Spider-Man is an action video game released in 1982 by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600. It was the first video game to feature Spider-Man.

[edit] Gameplay

The game involves players controlling Spider-Man to scale a building using his web shooters in order to defuse bombs planted by the Green Goblin.[1] Spider-Man is only able to use his web lines to move up the building, and if touched by enemies they will cut the line and send him plummeting below, though the player can shoot another web in time to save themselves.

Upon reaching the top of the building, Spidey must then face off against the Goblin, who has planted a "super bomb". Upon defeating the Goblin (which involves simply avoiding him) and defusing his super bomb, the game starts over from the beginning.[2]
