Spiders has a fully bitmapped display and all sprite drawing is handled by the CPU hence no gfxdecode is done on the sprite ROMS, the CPU accesses them via PIA2. Screen is arranged in three memory areas with three bits being combined from each area to produce a 3bit colour send directly to the screen.
- 29th April 1998: Mike Coates dumped Spiders (set 2).
