Spider-Man: Web of Fire
Encyclopedia
Spider-Man: Web of Fire is a video game released for the Sega 32X
and based on the popular Marvel Comics
character Spider-Man
. The game was one of the last games released for the 32X system and thus is hard to find, commonly selling on eBay
for well over 100 US dollars.
In the game, the player controls Spider-Man in a side-scrolling battle against the Neo-Nazi organization H.Y.D.R.A. and the New Enforcers
. The player can also get assistance from fellow superhero Daredevil
by collecting "DD" tokens.
Exclusively released on the 32X platform, the game inexplicably did not seem to contain any features that would have prevented it from appearing on the original Sega Mega Drive/Genesis aside from possible character licensing issues with Acclaim
and their Spider-Man games. Although initially poorly received by critics, its rarity has allowed it to become one of the most coveted games in collector's circles.
