It came out in the SNES's second year on the market. Other notable SNES releases from 1992 include The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart and Final Fantasy V.

It is part of the Spider-Man series; on the SNES you can also try Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety, Spider-Man Animated Series and The Amazing Spider-Man: Lethal Foes. The series also appears on other systems with Spider-Man (N64) and Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (NES). Software Creations also made Equinox, Plok and Foreman For Real for the SNES.

Spider-Man: X-Men: Arcade's Revenge is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you prefer slow, thoughtful games over reflex tests
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Spider-Man: X-Men: Arcade's Revenge is like

Action games test reflexes and nerve. Expect fast enemies, tight controls and stages you clear by reacting quickly and learning enemy patterns.

Tip for newcomers: Retro action games are often short but tough. Treat early deaths as practice runs; every attempt teaches you where the next threat comes from.
