About Arachnophobia

Arachnophobia is a DOS action game adapted from its film counterpart. The setting involves an infestation of South American spiders across various U.S. locations, including farms, houses, and public buildings.

Gameplay revolves around clearing these areas using a pesticide called Toxi-Max. The player controls a character from a side-view perspective, with a core mechanic of timely pesticide application to fend off spider attacks. This creates a simple reaction-based experience. An arachno-detector is available to warn of approaching spiders.
