The first ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' video game, released by Parker Brothers in 1982.
The [[BigBad Green Goblin]] has planted "Super Bombs" on the tops of skyscrapers, and Spider-Man has to defuse them. You play Spidey, using his web-shooter to climb up the [[SideView side]] of each building. Each building has a lower section, with windows, and an upper section, a lattice of girders. Spidey's web can only grab onto the walls and girders, not the windows or the sky.
Criminals appear in the windows; if your web touches them, they'll cut it and you'll fall. But if Spidey himself touches them, he'll capture them, [[ScoringPoints score points]], and replenish his web fluid. Likewise with bombs planted in the girder section. The Green Goblin appears from time to time, moving back and forth across the screen; he has to be avoided. Once you get to the Super Bomb, swing Spidey over it to defuse it.
Web fluid runs out with time. On higher [[GameLevel levels]], it runs out faster. The game is [[EndlessGame endless]]; once you finish level 6, it repeats level 6 again. The game ends when you lose all your [[VideoGameLives lives]]. Which is actually one of the most gruesome deaths depicted on the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}}; Spidey [[DisneyVillainDeath falls to the ground]] and lands on his back with a splat noise.
