About this game

Arachnophobia is an action arcade game based on the film of the same name. You play as Delbert McClintock, the film’s bug-exterminator, tasked with protecting the United States from an invasion of killer spiders.

Delbert must travel through houses in eight towns, eliminating the spiders in each location. Completing the campaign leads to a United Nations declaration that the spiders must become extinct, followed by a mission with Dr. Atherton to South America, the spiders’ home.
