One thing that bothers me about this one is how people only seem to remember the birds who, as annoying as they were, weren't too difficult, they often show up in open areas where you can really just swing past them, but the bats... oh, they're a copy of the birds, a sprite swap, but in the sewer when you're looking for the Lizard and later Doc Ock's hideout, in those tight spaces... they suck.

I still think GBC Spider-Man's quite decent, it's a downgrade when compared to Neversoft's PS1 title, which this is a port of, but that's expected if you take the hardware into account I suppose.

A Spider-Man MetroidVania is certainly a decent concept, and while the execution wasn't perfect, the moody atmosphere and OST, alongside good graphics and decent level desing, makes up for it.

No problem, I hope you enjoy! It has its issues, I could really do without the flying enemies and cramped areas in the sewers, and the mediocre jumping controls... but it's still mostly excellent to me, and I'm glad I've replayed it, since I could actually appreciate it a lot more this time, since I avoided using a guide, which I couldn't avoid last time, exploring is fun in this, just a pain at times.

It's always a shame when some manuals just don't have any scans online, especially for stuff where the controls aren't all that good and I like to see if I'm doing something wrong, Spider-Man 3 on Game Boy controls so badly that I wanted to see in the manual if I was missing something, but no one bothered to scan it... then again it's LJN licensed garbage, so why should anyone bother?

I also thought Spider-Man 2 wasn't all that good, though it controller better from the get go, and when I looked up the manual to see what was the intended way to control, it clicked and I liked it.

Indeed, he seems like a huge faggot too, but he's the only source of this information since he's the one who interviewed Ed Annunziata about it and all, so I though it'd be best to link it for anyone in here that might be curious where I got that from.
