The player alternately controls Spidey and Cap; the character being controlled switches after each battle.

Characters

The game featured an assortment of Marvel Comics supervillains through the course of the game, many whom are relatively minor characters in the comic books: Eduardo Lobo, Grey Gargoyle, Machete, Boomerang, Oddball, Electro, Hobgoblin, Rhino, Batroc the Leaper, Rattan (who was created specifically for the game), and finally Doctor Doom himself. The game's manual provided biographies on each character in a style similar to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and information about each character was used as a form of copy protection.

Reception

Computer Gaming World gave the game a mixed review, praising the graphics but noting the game loaded and played very slowly. The review also noted the game was extremely linear, and controls were unresponsive.[2]

Trivia

Marvel Comics also released a comic book that was only available in the game package. It illustrated the plot leading up to Spider-Man and Captain America's mission to stop Dr. Doom.
