Questprobe Featuring Spider-Man

Questprobe Featuring Spider-Man is a 1986 adventure game that puts the world’s most famous web-slinger into a computer-generated mystery filled with exploration, puzzles, and the occasional reminder that superpowers do not automatically make every puzzle obvious. Players take control of Spider-Man and use his abilities to navigate challenges, interact with the environment, and progress through the adventure. His web-slinging skills provide plenty of opportunities for creative solutions, while the game’s comic-book presentation helps capture the spirit of the character. Questprobe Featuring Spider-Man belongs to an early era of superhero adaptations, when translating a comic character into a computer game was still a wonderfully experimental process. It may not offer the acrobatic spectacle of later Spider-Man titles, but it does provide the essential ingredients: a hero, a mystery, and enough webbing to make ordinary household cleaning look suspiciously easy.
