Anybody else remember this? It's 29 fucking years old, but I had it when I was a kid, so, when I found a complete copy at a local thrift store on Monday for a mere dollar, I snapped that shit right up (I gave away or sold my original copy many years ago, but this could even be that same one for all I know, stranger things have happened). The previous owner applied the labels incorrectly (there's supposed to be a green and orange nest on both sides of the web, not two green on one side and two orange on the other), but, otherwise, it's in pretty much perfect condition.
The gameplay is pretty simple. You win by either successfully dislodging all of your opponent's spiders (there's only room for one foot peg in each hole on the web) or by reaching their nest. You can move two spider legs per turn (but not the same leg twice), and reinserting any dislodged spider legs on any of your dangling spiders uses up your entire turn, so, there's some strategy involved.
It was the perfect buy for the Eve of Halloween if nothing else.
