Cool Spot

About

"Cool Spot" is a platform game developed by Virgin Games, starring the 7 Up mascot, Spot. In the game, players control Spot, who can jump and attack by throwing soda bubbles. The primary goal of each level is to rescue other cool spots by collecting a certain number of "spots." The game was a commercial success, selling one million copies, and was praised by critics for its enjoyable gameplay and graphics, even with its prominent product placement. A notable difference in the game existed between its North American and European releases. In Europe, the 7 Up branding was removed and replaced with generic or Virgin-branded items. This was because Fido Dido, not Spot, was the official 7 Up mascot in international markets at the time. The game's success led to a sequel titled "Spot Goes to Hollywood."
