Spider-Man is a vertical scrolling action game for the Atari 2600 released in 1982 by Parker Brothers. Players control Spider-Man as he swings across city rooftops, climbing ladders and using his web to ascend while avoiding obstacles and enemies such as the Green Goblin. The game features simple controls, a scrolling screen that moves upward, and a score system based on how far the player progresses. It is notable as one of the early licensed superhero titles on a home console and for its distinctive vertical scrolling gameplay on the limited Atari hardware.
