The latest Tangled Web article mentioned these, and I remember these CD-Roms quite well. I had all four on my Windows 95 computer. Did you have them?

Back in 1984 I couldn’t find Amazing Spider-Man 252 anywhere. I then found this in the back of a Marvel Comic and thought, finally I can get it by eating a bunch of Cookie Crisp. […]

This is a video game ad that probablly appeared in GamePro back in 1991. This video game was a bit odd. It had Spidey teaming up with Black Cat, Hawkeye and the Submariner? I played […]

I think I actually used this ad to subscribe to Amazing Spider-Man for the first time.

I have the Spider-man and Iron man CD-Roms, but I also have the original comics as well. I am looking to break them out to read them to my kids at night:)
I mentioned in the article that these were some of the first Spider-Man stories I ever read.
The Spider-Man one included two stories: ASM 238-239 and ASM 39-40. In order to access the Lee/ Romita Green Goblin story, I remember I had to click on a flashback panel in the Hobgoblin story. It took me a while to find it, so for a while, I thought I was the victim of false advertising.
I’m not a hundred percent sure but I think they edited out a few pages from ASM 239. It had Peter visting Madame Web in the hospital, tying up some loose ends from “Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut.” Those pages were also missing from the first Origin of the Hobgoblin TPB. In both cases, it makes sense since it’s a subplot that has nothing to do with the Goblins.
