The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire
1996 video game
The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire is a 1996 action-adventure video game developed by BlueSky Software and Zono, and published by Sega for the 32X add-on. Based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, it is inspired by the long-running comic book mythology and adaptations in other media. In the main storyline, the terrorist organization Hydra and the New Enforcers orchestrate a plot to shroud New York City under an electrical plasma grid, trapping its citizens. Spider-Man must confront each of the New Enforcers members, foil Hydra's plans, and save the city with the aid of Daredevil.
Headed by co-producers Jerry Huber and Jerry Markota, Spider-Man: Web of Fire was created by most of the same team that previously worked on several projects at BlueSky Software, such as Vectorman and its sequel. It was the last game released for the 32X in North America, as Sega discontinued support for the add-on and produced a limited number of copies of the game as a result. It was also the final Marvel Comics-licensed release by Sega until 2008's Iron Man.
Gameplay
The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire is a side-scrolling action-adventure game where the players control Spider-Man through six stages as he goes up against the terrorist organization Hydra, who has taken all of New York City and its citizens as hostage by setting up generators that caused a giant electrical grid to appear over the location, and their hired hands the New Enforcers. The New Enforcers are each guarding the generators to make sure Hydra's plans go uninterrupted. The plot is explained through newspaper-styled cutscenes.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1996 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3493438. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 2008.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
