thing people point out as a wtf moment was the use of characters, mainly Spider-Man's partners. Black Cat is fine but Hawkeye gets pointed out a lot. Though he is street level so some people give him a pass. But Sub Mariner nobody can figure out why he is in the game, sure he is teamed up with Spider-Man on a few occasions but there are plenty of other superheroes that would come to mind well before him. Still really like the game though.
It's ridiculous that with the advancements in video game technology and the fact that most of the marvel characters are now owned by the largest media company on earth, as well as the fact that Marvel characters are as popular as ever and we don't have nearly as many marvel games
I appreciate how they supersized the characters and gave Spider-Man horrible posture
Several of the characters have hunch backs and tiny heads. The proportions are bizarre.
I remember playing this in the arcade TimeZone in Australia as a kid back then good times loved it and always wanted and wished for a home port back then
I've never seen this game out in the wild. Would have loved to play it back in the day.
Shame there was never a proper port of this game. Even on Mame emulation this game is hard to come by.
They got it stored somewhere, I must play this game
I loved the cabinet of this and continue to play on MAME. Great game.
One of my favorite arcade games of the past
Always loved this games graphics. It was like straight out of a comic book
12:45 Adam Hunter as a regular enemy?
I thought that haha, also looks like the stance of the boomerang boss in streets of rage
Found it on my MAME pandoras box 3D. Excellent game. Thank you for reminding me of this forgotten gem. Brilliant Video & great research. THANK YOU
Just found Golden Axe 2 going to give that a go in a bit
