About this game

Black Widow is an arcade shooter from Atari released in 1981. You control a spider defending its web as enemy bugs invade.

Move around the web with the left joystick and fire in different directions using the right joystick. Bugs can be destroyed or avoided, though leaving them alive gives the invulnerable Bug Slayer a chance to defeat them. Afterward, you can pursue the Bug Slayer’s prey and claim its points.
