Spider-Man - Venom - Maximum Carnage (SNES) price, value & rarity
The NTSC version of Acclaim's Maximum Carnage brawler, famous for its translucent red cartridge standing out from the usual gray. Faithful to the Spider-Man/Venom crossover, it remains a must for Marvel fans on SNES. On the US market the loose cart is widespread and its collecting appeal rests on that unique color; the graded sealed copy and the flawless cardboard-box complete concentrate value, the red cart boosting visual draw.
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.
