Spider-Man is a 3D action-adventure game developed by Neversoft and published by Activision for the Nintendo 64, based on the Marvel character. Framed for a crime, Spider-Man web-swings, wall-crawls, and fights through comic-themed levels — using webbing to zip, swing, trap enemies, and solve traversal puzzles — battling villains like Venom, Doctor Octopus, and the Scorpion to clear his name.
