Spider-Man (Windows, Mac OS Classic, Mac OS X)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Just one of Spidey's many adventures. This game was originally developed for the PlayStation, but it was later ported to Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Windows, Macintosh, and Game Boy Color.

Development-Related Text#

To do: More console leftovers ("SLUS-00875", "NTSC TV"/"Pal TV", "GD not ready", Memory Card/VMU strings) There's more than shown on this page.

Hidden Developer Comments#

The Windows executable and Mac application data fork contain a large number of rather amusing - and sometimes vulgar - developer comments and error messages. Many of them are aimed at some poor developer by the name of Matt Duncan (although given the context, it's highly likely that Matt wrote the messages himself).

0x4DDF50 (Windows):

Entity '%s' is active but has a '0' alpha render color.

Reverting to a 255 render alpha to make AI visible again.

If this AI is supposed to have a render alpha of '0' and be active, please report specifics of situation to Jason Bare.

0x4DE070 (Windows):

Entity '%s' is active but invisible.

Forcing AI visible again...

Did you give them health before waiting for a FADED_OUT signal,
or did you just forget to make them visible or suspended?
If they AI is supposed to be invisible, then it needs to also be suspended.

If this AI is supposed to be invisible and active, please report specifics of situation to Jason Bare.

Jason Bare is the Lead Engineer for this game.

Removed Cheat Code#

0x1516F8 (Windows), 0x1BE731 (Mac):

J James Jewett  RULUR

Found with the rest of the game's cheats in the executable file. In the PlayStation version, this unlocks Joel James Jewett, then-head of Neversoft, in the character viewer. However, entering it in this version does nothing.
