Spider-Man - Venom - Maximum Carnage (SNES) price, value & rarity
An Acclaim brawler adapting the Maximum Carnage arc, here in the Europe version, with its famous translucent red cartridge. Faithful to the comics and playable across two characters, it carries genuine aura among Marvel fans and 16-bit brawler lovers. In PAL, shorter print runs and multilingual manuals make the clean-boxed complete less common than in the States, while the red cart stays the visual draw that seduces collectors.
Is Spider-Man - Venom - Maximum Carnage still worth playing in 2026?
A beat 'em up from Software Creations and LJN, Maximum Carnage adapts the Marvel crossover where Spider-Man and Venom join forces against Carnage and his allies. The hulking sprites taken from the panels, the snappy handling and the Green Jelly metal soundtrack give the action character. Repetitive combat and a fearsome difficulty wear the formula thin solo. A solid brawler for fans of the web slinger and lovers of comic adaptations on 16 bit.
