After 24 years as lost media, a legendary cutscene from a PS1 Spider-Man game that was delayed and censored in the wake of 9/11 has finally been found and preserved online

While we've gotten plenty of excellent Spider-Man games over the years, Spider-Man 2: Enter: Electro for PS1 is not a particularly notable moment in the character's history – except for the part where it was delayed and censored in the wake of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. For years, fans have sought a legendary lost cutscene said to be in the original version of the game, and it's only now been saved from the realm of lost media by what amounts to pure happenstance.

Enter: Electro was published by Activision and developed by Vicarious Visions as a sequel to Neversoft's 2000 Spider-Man game. While the original game got strong reviews and released across a wide array of platforms, Enter: Electro got a somewhat more tepid response upon its PS1-exclusive release – being released in a year with a new console generation against games ranging from Halo to Grand Theft Auto 3 will do that, I guess.
