Play The Amazing Spider-Man - Lethal Foes Online

I picked up The Amazing Spider-Man: Lethal Foes for the Super Nintendo back in 1995, a game developed and published by Epoch Co. It was a time when licensed superhero games were a real mixed bag, often rushed to capitalize on a character's popularity. This one flew a bit under the radar, a side-scrolling brawler that didn't get the same attention as some of the bigger Capcom or Konami releases on the system.

You control Spider-Man through a series of New York City stages, fighting to stop a villain team-up from destroying the city. The core gameplay is straightforward beat 'em up action; you punch, kick, and web enemies to clear each screen before moving on. Your webbing is a limited resource, which adds a small layer of strategy to the otherwise simple combat. The difficulty is pretty unforgiving, with enemy attacks coming fast and health pickups being scarce. It feels like a constant, frantic scramble to survive each encounter, a genuine test of your reflexes and patience.
