All the characters in the Maximum Carnage game were actually in the Maximum Carnage storyline, so I wouldn't say they shoehorned characters into the game. The game surprisingly follows the comic pretty well.
I have every original issue of the storyline. It's pretty great.
Similarly, Separation Anxiety was also a title coming from the comics.
@@Steve-Fiction The Separation Anxiety storyline from the comics didn't feature any of the bonus heroes from the game version and came before Maximum Carnage.
Yea
Guess it makes a lot of sense to have lots of villains in something called Maximum Carnage, otherwise it should be called Slight Disorder
Maximum Carnage was and is badass.
Maximun Carnage, the best LJN game ever, by far.
I remember that there was a DOS port of this game. I could never get it to work and it had to be returned.
True lies??
I don't think Maximum Carnage came out on DOS. Separation Anxiety did get released on PC though.
Psycho Machinery What it means LJN?

Speaking of the music in Arcade's Revenge, I think it's worth noting that the music was done by a pretty famous video-game composer: Tim Follin. He did the music for Plok, Silver Surfer, among others and most of it is pretty amazing.
I personally have always loved TAS Spider-Man game. It had a nice mix of Spidey's villains and unlike Maximum Carnage, it was a good balance of challenging and beatable. In some ways, I would say that game makes a case for itself as the best SNES Spider-Man game. It's a close second to Maximum Carnage, and it's certainly worth checking out.
Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety were games based on actual Spider-Man comics, by the way, not games they just slapped Spider-Man's name on. All of the characters in Maximum Carnage appear in the story in the comics. It was fucking amazing.
"A 5 foot guy who compulsively bench presses things." I laughed way harder than I think should have at that.. Oh my god 😂 hahaha
Tyler1 is Spider-Man XD
Like always great job Mr. Drunk. One note, in my opinion. I also used to think that Maximum Carnage lacked moves. However the deeper i dug and further I got I realized that there are numerous moves to utilize. From the "three stooges head knock", to using your web to tie up enemies and give you the extra second of one on one. Also i learned utilizing the web sling for kick maneuver also does good. Keep up the good work!
Just stumbled across your channel and I have to say you produce awesome content. The videos are clean and comprehensive, and I find them useful in deciding which retro game to take a tour through.
The name "Separation Anxiety" was the name of the comic book story arc that the game was based on. It's a term for when people have excessive anxiety from being apart from their home or loved ones - or in Venom's case, having part of his alien symbiote "harvested" from him and turned into five new villains.
I used to beat Maximum Carnage regularly cause it was my favorite and no there isn't alternate endings...a few alternate stages but ultimately the same finale. The key to this game is knowing where to find all the help items. And the soundtrack is not by green jelly....only the intro song. Which is called Carnage rules. Stage songs are different. One of them is mob rules by black sabbath
CazzSDMF Yup. I played the game so much that I knew where to expect enemies and how to move around to avoid hits. I could beat the game without taking s hit. I have the Genesis version of the game.
@@voidofbeeswax not sure I ever played the Genesis version. I just got an emulator for my computer...first thing I did was play maximum Carnage and holy shit I was out of practice. I understand why everyone says it's so difficult lol
CazzSDMF I recently played it, too, after many many years. I am way out of practice, too.
A while ago i played it for the first time in like 10 years and beat it on the first try. But yeah, i played it quite a bit back in the day. But only because it's so darn good.
Yeah, once you are able to find the bonus rooms, and hidden extra lives, the game becomes quite beatable, despite maxing out at 9 lives. I need at least 5 to beat Carnage at the end. Great game. One of my favorites
Really love your channel. I grew up on the SNES and it's my favorite console of all time. It's nice to see a channel that's dedicated to it.
When does Wolverine "save" Cyclops? In the SNES game after you complete the 1st Spidey level, you press Select in order to play as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, or Gambit.
It's called spiderman and the x-men . I think IGSRJ reviewed that one.
@The Silver Ninja, I caught that too. The X-Men and their unique stages are unlocked after you get through the first segment of the game with Spiderman. I give him a pass on this though since everything else was spot on
In regards to the goofy Spider-Man sprite, I think they reused one of Wolverine's sprites. It looks very familiar to me, since when I'd visit my aunt, I'd get to play her X-men and Wolverine SNES games. I wouldn't get very far in them, but I distinctly remember Wolverine having that brutish gait.
Just found this channel and have been watching a lot of the videos. Good job!
Thanks for taking the time to watch
I know War of the Gems isn't technically a Spider-man game per se, but it has one of the best representations of the character in the SNes, plus it's a dope game overall. I wonder that maybe it should've been included in the video
3:59 there's a meme taken from the 60's Spiderman cartoon that looks exactly like the idle pose of that sprite. The one he is against a big hole in a wall
man I just want to say that I love your video's! you do such a great job with your reviews and it always brings me back to the good old days
+Romone Jones thank you for watching
Best comment evAR!!
Awesome video! I didn’t realize SNES had that many Spidey games. Wish I could have played that last one for SFCom
I have so much nostalgia for Maximum Carnage. Though, I could never get past the part where you first had to climb a building.
Wow the arcade's revenge games version of Wolverine looked EXACTLY like he did in the NES game Wolverine, published by LJN. And what do you know, developed by the same company, software creations.
i just love coming home after a long day and seeing one of your videos pop up! Keep up the good work! Doesnt matter if it is snes/genesis steam or whatever
+zackdufois Thanks Zack
Aside from the slightly less refined art design (& the notoriously disappointing ending), I thoroughly enjoyed Separation Anxiety. There’s no mention of the added feature of having the option to call on fellow Super Heroes to assist (like specials) and collect their icons along the way. Each one had a unique attack to cause excessive damage. That was what made the game different from MC
Awesome video! You have easily become one of my favorite channels man! I haven't seen anyone do the whole 16bit Spider-Man series at once before! I have to agree with you on maximum carnage being the best of the bunch but I think you were a little harsh with separation anxiety...it's not a bad game at all. Yes, you are correct on carnage being way better but I still enjoy the second one a lot too. Whatever, we all have our own opinions.
+Eric Minervini Thanks Eric
I have the "Arcade's revenge" cartridge and I have been trying to finish it for the last 20 years. I dont think I have ever finished any stage after the first one!
...but the music, OMG, its insanely good!
Same. Never beat any stages besides maybe the Wolverine one. Ridiculous fuckin game.
Maximum Carnage has a buch of moves. You have the scorpion type move. You can stand between two enemies and shoot web at both simultaneously and smash them together. You have a shield and can scroll the wall and jump kick off of it. Really great LJN game
I've only played Maximum Carnage recently, since I hadn't heard of it until recently. I did however play Separation Anxiety a lot as a kid and it was a ton of fun mostly because it was the only co-op beat em up my older brother and I had to play and we had a blast with it. A lot of good memories with that game.
Finally beat Maximum Carnage a couple days ago after two decades of on and off attempts.
Congratulations, you wasted your time on a crappy overhyped game.
@@zimtak6418 Said the guy "wasting his time" replying to years old TH-cam comments.
Also, the game's a pretty good beat 'em up.
Sorry you sucked at it. ;)
zimtak64 lol, someone said something two years ago and I have a 'funny' and ironic comment? It's finally my time!!!
But to the original comment, good job man. I beat the game as a kid(somehow) and I tried to do it a few years ago (I was 30ish then) and I had no chance
@@paulk6399 Haha, guess (like most) I just sucked at games as a kid.
After getting over the hump the first time, I can beat it pretty consistently now. Just gotta find those extra lives.
I also beat this game, a tough sob, but pretty fun
Maximum Carnage was the best superhero game of the 90's. Along with X-Men Mutant Apocalypse. Superman was cool too. The Adventures of Batman and Robin. Wildcats. There were quite a few.
I had forgotten everything about the three little piggies song by Green Jelly! Thank for allowing me to rediscover that! 😂😂😂
no different ending tote story in maximum carnage, different levels sometimes depending on who you pick, the last 2 stages you play as both spiderman and venom (you switch between them at will)
Back in high school I played Maximum Carnage every day for a span of months, and during that time I became so proficient at beating it I would actually time my runs and try to beat them - you'd be surprised just how much time you can shave off when you memorize the spacing of the enemies and spam the hell out of the double-enemy attack (standing between enemies and tapping A).
Also, don't go to San Francisco or the Statue of Liberty - you get more power-ups in the alternate levels.
I think the Gambit music stage is one of the best music tracks for any video game, ever. Totally worth listening to. Also, there's a trick in the Gambit level that allows you to earn infinite stars, which means 99 lives in ten to fifteen minutes or so of playing. Game becomes much more manageable with that many attempts.
Yeeees my sentiments exactly ! the gambit song was the best and the level I played the most. Loved both gambit levels the music and action and gameplay. The extra lives was the only way I can beat the game. Couldn’t stand cyclops stage. Would land in the mine carts perfectly and still would fall into the tracks. Storms level was a bitch but I learned the order and best it every time. I still recall as a kid how I didn’t understand what to do in wolverines stage for the longest time. Juggernaut was scary as hell in that level 😂
i remember screen by screem walkthroughs in print magazines of Maximum Carnage and wanting it so bad. The comics already were great and back then it looked like a top notch game to younger me.
Maximum Carnage was pretty awesome, as good as Death and Return of Superman
On the uk version of spider man x men, after you did the first spiderman stage you could choose to do the x men stage in any order. Gambits stage being easily the toughest.
this was the first game i played on the snes as a toddler, with donkey kong country and shaq fu. such a great game.
We got Spider-Man and X-Men back in the day. Man, even for a game of that era it was tough. Even using some cool exploits I found to maximize lives, I never beat that game.
It was really hard to get into because none of the characters really played well to just pick-up-and-go, and everyone played different. But once I got into it, it was pretty fun.
It's called "Seperation Anxiety" because that's what the comic book storyline it's based on was called. While attempting to seperate Eddie Brock from the Venom symbiote, it spaws 5 more symbiotes asexually. Hence the name "separation anxiety".
Maximum Carnage also feature a great black sabbath song as the boss theme, Mob Rules which was a title track.
Hey loving your channel man!
2:03 dopplegangers face lol
Omg, Green Jelly. I haven't heard that name in a long time.
The things I learn from this channel...
If you know your comics; 'Seperation anxiety' is the prequel to maximum carnage and only features spiderman, Venom, the life foundation and its employes(symbionts too) and NO Carnage.
Maximum carnage was and is a good game, the only problem i never finished it. I kinda like the Spider Man game based on the tv show better.
jonathan alvarez bruh I recently bought that game just to beat it 😂🤣😂🤣 I had to finish it I couldn’t finish it as a kid either
Awesome take on these games!
Arcade's Revenge was difficult beyond belief. I remember when my dad came home with it on Sega. I never got past the first Gambit level. Storm always drowned. Cyclops kept falling into the mines, I could never stop the Juggernaut from charging in but I did manage to clear all of the Spider-Man levels. My dad faired better as he actually beat the 2 Cyclops stages. The music kept us going, honestly. Separation Anxiety was another game that was difficult because of the aggressive AI but that's a game that I can actually finish now as an adult.
I only had issues with the two wolverine bosses. Apocolypse almost always killed me, and the one or two times I got to the second stage I couldnt figure out I was supposed to kill jugernaut. Liked the rest of the stages though. Went back and beat it as an adult after watching a couple of videos explaining how to beat the wolverine bosses.
What about the one with the Fantastic Four..?
I remember it as a stand alone title for the SNES, or is it the Animated Series one..?
You forgot to mention that the music for the 2nd boss in Maximum Carnage sounds like The Mob Rules by Black Sabbath that even includes the guitar solo.
Part of the solo sounds like Randy Rhodes doing the latter section of Children of the Grave. Still sounds good though.
Used to *LOVE* Maximum Carnage. Cept I had it on Genesis.
Doom was a grey cart in Europe, at least both copies I've owned were, so I think Maximum Carnage is the only red one here. It's insanely expensive too. D'oh.
If your still having trouble beating maximum carnage try it on the Sega flashback. 10 save slots you can use anywhere in the game and the rewind function.
The art on The Anazing Spider-Man game is made by Mark Bagley. Former Amazing Spider-Man comic in the early 90s.🎄🕸🕷.
I freakin' love Maximum Carnage. I owned the Sega Genesis version. Is one of my favorite games. I was so into it back then I could beat it without loosing a single life.
2:09 I remember! Love you bro :D
Great review!!
Fun Fact about Green Jelly : the lead singer is Maynard of the band Tool
Maximum Carnage is pretty cool even for someone who is only mildly interested in the comic series. I noticed the average price went up after infinity war came out
Spidey games are always fun. Ive just completed Spider-man The Animated Series. But Maximum Carnage is a classic!
Clicked because I saw Maximum Carnage. I haven't thought of that game in over 20 years.
I've been trying to beat Maximum Carnage my whole life.
That game is tough, lol
True... Still can't beat it
It's definitely tough. The trick is to find the secret rooms and grab all the super hero assists hidden (usually high up) throughout the levels.
Someone probably already said this but I can't be arsed to read hundreds of comments first: In Maximum Carnage, both heroes did have a special move. They were both spinning AOE attacks, and both required a requisite amount of health to activate.
Agreed! Maximum carnage was the best spiderman game. I remember the day it came out and my friend got it. i didnt leave his house for 3 days lol
Spiderman vs. Kingpin on Genesis is worth checking out.
Back then I could never find a copy of Maximum Carnage. I did manage to find Separation Anxiety at a pawn shop for $10 so I picked it up and me and my brother played the hell out of it.
Arcade's Revenge is worth the buy, if only for the soundtrack by the Follin Brothers.
Funny you should mention the Genesis X-Men game when talking about the Spiderman Animated Series game as they both were made by the same developer, Western Technologies Inc.
I was NOT ready for that quick "SNES Drunk" intro 🤯😳
Best old school spiderman game was for Sega CD. Spider vs kingpin. Game was awesome.
Capcom's War of the Gems is a decent Spiderman showing...
Yea. How did that game get left out??
It got its own video th-cam.com/video/ISrXnnewt74/w-d-xo.html
I remember in third grade, my best friend was able to buy this for about $50 brand new after saving up his "good report card money". We were all so excited, he brought the red cartridge to school just to let us see it and hold it. One of the best SNES games of all time.
Fun fact: in the Green Jelly song Three Little Pigs, Maynard James Keenan of Tool did the vocals for "not by the hair of my chinny chin chin..."
Maximum Carnage isn't as hard as it gets credit for. You have to know where the 1ups and extra heroes are. Carnage is tough but the trick is to keep switching between Spiderman and Venom to get that second of invulnerability, and be patient. Do that stuff and it's beatable.
I remeber there being a jumping spinning kick Spiderman could do at the cost of life in Maximum carnage. Does anyone else?
In the soundtrack there is a 16 bit rendition of the song "Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath
the key to beating maximum carnage is to get every single secret and extra life/continue. i beat the game once and will never play it again. the music is so kick ass to play on guitar
I never liked single player side scrolling beat'em ups so while maximum carnage did have better presentation, separation anxiety was just more fun. Aside from all SA bosses being carnage clones, it just feels more fun to play with a friend but both games had room for improvement.
in lethal foes you can change controls and difficulty
you should have seen the tick game, that was epic
Maximum Carnage was great but I agree that it's very hard. One of my favorites beat-em up is actually The Peace Keeper.
Maximum Carnage, while very hard, it's very fun if you improve on it enough.
Maximum Carnage one of the best SNES games. I downloaded it for my FunKey S to re live my childhood.
Great video💯💖😎
Such a shame maximum carnage wasn't co-op. Also, kinda sad they even reused carnage as the main antagonist/last boss in separation anxiety.
That’s how the comic went.
@@aelechko didn't even know that but still kinda sucks the only two games like this have the same last boss
Maximum Carnage also samples the theme from Enter the Dragon.
This is the best SNES game ever!- I meant maximum carnage
I loved maximum carnage on my sega genesis back then. I could just never beat it and eventually gave up. Same with the spider man and x-men game.
Maximum Carnage is my Favorate SpiderMan SNES game out of all of em, It feels original even more than the SpiderMan Animated Series game, I love playing as Venom the Best and Venom and Carnage are my best favorate Spiderman Villains!. I learnt too find secret lives but that was a weird difficuity but oh well,
How did LJN make Maximum Carnage? A pretty good and faithful game.
I was only able to beat maximum carnage with spider man! It was a tough one! Those hidden rooms, though...
James Rolfe considers Maximum Carnage to be rare gem of LJN games.
They do have special moves. Push jump and punch at same time
maximum carnage was insane, gonna have to try to beat it some day, if nothing else its an og achievement.
Oh, the memories!!!!
I like Lethal Foes mostly because it feels most like the modern games in gameplay. Maximum Carnage is 2nd due to how much more effort was put into it than Seperation Anxiety... And some parts wall climbing was actually neccessary unlike Seperation Anxiety (as far as I could tell) And SA at #3 because I like Spiderman and Venom and a co-op Beatem up for the spidey universe is actually pretty cool.. Although I'm not gonna lie gets pretty dull and repetitive unless you figure out all your moves and even still.. Your gonna want save states and come back. It's only for the best to take breaks. Lol
you: if you want one of the red cartridges for your snes collection buy this instead of doomme: I thought doom was the only snes cartridge that was red
had and loved Venom and Spider-Man in Separation Anxiety.
Maximum Carnage's theme song has been stuck in my head since I was like 12. A real banger, as the kids say... probably.
What’s weird about Maximum Carnage is it’s an awesome game that was made by LJN.
Spidey has a special move where he shoots webs at two baddies on either side and then whips them together in the air. Venom has the same move too.
Need a SegaDrunk edit for this, whit all spidy games for Genesis....
Had a blast playing maximum carnage.
I always thought Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety were the same game... I remember my sister and I played Separation Anxiety. We almost finished it, but died on the final level. I'll have to check out Maximum Carnage though.
