Description of Arachnophobia
BlueSky Software, Inc. gave birth to Arachnophobia in 1991, with the help of Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc. as publisher. Cool action game, the player evolve in a arcade, horror theme with a side-scrolling perspective.
This PC adaptation of the bizarre Disney movie of the same name is fun, if a little too frustrating due to unintuitive controls and way too many spiders. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has hired your extermination firm to destroy the deadly Queen spiders and their lethal offspring before they take over the country. Once you wipe out the threat in the U.S., it's time to head out to the Amazon rain forest to destroy the entire herd... which is where the action gets really frustrating due to huge amounts of spiders that seem to descend from every direction. If you kill all the spiders in the house, you are congratulated by sampled speech and put back into the neighborhood ready to enter the next house. Some houses contain items that you can collect to help you in your extermination.The humorous sampled speech is a nice touch, as is the realistic movements of the spiders. A fun action game, if you're confident of your reflexes :)

Does anyone know the controls for this game, I know that ENTER sprays with the gun and SPACE drops a bug bomb; but I can't figure out how to jump and stomp. You'd think it'd be the UP and DOWN ARROWS but for some reason, it's not. Plus a spider ID chart would be good to get past the protection screen (I installed fresh using DOSBox to see if that was the issue with the controls but can't get past the spider ID screen to test this theory).
