Spider-Man is a vertical scrolling action game programmed by Laura Nikolich for the Atari 2600, and released in 1982 by Parker Brothers.

[3] The player controls Spider-Man, who is attempting to scale a building and defuse bombs planted by the Green Goblin.

Near the top of each building, the layout changes to a series of girders where the Goblin has planted many small bombs to hinder Spidey's progress.

[5] Once the fuse is lit, there is a limited time to reach the super bomb before it detonates, claiming one of Spidey's lives.

Upon defeating the Goblin (which involves simply avoiding him) and defusing his super bomb, the game starts over at the next level, which may feature faster-moving and/or more instances of the Green Goblin, taller buildings, taller scaffold sections or a quicker-depleting supply of web fluid.

[6] Laura Nikolich was hired by recruiters by Parker Brothers when she met the team at a job fair.

She chose him as due to how much easier it would be to have him in the game as they could use the same algorithm that the team used for Spider-Man to fly the Green Goblin around the tower.

[11] Following her work on Spider-Man, Nikolich would develop a game based on the Care Bears franchise for the Atari 2600 which did not get released, and a port of Frogger II: Threeedeep!

[2][7] The game's iteration of the Green Goblin makes a cameo appearance in the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
