MALIBU, Calif., November 10, 2004 -- The newest title from JAKKS Pacific, Inc.'s award-winning TV Games(TM) line has officially hit retail shelves for the holidays. Spider-Man TV Games(TM), based on one of Marvel Enterprises, Inc.'s renowned Super Hero franchises, is a plug-it-in and play gaming unit that contains multiple original Spider-Man themed games all in a single joystick that looks like the popular web-slinging hero.

All that is needed are batteries and a TV -- no videogame consoles or gaming cartridges are required. Simply plug Spider-Man TV Games into the A/V jacks of any standard television set, and turn it on to morph into the neighborhood crime fighter and battle sinister enemies from the Marvel Universe including Green Goblin, Venom and more in five action-packed games, including:

Streets of the City(TM): Spider-Man scours rooftops, crawls up skyscrapers and web-slings into warehouses battling thugs and villainous kingpins. Defeat the crime boss at the end of each of the four levels to move onto the next.

Spider Training(TM): Hone Spider-Man's web slinging skills at this fast-paced target practice by firing webs at the villain targets as they appear. Shoot enough villains to get to the next level but don't shoot the good guys or it's game over!

Venom's Vindication(TM): Venom is on the loose dropping radioactive bombs on the city and only Spider-Man's webs can stop him. Spider-Man has to shoot webs to catch the bombs and watch out for thugs trying to stop him at the same time!

Vulture's Venture(TM): The Vulture has trapped Spider-Man at a construction site! Spider-Man is hanging upside down from a steel girder and The Vulture has missile launchers aimed right at him. Catch each missile with a web sling to stop them from destroying the girder and keep Spider-Man from falling.

Escape From the Sewers(TM): The Lizard is running rampant planting bombs in the sewers beneath New York City. Spider-Man must find and defuse each bomb with his web-sling before the countdown reaches zero while keeping an eye out for the lizards trying to stop him!

Spider-Man TV Games retails for approximately $20, and is now available at mass merchants, electronics, toy and specialty retailers nationwide.
