Spiderman on Atari 2600 retro video games console

[nickeldeonrules1011]

i kinda feel soorrry for old people and there video games they didnt get good graphics back then

[SteveBenway]

@nickeldeonrules1011 I feel sorry for young people who don't know the wonder we felt back then. Seeing computer games for the first time, when they simply hadn't existed throughout the whole of history previous to that time. It was special.

[nickeldeonrules1011]

@SteveBenway whoah an old person. hey man what was the war like

[SteveBenway]

@nickeldeonrules1011 Yeah right... I'm not *that* old. Though I was very aware of the Cold War, and I can tell you, it was scary... and nothing even happened in that one.

[nickeldeonrules1011]

@SteveBenway any other spideygames

[SteveBenway]

@nickeldeonrules1011 I have a Spiderman and Venom: Maximum Carnage video at watch?v=pfC2O2dux8A

[nickeldeonrules1011]

@SteveBenway oh yeah i think im gonna call you steve. how old are you

[SteveBenway]

@nickeldeonrules1011 I'm 43.

[nickeldeonrules1011]

@SteveBenway WOAH. woah woah when was this game made cuz you sound to young to own this

[SteveBenway]

@nickeldeonrules1011 Like I said, I'm 43, and this game was made in 1982. I started gaming around 1972, on electromechanical arcade games... before even Pong had hit the UK shores, and long before Space Invaders.

[TeamRocketReviews]

@SteveBenway I'm sad that I missed out on the golden age of gaming and computers... I was born in 1997...

[Leigho79]

I loved this game on my 2600! :)

[Ironjagg]

this game should be in the World Cyber Games :P

[ANinja11]

I remember playing this on my older bro's Atari.

[commandersafeguard10]

gaming has evolved so much!

[woody4n]

I'm gonna cry

I miss the old times and my childhood =(

[freakozola21]

i wanna get black ops for atari . . . lol

[SteveBenway]

@freakozola21 I think the nearest you could get is Halo :D

[rtrgrl78]

I used to have this and played it a lot when I was really little.

[laubeatz]

hahah the look of bombs has really changed

[Lufttygger306]

"You are shooting the web which is like black for some reason, and it almost looks like spiderman is shooting out like a long turd or something..."

[sasukerocksify]

weird

[CarBonkers]

LOL I remeber playing dis in the 90s, cos we didn't have Playstation we only had Atari. Pong and Spiderman. i am proud!

[Schuenemann]

Funny thing is that superman's character looks more like spiderman than this game's character.

[plooooooooooker]

10,000 views exactly now :)

[muxmedia7]

how much did people used to pay to buy these games?? just asking

[SteveBenway]

@muxmedia7 Before the 80s Crash, which didn't really affect the UK that much anyway, about £30 per game in the UK. That converts to nearly $60, though I don't know if they actually cost that in the US.

[muxmedia7]

@SteveBenway cuz just like 5 minutes of gameplay isnt worht 60 dollars in my opinion O.o unless u replayed that 5 minutes hundreds of times

[SteveBenway]

@muxmedia7 Well yes, but back in the day, that's exactly what people did.

Games were all about hi-scores, so you'd play the same thing over and over, to see if you could beat your own best score.

It certainly seems insane now, but back then that's all there was, so it seemed entirely normal.

[Henson222]

@SteveBenway Not only for the highscore but games like this were fun for hours. And at the next day you wanted to start again. Good old times...

[gamegod9000]

@muxmedia7

Plus, it saved a LOAD of trouble. To play a game back then, you had to go to an Arcade. HAD to. Not only would you need quarters, but permission to go to. And it wouldnt happen immediately unless your parents did everything for you. But when the Atari came out, people were impressed that you could play at home.

[POSITIVEFUCKER]

@muxmedia7 very interesting comment ,,,i understand very clear the idea ........actually its different

[tipsandinfo]

@muxmedia7 I recall $20.00 being the base for Atari 2600 games

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

i used to play this in jr. hs. fun game back when.

[DJfraz07]

looks more like a massive boner than a web

[marian20012]

The green goblin is totally dangerous. He is too action for me.

[michaelmusica]

it´s really amazing how video game technology has evolved, not that I mean to impugn the great Atari

[SteveBenway]

I totally agree.

The question is, given how far things have come in 30 years, where will they be 30 years from now?

[daro2096]

@SteveBenway

What makes you think there is another 30 years?

[SteveBenway]

@daro2096 Take your religious doomsday bullshit elsewhere. It's not welcome here.

[AoFparson]

this was also one of my favorit games on the 2600

[TheHeroForce]

The AVGN Cannot Pass This Level.

[SteveBenway]

lol... I've seen his Spiderman video. It made me chuckle.

[stickmanpictures01]

I have this for the 2600 emulator.

[ShinmaRyuu]

"High resolution...shit...detail." lol

This is one of those games you have your "uber pwner" halo fan play and watch him cry like a baby. :D

[HyperSonicSquall]

I can just hear it now: "Where's all the lens flare?" "Where's the shit brown/ gunmetal gray backgrounds?" "These movements don't look motion captured?" "Where's Spiderman's super armor?" "Where's Spiderman's crew-cut hair and beard stubble?" "Where's the regenerating health?" "How come I can't tea bag people" "Why doesn't this have world-wide death match multiplayer?" "Why is this so linear?"

And the most hilarious, "This doesn't look or feel realistic!" Did I hit the nail on the head?

[Neville6000]

LOL, how true!

[ufo5440]

who needs hi res for an atari game, lol

[n136ha]

brilliant game, remember it so well

[Iwtlv]

Thanks for saying that, because this game idea was ripped off from me and my older brother and it makes me sick that someone else is taking the credit for this!

[n136ha]

it stood head a shoulders over so many of the other games for the 2600. that was the the great thing about the 2600 - the vast array of level of quality from the terrible to the brilliant like this.

[rickdabritt]

Love this game, i just brought it on ebay for a few bucks for my 2600 :)

[Mariachi702]

this game is fun (1980's)...

[nebulaofhell]

Yees! Go Spidey!

[Cab0cl0]

Back in the day? You mean it's not your favorite anymore?

By the way, I liked this game, but it pissed me off.

[dotchoo]

omg this has to be fun i gotta try this.

[tiredsniper]

Ah, the 80's. "Spider-pixel, Spider-pixel." Okay, that's all I can come up with. Goblin looks very non-threatening. "Watch out! He'll throw DOTS at you!"

[JMFabianoRPL]

Opening music = distorted version of the '67 theme.

[TricoL0rd]

You must climb by the side of the bulding.. :P

[TricoL0rd]

Good game. One of my favorites too.

[ilikecheese10012002]

spider 3 the game rocks
