Play Spider-Man (Acclaim) (Beta) (Earlier) Online

This is one of those weird early Spider-Man games that never got a proper release—just a beta version floating around. It’s based on the 90s cartoon, so you get that nostalgic Saturday morning vibe, but honestly, it feels a little rough around the edges. The swinging’s janky, and some of the animations are stiff, but there’s something charming about seeing Spidey in his classic black suit bouncing around pixelated New York.

You mostly fight through side-scrolling levels, punching thugs and dodging projectiles. The controls take some getting used to—wall-crawling feels weirdly sticky, and the web-swinging physics are… questionable. Still, if you’re into obscure retro stuff or just love Spider-Man, it’s a neat little time capsule. Just don’t expect it to hold up like the later games.
