Spider: The Video Game

Released1997
In Spider: The Video Game you control a spider that has been implanted with a neural transmitter port, cybernetic legs, and weapon accessories. You begin at a sector map which functions as a blueprint of the research laboratory which you must explore. In order to clear a level, you must collect a required number of microchips. You must also find exits in each area in order to advance to the next level. The spider is always equipped with a Slasher leg and webbing, and he is capable of enhancing his fighting ability with weapons by collecting power-ups. The weapons include homing missiles, flame throwers, boomerangs, and electro-beams. You'll need these munitions to defend yourself against other spiders, cyber-rats, toxic green frogs, and other laboratory pests in this 3-D side-scrolling platform contest.

About This Game

Dr. Michael Kelly's experimental mind-transfer device could change warfare forever — and Micro Tech wants it. During a raid on Kelly's lab, the nameless Micro Tech brain behind the operation is shot and electrocuted, accidentally transferring his consciousness into Kelly's prototype cybernetic spider. The device is also permanently fused to his body. Now trapped in the form of a mechanical arachnid, he must crawl through labs, factories, the city, a museum, and the sewers to reclaim his body before Micro Tech's scientists find a way to forcibly remove the headset — likely with lethal results.
