Disclaimer: I could be wrong on some details. So take this post with a grain of salt.
Welcome back to another installment of Raiders of the Lost Media. This time I'm talking about another video game only this one isn't lost it was released but it was edited then it's original version was leaked. I was going to write about James Cameron's Spider-Man movie but since this segment doesn't solely focus on movies I switched it for a Spider-Man video game. I may eventually tell you about that film but until then I'm going to talk about this. So let me tell you about the video game Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro but the pre - 9/11 version.
Part One - What Was Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro?
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro was a 2001 action - adventure video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision for the PlayStation. It was a sequel to Neversoft's Spider-Man which was released the previous year.
Part Two - The Story & Other Bosses
The game's story is Spider-Man must stop Electro from obtaining a power source named the Bio - Nexus Device. Besides Electro other bad guys were The Lizard, Shocker, Sandman, and Hammerhead.
Part Three - Delay & Changes
The game's original release date was August 26, 2001 but after the September 11 attacks the game was pulled from stores and re-released on October 17, 2001. Between August & October Activision halted production of the game and wanted all references to buildings that resembled the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center removed. Many things were re-edited such as cutscenes and modifying the model of the World Trade Center by adding a large bridge to it. At one point in the game Electro would have shouted On top of the world! after a fight with Spider-Man. The line was clue for Spidey that he was going to the Twin Towers. The original ending to the game was Thor is credited for defeating Electro. Thor is here because he would have appeared in a segment where he talks to Spider-Man after he defeated Hyper-Electro. This was removed because it took place on top of the World Trade Center. Four levels also had their names changed because the developers thought they were related to 9/11. Crash Flight was changed to Wind Tunnel, Downward Spiral to The Corkscrew, Aces High to The Gauntlet, and Top of the World to The Best Laid Plans.
Part Four - Leaked
This version of the game would remain lost until 2015 when a Spanish YouTuber named ElVicioGamer leaked the game on his channel. Here's a link https://m.youtube.com/watchv=4TSiCXCSkgU
So that concludes another Raiders of the Lost Media. Next time I go back to films. Which movie it will it be? I honestly don't know yet but when I get it all figured I'll tell you.
