Description

Doctor Octopus, a genious who made himself a cyborg by grafted 4 artificially intellegent robotic has escaped from prison and wants revenge on Spider-man. He assembles a team including Sandman, Hobgoblin, Electro, Vulture and Mysterio to battle Spider-man. This is a side scrolling platform/beatemup. Spider-man has his basic abilities in this game. Web slinging, swing, climbing, and wall climbing. It set in an early time, by the comic book canon, when he was losing his super powers due to physiological stress. But the game is only loosely related to the comic canon. To shoot web projectiles, Spidy will need to gather powerups. He of course can jump, punch and kick. As is usually the case with Spider-man, the game is set entirely in New York City. No superheros time in New York city is well spent without at least one trip to it's Sewers. Spider-man has only 1 life but does have a life bar. The only way to fill the life bar is by defeating enemies (fbd, fueled by destruction). Spider-man will occasionally need to find bombs, keys or other objects hidden by the villains in order to survive to proceed.
