MAGE CAST episode #074 – “Games On Consoles Deader Than Uncle Ben” (Spider-Man)

2 min read
On this Spider-Man podcast: the reason for the wacky controls in early Spidey games as well as a conversation on relatability and retro.

The uniqueness of Spider-Man as a character, the difficulty adapting him to games, the Uncle Ben storytelling trope, an overview of more Spidey games than you can shake a web cartridge at, choosing between Tobey, Andrew, and Tom, and what IS retro anyway…? I’m the Well-Red Mage and this is MAGE CAST feat. voice actor @Voxgizer! Enjoy our Spider-Man podcast!

Red formerly ran The Well-Red Mage and now serves The Pixels as founder, writer, editor, and podcaster. He has undertaken a seemingly endless crusade to talk about the games themselves in the midst of a culture obsessed with the latest controversy, scandal, and news cycle about harassment, toxicity, and negativity.
