It's been a long time and I don't remember much, but could this be a port of the Questprobe: Spider-Man game by Scott Adams? (The guy with the camera would be Peter Parker.) There were a series of three of these. They featured the Hulk, Spider-Man, and the Thing and Human Torch (of the Fantastic Four). I know they were released for the Apple II, C-64, and PC. I don't think I ever finished any of them. 8( There was also an accompanying series of comic books. It was supposed to last for 12 issues/games, but apparently they didn't sell or something. The fourth story, featuring the X-Men, was eventually printed in an issue of MARVEL FANFARE. (Apparently the story had been completed before the game.) The Chief Examiner's fate was eventually revealed, some years later, in an issue or three of QUASAR. -- Lee K.
