Finding that site made me really, really happy. I didn’t recognize the name at first, but after digging deeper I was led to a in-depth review of the game on the site Gaming After 40.Īnd there it was – the pictures, the text, the adventure I remembered getting lost in oh so many years ago. Playing the almighty connections game, a search for “Madame Web” led me to a search about video games she had been depicted in, which led me to a history of Spiderman video games, which led me to Questprobe. I kept seeing in my mind an image of one of characters, a woman, sitting in some sort of contraption that was surrounded by a web.Īnd from there the internet searching starting because I couldn’t stand not remembering the name of the game. It had characters from the Spiderman universe, all decked out in that magic early computer color trio of white, cyan, and magenta, and your goal as Spiderman was to collect objects and save the world. It was a text-based game but it had graphics, and we had it for our PC. During one of his game breaks, I asked him about this Spiderman computer game from years ago that had popped into my mind. I watched my husband play through a few levels (the jury’s still out on whether or not I’ll play it and after seeing his frustration, I’m not yet convinced) and couldn’t help but think of this other Spiderman game I’d played long, long ago, in a galaxy…oh. I probably would have never remembered this game if it hadn’t been for The Amazing Spiderman game that we recently bought.

This is the Atari version of the game - still pretty close to our PC version, except for the colors.
