Spider-Man: The Video Game is a video game developed by Sega in 1991 based on the Marvel Comics popular comic book character Spider-Man. The game was released as a coin-operated arcade title based on the Sega System 32 hardware. The game can be played as a single player game or up to a four player one. The game is a beat-'em up game similar to Data East’s title based on the Marvel Franchise, Captain America and the Avengers released earlier that year. A novel bit of gameplay is that every so often the game changes from a multi-scrolling fighter into a platformer as the camera zooms to a far-away view of the characters in miniature. Later it zooms back in for the much larger and more detailed characters to continue the brawling.
The game allowed the user to play as one of four characters: Spider-Man, the Black Cat, and the Avengers Namor the Sub-Mariner and Hawkeye. The game was divided into four acts, meeting various villains, including Venom, Kingpin, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Lizard, Scorpion, Sandman, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, and ultimately Doctor Doom.
