Spider-Man: The Sinister Six

A PC game from 1996 that you don't know and probably don't care about, Spider-Man: The Sinister Six is unknown for good reason. It's a horrible game. Very boring and very stupid. The game is part click adventure (as in one part is slightly a click adventure and the rest you just talk to people by clicking on them), part action, and part shithouse.

The levels are ugly, the puzzles are insultingly stupid, and the whole game is just fucking dumb. What qualifies as action is amazingly repetitive and just needless. The closest thing to describing it would be rail shooter, but a lot of it is moving your mouse to dodge things, like a Sonic bonus stage, and even then the game just doesn't care where you move your mouse. No click adventuring (unless you count moving across the room as adventuring), and no action only leaves one thing.
