Spider-Man Dev Opens Up On The Hellish Experience Of Making Licenced Video Games In The '90s
"THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, THIS MUST HAPPEN"

This is about the production of Spider-Man and the X-men on SNES, being made in 1992. Still can’t believe games like this were made by three people. That fax is savage!
Used a slightly different thread title to the article title to make it clear it’s not about the modern Spidey games.
Kevin Edwards, who worked on the title, has been sharing some memories of its development, which took place 30 years ago. A team of just three people made the game and Edwards has shared a fax from Acclaim (publisher of Arcade's Revenge via its LJN label) which illustrates the kind of intense pressure developers faced at this moment in time
Our personal favourite comment from the fax – which, as we'll sure you've noticed, features a lot of capital letters – is: "NINTENDO HAS INFORMED US THAT WE CAN'T USE THE TERM 'MURDERWORLD' PLEASE REMOVE IT."
