Prototype

One of the most horrid things to happen to a good game is to have it "ported" to another system, then "upgraded". Normally this means "sell the same shit, but fucked up." This was the case with Spiderman vs. The Kingpin for the Sega CD. The spiced it up, added audio tracks in Qsound, (Sega CD games LOVED Qsound) and added some full motion video that can be at the most be called "uber-vomit-feces". But this wasn't allways the case. This page is devoted to a rare prototype of Spiderman CD for Sega CD, very early in production.
