Spider-Man (PC)

Just one of Spidey's many adventures. This game was originally developed for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 but it was later ported to the Dreamcast, PC, Macintosh and Game Boy Color. This particular article will be covering the PC version of the game.

Hidden Dev Comments
Searching the executable with a hex editor, there seems to be a lot of random unused text. That alone isn't the interesting part. The real interesting part are the places in the executable that contain some dev comments. Some of the comments seem to range from frustration with coding to being angry with an employee. The comments are listed in order according to the hex value they were found at.

Removed Cheat Code?
As seen in the .exe file with the rest of the game's cheats

J James Jewett RULUR

Apparently this would unlock Joel James Jewett, the head of Neversoft in the character viewer. However, entering this cheat doesn't do anything.
