The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin

Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin is a video game produced by Sega of America and developed by Technopop initially for the Mega Drive/Genesis. It was internally ported by Sega of America for the Master System and the Game Gear, the latter being published by Acclaim Entertainment through its Flying Edge division. An updated version was also released for the Sega CD under the name The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin. All versions of the video game are side-scrolling platform games in which the player controls the superhero Spider-Man, who fights against various supervillains (Doctor Octopus, Sandman, The Lizard, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Mysterio, Electro and Venom) to obtain the keys needed to disarm a nuclear bomb that the Kingpin has not only framed Spider-Man for stealing, but which he intends to detonate within twenty-four hours. In the middle of the game, Spider-Man's wife Mary Jane Watson is also kidnapped by Venom.
