Spider-Man for the Atari 2600 is a very simple game. Spider-Man must climb a building and stop the Hobgoblin. However, bad controls lie in his way. After he reaches the top of the building, he is sent to the start of another building which is the same as before, but with a different shade of colour.
This TAS displays inhumane reflexes to help Spider-Man reach the top. Anyone who has played this game knows how annoying the controls are. This TAS was made to test Atari TASing, but if you know the game, it will be fun. It's also funny to see Spider-Man stutter like this. The AVGN reviewed it too.

FractalFusion: Rejecting since this submission is faster.

I love how the image in the encode has nothing to do with this ~~crappy~~ game.

Voted meh. I mean considering how awful controls are, that ranks a yes, but the entertainment value was a no... so they cancel each other and leave a Meh. :( Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Doesn't the game increase in difficulty after the first level?

I believe the game loops endlessly, so even if it increases in difficulty, unless there's a kill screen, then there's no real ending.

Yes, but if the next levels are more difficult, then maybe the stopping point should be when the game is no longer more challenging
