Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge ROM

While swinging his web throughout the city, Spider-Man notices the disappearances of X-Men Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine; he then notices a tube from a garbage truck sucking up Gambit, and after figuring out it’s Arcade, swings his web to the truck. He tracks Arcade down to an abandoned building, which is the location of the first stage; the player portrays Spider-Man de-activating “Security Eyes” in a set order (as indicated by the Spider-Sense) to enter. Inside, he, along with Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine and Gambit, are placed in the deadly games of Murderworld, a simulated program designed by Arcade to torture and kill his victims.

The player must successfully complete each Marvel hero’s two “events” in order to get to control Spider-Man in a final battle with Arcade and escape. While any character’s first event can be selected at the player’s will, his or her second event isn’t playable until the completion of the first. All the heroes have the same lives, meaning if one hero loses a life, the others do as well.
