Arachnophobia is an action game released in 1991 for MS-DOS. It is an arcade-style horror title based on the Hollywood film of the same name. The game was developed by BlueSky Software, Inc. and published by Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.

The primary objective is to cleanse these areas using a pesticide called Toxi-Max. Gameplay focuses on timely reactions, as the character must spray the pesticide to defend against approaching spiders. A device called an arachno-detector provides warnings of incoming threats, aiding the player in timing their actions. Progression involves moving through different infested settings, with the core loop revolving around spotting spiders and using the pesticide before they attack.
