Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety

About

Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety is a side-scrolling brawler where you play as either Spider-Man or his parasitic adversary Venom. The plot revolves around stopping a group called the Life Foundation, who’ve stolen symbiotes to build a super-soldier army. Fight through varied levels like city streets and underground bases, using punches, kicks, and combo moves. Collect special icons to call in help from Marvel allies including Daredevil and Captain America, turning the tide in tough fights. Developed by Software Creations Ltd. and released in 1995, this game ran on PC, SNES, and Genesis. It leans into 90s beat ’em up traditions with direct combat and comic book flair. Players appreciate the dual protagonists and the chance to swap between hero and villain roles. While the graphics and mechanics feel dated by modern standards, it remains a niche pick for fans of retro brawlers with Marvel ties.
