Spider-Man on the original PlayStation nicely demonstrated both the rise of polygonal graphics and their hard limitations via the poisonous gas that prevented you from going down to the streets. Maximum Carnage on the Genesis and SNES showed the popularity of belt-scrolling beat-em-ups in the 16-bit era.
As such, they tend to look to trends for inspiration, and we can see that pattern in many of the games. I’m not sure why, but perhaps it’s because they release so regularly and haven’t found a unique voice the way Batman recently has with the Arkham series. Spider-Man video games act as little mini time capsules of the video game industry.
