- "Welcome, true believers and newcomers alike! Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee here!"
Done as a tribute to Stan Lee, following his recent passing. What a better way to pay him tribute than by hearing him in his very first video game cameo?
In this video, I show most of what the game has to offer in a single playthrough that I skip in speedruns otherwise (admittedly, some of them I observed for the very first time myself). Altough, I did not completely dumb down my gameplay, I used SOME speed tech, as long as it is either accessible to newcomers or cool to watch.
Ben Reilly, Scarlet Spider and Symbiote costumes are simply unlocked throughout the story. 2099 costume is unlocked by collecting all comics. Captain Universe costume is unlocked by completing the story on hard mode, rendering completely the need to unlock any other costume.
The rest of the costumes cannot be unlocked in a single playthrough. Unlimited costume is unlocked by replaying the story for a second time (you must choose "Continue" in the main menu). Peter Parker and Quick-Change costumes are unlocked by completing specific challenges in the Training section. Amazing Bag-Man costume can only be unlocked via a cheat code ("AMZBGMAN" for PS version, "KICK ME" for PC/Dreamcast versions, unavailable in the N64 version).
This playthrough made me appreciate the game more than ever. Controls show their age, due to the camera mainly, though they are far from terrible. On the other hand, the level design is just fantastic. I always find myself mixing different actions without feeling overwhelmed on one side or becoming bored on the other. Not to mention the many nods and references to other Marvel and Neversoft properties. "Subway" sucks no matter what, but that's acceptable. In the end, the game is still very fun to play, both casually and speedrunning-wise. I easily recommend it to anyone, as long as you can tolerate the aging controls.
The PC and Dreamcast versions provide enhanced graphics over the PS1 and N64 versions, the PC version in particular has little to no loading times. However, getting it to run properly on modern systems is quite the task. Even then, you might still stumble upon a game crash or glitched graphics here and there, which was a problem even on systems of the time. Still, I recommend either the PC or DC versions if you can play those.
Stan Lee provided one of his finer cameos in his career by narrating the game's plot with his legendary voice. This was the first time I was exposed to him as a kid. I liked this voice even when I couldn't understand a single word in English.
Stan lived a great life to its fullest. While he may be gone, no doubt his legacy will stay strong forever.
Until next time, Excelsior!
I saw a few comments asking how to run the game properly on modern machines. The 2 most common issues I assume, are that the game runs too fast (since the game lacks frame cap) and that the game simply crashes upon entering a stage.
Assuming you already found the game, here are some tools that should help you:
- Use either DxWnd ( sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ ) or D3DWindower ( community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/733-d3dwindower-english/ ) to force the game in windowed mode. Either program should also solve the crashing issue.
- If the game runs too fast, DxWnd has a frame limiter. Right click on the game>Modify>Timing>Check "Limit" under "Frame perSecond" and change the number to 30 or 25, depending on wether or not you care about the chase sequence in "Catch Venom". (Screenshot for reference: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/527890736750788610/776527392989773844/unknown.png )
- Alternatively, Set the resolution higher than the game's, but keep the same aspect ratio (you can find aspect ratio calculators online). Depending on what resolution you set, the game will have different FPS, so play around with it and see what works best for you.
- Fraps ( www.fraps.com/download.php ) helps to stabilize the framerate of this game. Not needed for the first method.
If you don't like the frame count mark, you can move to the FPS tab and choose "Hide overlay".
Another common issue is that the game softlocks after a few seconds of playing. It's difficult to explain why this occurs, but it has something to do with how audio works in this game. Setting the game to run in compatibility mode of older version of Windows should solve this. I personally choose Win XP SP2.
Shtrudel Tell me Please How you do this Move 22:01 I Can't do it
@@Gabriel-oj5db Around that spot, you can drop off the wall and zip up. If you're asking how I'm facing the camera, I hold down before dropping off.
@@shtrudel9498 Thank you I appreciate that
In the lastest version of DxWnd, I can't find the timing tab so I can't find a way to limit fps in old games
thanks cheezus. Finally the solution that i ever wanted for more than 10 years.
As a 4-5 year old. I didn’t understand the story. I just liked playing as Spider-Man
Same, I'm so glad I found this game
Would go to uncles house just play this game at 6 years old early 2000s was sick
I love how this comment is so simple, yet it has over 300 likes
During childhood we love to play as Spiderman, during adulthood, we know how hard Peter Parker of being Spiderman.
in my pc game we didnt had this story
This game is so nostalgic for me. I remember playing this as a kid and being so horrible at it.
I beat it with a mouse and keyboard. It was NOT fun learning how to do that lol
I remember being so young and getting past the lab part. This is extreme nostalgia
I remember playing a demo, or maybe I just couldn't get past level one, lmao
*KID MODE*
I remember in school ..2 people used to control spider man...one controls arrows and the other controls numpad (web fight jump swing)
Ps2 version was better
The last "Run-away-from-the-boss" battle, always, gets my heart beating fast.
True. The fact that web cartridges are limited makes it more difficult

I played this game as a child without the cut scenes was very confused about the fog. Sweet memories.
Yes we indians got pirated version
saaameee
Where did the cutscenes go?
Dude this is my childhood memories aswell😂😂
I played this without the cutscenes as well
Dude even goes through all the Kid Mode voices, and let's the whole title screen song play.
This dude's got class
I remember doing this as a kid as a sort of "who's that Pokémon?" But with cooler voice actors imo
There's just one that he missed, no blame to him though, it's random which voice plays.
It's a kid saying "Kid Mode" really fast. Like "KidMooode"
@@High_Devil i think he missed another too.
This game was fucking revolutionary back in the days. The cool thing is that it was mostly based on 90's Spider-Man TV show . The story, combat system, graphics,... Everything was perfect about this game back then.
You mean the ps2 version
@@CharetteOfficial i played it on DreamCast and PC latter on...
@@OfficerDoofyInTown oh OK well what I meant was the ps2/Xbox version version was better coded than the pc version. More controls, free roam and seems higher resolution somehow opposite of today.
@@CharetteOfficial you mean PS1 version😂
@@CharetteOfficial i play this game on ps1, wtf u talking about
I love how Stan Lee just narrates the entire game.
This is a comic book in a game.
I loved Spiderman for the PS2, but i hold this game dear.
14:20 he flies into the bomb room lololol.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
I noticed that as well 😂
That made me laugh
@@RAIS12ful suicidal spiderman
Man I thought I was the only one that did this!🤣
That and trapping those guards at 11:24 in the control room🤣
Anybody in 2024 missing their childhood game

I'm also missing this game in my childhood

This game is one of the most memorable gifts my step dad ever got for me as a kid. So nostalgic watching this. He even got me the PC version, and not the PS1 version. This version looks so much nicer!
PS1 and Dreamcast versions are the best. PC had way too many bugs and other problems.
@@Disconnect350 PS1 graphics weren't good
@@KakashiHatake-mz6ug Actually, they were good. PC graphics look too cartoony and colorful.
@@Disconnect350 I don't know but the PC graphics looked more detailed
@@Disconnect350 it’s based on the Dreamcast port

This was literally the first videogame I ever played. Countless memories man
Ps2 one was better
@@CharetteOfficial Unnecessary comment.
My dog died while in the days I was playing this game. She was so sick, I used to pause this game multiple times to check up on her. Nostalgia
THIS game.... man it was really somethin'....
and Blackcat hehe
You tried to kiss her while playing game. Don't you lie to me now
Feh, girls in masks aren't really hot.

1:19:39; the most unexpected super villain when I first played this back in 2000.
Great times! Yeah, I'm talking about you camera angle!
29:49 I love how she just gets hit after she says that
14:17 hilarious
Haha
lmaoo
"Suicide is bad@$$"
lol.
Not this time guys
"Non-stop web-slinging wall-crawling ACTION!" That phrase still in my mind 🤩
RIP, Stan Lee.
And after that I immediately knew the chopper🚁sound effects and Spider🕷️Man🧍♂️jumping on to the roof of the building🏢was the next thing to come!
34:58 iconic
This game brings me so many good memories.
After 20 years, now i learn there's PC version for this game.
After 18 years, now i learn there are more versions than the PC version
You are a kid
i also grew up in the pc version and also didn't knew about other versions ua-cam.com/video/hvh0fS6bRTg/v-deo.html
Played this like a mofo back in the day sans cutscenes
He is also playing the pc version didn't you see it's written press enter and enter key is avilable on key board
You established yourself and this video as amazing the very moment you went back and forth over “Kid Mode” in the difficulty settings to hear all the voice overs.
You’re a bad ass, thanks for this.
You gotta admit, this was a really good game for it's time.
This game is so good, definitely deserves a remaster; as soon as an boss fight started I instinctively picked up my controller thinking I was playing this lol
Clearly black cat knows more about spidey's powers than spidey himself..xD
I still remember when I was 6yo, I used to play this game on my computer as soon as I got home from school. This game is so nostalgic for me that I had tears in my eyes remembering my childhood through this game.
I appreciate your attention to detail in the game for us to see!
That NeverSoft logo animation was so metal.
Me and my older brother would take turns playing this as kids. I still remember being freaked out by carnages crazy laugh! These old spider man games will always be in my heart.
35:25 That's an unsolved bug from the PC version on modern systems that causes Spider-Man to run to the right and crawl up the wall instead of chasing Venon, one must resume chase immediately or Venon escapes.
If you can force the game to run at 25FPS, the cutscene plays as intended. For example: watch?v=o2IHoIwQ9e4 at 9:45
I've also seen some console playthroughs with the glitch.
that bug also happens on some emulators as well
My version had the problem of jumping right out automatically! i played that like a million times and kind of pressed everything to get out of that stupid bug
@@prasadaswin i think the solution is dxwnd that limits the framerate to 30 fps
Aswin Prasad i remember that bug too, pretty impressed with my 7 year old self for getting out of it on the fifth* try.
This video takes me back to my childhood.. i was really fascinated with this game.
There’s something about these games that the newer games just haven’t managed to capture. A kind of wholesomeness.
It just now occured to me, Cletus Cassidy was left to die in the explosion at the end, lmao.
1:22:05 Even the subtitles acknowledge it
So in this world, the Carnage we know (Cletus Kassidy) no longer exists. Possibly the Carnage symbiote also died to the explosion?
Lol it says RIP Cletus
7:44 Spidey finally snapped XD
1:23:04
Can we appreciate how Daredevil can play "Go fish" and even look at Punisher's cards while being completely blind?
It's funny how they appeared together in Netflix's DareDevil.
Charlie Cox's Daredevil vs Jon Bernthal's Punisher
The reason why I love this game back then was because of Stan Lee’s narrating.
Don’t even remember how many times I tried to jump off on one of the subway stations on this - 41:30 train level as I was a kid 😀
Ah this brings back memories. The voice acting wasn't localized and my English was really bad back then, so I never really understood the plot or the puns or basically anything.
And I remember Spiderman always falling down at the end of the venom chase over and over again. Frame rate reasons I assume. I had to use cheats to get any further. I believe this game also had some kind of silly mode cheat.
Yeah, it had a what if mode. Venom chase was hard but not impossible.
Oh same with me 😂spiderman would always fall down from building
Yeah u rite
Finally I find my game i still remember when I play this game about 13 years ago i'm gonna cry 😢memory 😥
14:18 lol 🤣
Can't beat a classic. Played this on PS1 when I was a kid. Good times.
I love how they made only Venom opening mouth while talking and there are others talking with poker face
1:22:47 heroes playing poker is like the Shawarma scene from Avengers xD
WOW…the music, dialogue, and visuals brings me right back to the 2000s. Thank you for uploading!
Imagine if they remastered this game on pc. It would be 🔥🔥🔥
NO
it's mine and they can't remake it
this game is as old as me
That would be lit. However some masterpieces just can’t be bettered
Ps2 version was better
congrats. they did announce a remastered version
@@aditya_saha When?
42:33 LMAO i just noticed the train had 69 written all over it XD
OMG! Thanks to you for bringing back my childhood memories🤩. I used to play this game again and again during my summer holidays.
My school days game. I played this game in my school during computer class
Lol
It's my childhood game
Thanks for this, it was really nostalgic. I remember playing this when I was a kid and always used to screw up at that end part. It took me like a thousand attempts to complete that
That game was SO FREAKING GOOD, my fav game of my childhood. And there were sooo many little things like the F4 building or the Ghost Rider in 2nd mission. Time flies as heck!
15:06- I see Ghost Rider
He’s in the “What if” mode.
Couldn’t get past scorpion in this game
@@Itsnoahscott only console version.
the last chase scene was so hard , you are very gifted player my man :D
Thanks for uploading this. This was the most difficult game, I've ever played at that time, so I couldn't complete it. Only played 1st and 2nd missions hundreds of times.
It has cheat codes too i still remember
All different suits
One was black suit ,one was invisible ,one was with unlimited power
UA-cam is the closest thing to a time machine❤️❤️❤️.. Nostalgic, every 90's kid will remember this game

Imagine having a remaster or even a remake of this incredible game...
My very first childhood game...
they should since it's 20th anniversary happened like idk 2 years?
Childhood memories. At that time, this was the best graphics game. Time flew away 😔
14:25 spiderman literally flew inside the bomb room and survived that without a single scratch🤣🤣
Thanks for your service brother, it was one proper Nostalgic drive back, awesome game and memories around it.
Not sure what designers had in mind while designing Cat
14:15 LOL !!
I gotta try that lmao
I used to play this game as a kid, but my computer always glitched out when I got to the Venom level so I never knew how the game ended. Thanks for uploading!
“Surf the web, surf the web!” This is the best version of venom.
Ahhh nostalgia is hitting me hard like a punching bag...I played this game back when I was in 2nd Standard and it was so fun.. Miss those days 😌❤
This is the best PC game I've ever played. I would always do the rooftop battles where endless amounts of bad guys would spawn
The ps2 version was better though
So u have lots of games to play then
@@CharetteOfficial bruh this AND THE PS2 version is diffrent. The PS2 is based of Sam Raimi movies for Spider-Man. But this. This has its own story. Seen the films of Tobey Maguire for spider-man? No. Well watch them and u realize you played the MOVIES of 1 and 2 and 3. And gaming isnt only life. Plus respect other opinions. I wouldnt said that if u wouldnt blamed for PS2 version is better
1st Spiderman game I ever played. I was probably around 5 yrs old at the time, but seeing/hearing all of this instantly brings me back to how I felt in those moments. Spiderman 2 drops next month and its crazy to see how far gaming has come. 25 yrs old now and am so grateful I got to see it all unfold before my eyes 🤟🏼 Vr Spiderman in another 20 yrs gonna hit different!!
A classic. Thanks for making this video.
This game should be remastered. Who's with me?
Yes!
Me
I’d play it. But only if the characters’ mouths move to the words they say.
Woah! Didn't know there was a Green Goblin hideout hidden in the game.
Too bad the Green Goblin himself wasn't in this game.
i knew about the hideout. i never saw lizard!
Time stamp 23:20
34:11 and 39:46 , The two missions I've been stuck on for the longest time. Best childhood game.
14:18 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember playing this as a kid on a disc full of demo samples. It always started at 5:15 man those were good days
0:44
I love the drumming in this Spiderman theme.
The original Spiderman theme may be old, but I love how this sounds
13:47 *H U G N H ?*
As 32 years old who played this game in his chilhood, just realized now music in this game was dope!
15:05 i always wondered who he is and now i know after all these years
Ghost rider
It's reminds me of my childhood. Those were the best days. Thank you
This was an insane dose of nostalgia
The Gigachad locked the bomb in the safe and went in before the door closed. Absolute madlad.
I remember playing this first level From a demo disc from the tips & tricks magazines lol I was so pressed , ended up getting the full game at some point and was just in love !
It was one of my favorite games of my childhood. Now, 20 years later, I'm watching it on youtube
5:12 My game would start from here and I didn't had any cut scenes wtf?!
Did you also have some levels that, instead of starting, only showed a red screen? In that case, then you had a beta of the game...
Loved this game as a child!!! So nice that you uploaded and I found it! I could never finish the map after scorpio.... lol
32:11; Spider-Man takes a break
Man, I remember playing this game as a kid. My copy of the game's disc was scratched up, so the game would always freeze around the Scorpion fight. Instead of getting a new disc though, I just replayed the first bits of the game over and over again. Nice to finally see what's beyond the bank heist.
In my childhood days when I played this game, Monster-Ock(when carnage takes over Dock-Ock)was the most scary villain. It use to sometimes haunt me during sleep at that time. Hahaha
The Lizards level and carnage too bro
At 15:16 u could see ghost rider going down on a building easter egg🔥😤🤯🤯
Very sweet memories, i played it in my childhood and i never gone after entering the building where the guards are in black suit 🥺
Today also i remember that i use the right side number pad
Hearing the voice lines from the first level just tingling every nerve in my body.
Damn i loved this game as a kid.
When you have to protect Jamison but he literally doesn’t know how to stay in a Conner instead he runs right in front of the bad guy
Classic Spider-Man game and loved the eyeball intro 0:19 lol
33:47 This game has the scariest version of venom. I mean just look at that.
Imagine if he was original black in this game instead of blue.
Yes. Even with all his funny quips, this Venom is really frightening.
@@SteelTheTemplarius Plus, he sounds like Cookie Monster.
0:44
I love this version of the Spiderman theme, the drumming is perfect
I remember I had this game in Colombia and I only speak Spanish in that time so I couldn’t understand anything and couldn’t even pass the first level but as a child back then I didn’t care and enjoyed the game anyways 😂
25:16 ahh my infamous childhood glitch. This with the one at the first venom level.
It took me and my brother months to get past this one glitch. What we used to do was let go of our webswing and as we were falling down we would regain control and then press swing. The Venom level glitch was a lot harder to do. Took us like a thousand tries to finally get Spiderman to webswing out of the building.
This was the first time I heard Stan Lee’s voice
Super Nostalgic, I had the demo version and used to play it again and again. Watched the complete video just for the love of this game.
2001:- I can play this game on my PC.
2009:-I can play this on laptop.
2020:-oh yeah working on my android.
How to play it on Android???
0:50 That theme and that Spidey background *was my childhood :)))*
I remember how queasy and sad I got when i neversoft eye got pierced and how i thought the symbiote costume was a whole different game that can be bought. I begged my uncle everyday to buy me that😂
