Play 2 in 1 - Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2 (E)(Rising Sun) Online

Two old-school Spidey games in one—swing through cardboard-cutout Manhattan in the sequel or brawl through clunky side-scrolling levels in the first one. The jank’s part of the charm now.

Game Overview

This GBA cart is basically a double shot of Spidey nostalgia—you get both the 2001 and 2002 movie tie-in games crammed into one. The first one’s your classic side-scroller: punch goons, swing awkwardly (it’s the GBA, cut it some slack), and fight Doc Ock in a weirdly claustrophobic sewer level. But Spider-Man 2? That’s the real surprise—somehow they squeezed a tiny open-world Manhattan in here. Yeah, the buildings look like cardboard cutouts and the swinging physics are… optimistic, but back in 2002, this felt revolutionary.

Honestly, half the fun now is laughing at how janky certain bits are—like when thugs teleport into existence or Spidey gets stuck mid-air. But there’s charm in that. The soundtrack’s got those crunchy GBA synth versions of the movie themes, and beating up Shocker never gets old. Just keep your expectations retro.

If you’ve got a soft spot for early 2000s licensed games, this cart’s a time capsule worth dusting off.
