Spider-Man - Return of the Sinister Six

Screenshots

A side-scrolling platformer scene shows a red-costumed character standing in a gray industrial corridor with yellow striped warning panels and metal scaffolding. A large yellow and green villain sprite looms in the center-right background on an elevated platform. The left side displays a red danger warning sign with yellow chevron stripes. A colorful dot-matrix style panel with cyan, yellow, and green pixels occupies the upper-left area. Gray metallic grating and circuit-board patterns fill the floor. The scene uses bright primary colors against dark backgrounds with low-resolution pixel art typical of early handheld gaming.
