Genre: Platforming |
The last 32X game ever released, Web of Fire is a lousy platformer starring Marvel Comic's Spider-Man. The terrorist organization HYDRA have trapped New York City in a massive electrical grid, and are demanding a billion dollars in ransom. Spider-Man's goal is to seek and destroy the grid's generators, which are guarded by a super villain team known as the New Enforcers. After dealing with the grid, Spider-Man enters Hydra's airship fleet and must face the Super-Adaptoid. |

Info
Progress through each level and fight (or avoid) enemies as you go. Some levels are split into more than one part, but generally speaking you need to make your way from left to right to proceed. Spider-Man moves around fairly quickly, and can also jump. He can also climb walls and ceilings by simply touching them, and he can also use his web. The web has a limited supply, and can be used for swinging. Press the jump button twice to swing, and get use to using it as there are some places where you have to swing across large, bottomless pits. |
The web can also be used to tie up enemies and restrain them. Some enemies can remove the web faster than others, and it barely works at all on the bosses, but on the basic enemies you'll have a few seconds to move in and defeat them. The web can also be used to destroy some enemies, such as the flying turrets. The B button is used for attacking, repeatedly press it to do a combo of punches. Hold down to crouch and press the attack button to make Spider-Man hit the ground, this is needed to open up certain paths. |
As the game's opening cutscene reveals, Daredevil has been captured by Hydra. He can be found in the first level and if you free him, you can call him on to attack every enemy on the screen. To do this you have to pause the game, highlight "Daredevil" and then press start. You can only call on Daredevil a few times, but by collecting the "DD" icons in the levels you can have more chances to call him on. |

-None of Spider-Man's regular villains -such as Venom, Green Goblin or Doc Ock -appear in the game. This is presumably because of issues with the Marvel licence, and SEGA (or Blue Sky Software, who developed this game) didn't have the rights to use some characters. |
