Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin (originally released as Spider-Man) is a 1991 action-platform video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. The game was originally developed by Technopop and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis, before being ported by Sega to the Master System and Game Gear, with the latter version published by Acclaim Entertainment through its Flying Edge division. An updated version for the Sega CD, also developed by Sega, was released under the name The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin.
The player controls Spider-Man as he battles various supervillains (Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the Lizard, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Mysterio, Electro, and Venom) in order to obtain the keys needed to disarm a nuclear bomb that the Kingpin has not only framed Spider-Man for stealing, but plans to detonate within 24 hours. In the middle of the game, Spider-Man's wife Mary Jane Watson is also kidnapped by Venom.
