Game description:

Released by BlueSky Software in 1991, Arachnophobia is an action game for DOS based on the comedy-horror film of the same name. You step into the role of an exterminator tasked with clearing out a deadly South American spider infestation that has taken over various locations.

How to play

Your objective is to explore each level, from houses to barns, and eradicate the spiders before the infestation spreads. You are equipped with bug spray to eliminate them, but you must manage your limited ammunition and collect refills as you go. Navigate the environments carefully, as coming into contact with the venomous spiders will drain your health.
