I had the PC version of this game as well, however it was virtually unplayable due to a couple of glitches that I never managed to fix.
I think it had to do with my videocard. It caused ingame movies to overlap (?) with the gameplay. So when you chase venom it would auto fail you since you couldn't make some of the jumps. There is another point later in the game where he somehow even managed to fall through the floor before the level properly loaded. :psyduck:
I did manage to glitch my way through it at some point by hammering the jump button, after that the level select was my hero.

Still, I loved this and I really liked the web slinging in it as well, too bad it's so short.

I thought his web lasted 24 hours back in either the 60's or 90's cartoon? They must have changed it to an hour recently.

I found a site a few months ago where a scientist sat down and figured out exactly what the tensile strength, volume, elasticity and so on of his webs was. Wish I could find it again, it has a bunch of articles on other superheroes if they existed in real life, too. Also they got a marine professor to figure out how much radioactive urine Godzilla would expel per day (10 thousand gallons, I think it was?).

In the 90s cartoon, Spidey actually said "unlike real Spider Webbing, it dissolves in about an hour or so", if memory serves.

Maybe Godzilla went to outer-space to take a leak.

Ouch, I'm really sorry to hear that. I'd actually love to see footage of the game glitching out like that, for curiosity's sake.

Well, that's an uncomfortable plot development. I wonder if we'll have to fight other heroes taken over by Symbiotes?

Reed Richards has probably cooked something up that he isn't sharing.

I don't think I can provide footage. I don't have that computer any more and I doubt this one has the same problems. Regardless, there was not much to see. Just the movie, followed by barely a second of a flash of the level followed by Venom taunting you. :shrug:

I remember playing this game when I was a kid. It was pretty tough, as I recall!

DSP also played through it and... well, 'nuff said.

I also recall that. I believe a similar explanation was given in Spectacular Spider-Man.

Mysterio gets the best portrayals in video games. I wonder if we'll see him in an ASM game before they shut down the whole franchise.

DarkSydePhil. He's a YouTube LPer who's terrible at video games and also generally recognized as a terrible person.

Ah, this thread brings back memories. I only played the DC version, but I always loved the humour of it, especially the Venom chase, the scene after the Venom fight, and "Alligators in the sewers? Yeah right..." The gameplay wasn't bad either.

Pizdec posted:

Instead they used Rino Romano from the Spider-man Unlimited animated series, which was also referenced as a costume in this game and then in nothing else because it was an awful piece of poo poo.

I actually liked Unlimited.

Pizdec posted:

As said above, he is both terrible at games and at everything else. It's never his fault if something goes wrong and he's always quick to point the finger at anything but himself. If the end of the world happened and a group of people had to rebuild society with him, he'd be useless for anything other than whining, moaning, being a hypocrite, and would probably eat all the food and destroy the shelter before blaming someone else for it.

In this issue, we finally web things up and find out who's behind all this.

The New Game+ is really the best part of this game, because it's the silliest.

The "What If?" mode really surprised me as a kid. This game had a lot of replay value for being so brief.

I suppose the black suit is a decent New Game+ even without persistent upgrades, given how web-limited Spidey is normally.

Cool seeing the comic progression, thought I wish they were organized chronologically or at least given a publication date (unless I missed that).

I used a ton on Venom and Carnage. But if we're discounting them, then I used about 1 to 1 and a half cartridges.

I remember owning/playing this on the N64 and I could never beat it without cheating, cause I was a dumb babby. All the extra stuff is particularly mindblowing :psyduck:

Some of the easter eggs are fairly ridiculous, both in and outside of What-If? mode.
