Item Description
A soft-drink mascot had no business starring in one of the best-reviewed platformers of 1993, yet here is Cool Spot, the red dot from the 7 Up logo, sunglasses on and attitude fully intact. Virgin Games built the game around him with a team that included designers David Bishop and Bill Anderson and programmer David Perry, who would soon lead Virgin's Aladdin on the Genesis and then found Shiny Entertainment, the studio behind Earthworm Jim. That pedigree shows in every bounce.
Spot is tiny, and the world around him is played at full, oversized scale, starting on a sun-soaked beach. He jumps, climbs objects by leaping in front of them and fires fizzy soda bubbles in any direction, which makes him far more agile than his round frame suggests. Each level sets a quota of cool spots to collect before you can free one of Spot's caged friends, and the target climbs as the game goes on, all against a time limit with flagpoles serving as checkpoints. Even the health meter has personality: a Spot face that bends forward and slumps a little more with every hit.
Gather enough spots and you reach the Bonus Stage, where hidden letters spell out UNCOLA, a wink at 7 Up's famous advertising slogan, and grab them all to earn a continue that drops you back into the level where you lost your last life. It is a smart loop that rewards thorough exploration rather than just a dash to the exit.
Critics loved it. Mega and Sega Pro both scored the Genesis version 93%, GamesMaster later placed it on its 1996 list of the Top 100 Games of All Time, and it sold a million copies, enough to earn a 1995 sequel, Spot Goes to Hollywood. Played today, it is the clearest proof that the licensed-mascot boom could produce a polished, satisfying platformer, and a bright, breezy showcase of Virgin's American studio in the years when it was making some of the best-looking games on the Genesis.

About the game
