Can't believe cool spot had his own game. This little mascot for 7UP, was hilarious in the soda beverage commercials, and in this game it is really fun. I remember it being really challenging, but really fun at the same time. This is one of those games that goes out of its way to test your trigger fingers and how quick you can take out enemies, jump over and onto stuff, and collect items. Its a good game and believe it or not they actually made another game about this crazy little guy called Spot goes Hollywood! Yes you read it correctly it sounds like a joke but that is correct. Like the Toejam and Earl games the 2nd one is way different than the 1st but with really good game-play and even better graphics. Recommend both to anybody who likes old school shooter-adventure games.

The game came quite quickly, in decent condition. It was exactly how the seller said it would be. The game itself isn't as fun as I remember it being when I was younger, but oh well lol.

You know that spot on the 7-up cans? Apparently it decided to come to life and take a walk. But there's lots of danger, so shoot 7-up-like fiz at enemies. Fun game despite how it sounds, way fun game.

Cool Spot was a mascot for 7 Up beginning in the second half of the 1980's. During this time, the red spot in the 7 Up logo was anthropomorphized: given arms, legs, a mouth, and sunglasses. Many choose to link this design to the 'cool mascot' trend of the time started mainly by the success of Sonic the Hedgehog.
British video games developer Virgin Interactive produced a platform game starring the 7 Up Spot, entitled Cool Spot. Set in a vivid beach/seaport, it was praised for its challenging gameplay and smooth graphics, as well as most of its background music by Tommy Tallarico, for which it won awards. The game won many fans, even among those who were turned off by the commercial connections or in areas where the mascot was not used.[citation needed] It was originally programmed by David Perry for the Mega Drive/Genesis, and then ported by other teams to other systems.
Cool Spot was released for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, and Super NES, in 1993. It was released for DOS and Game Boy in 1994
