Cool Spot

Cool Spot, released in 1994 by Virgin Games, is a vibrant and stylish platformer starring the red, sunglasses-wearing mascot of 7UP. Set in a series of colorful and whimsical environments, the game follows Cool Spot on a mission to rescue his fellow Spots who have been captured and caged throughout the levels.

Gameplay focuses on precise platforming, fast-paced action, and collecting enough “spots” in each stage to unlock the exit. Armed with fizz-powered projectiles, Cool Spot battles crabs, toys, and other quirky enemies across beaches, docks, toy stores, and soda-themed worlds—all set to a funky, energetic soundtrack.

Praised for its smooth animations, catchy music, and polished design, Cool Spot is more than just a mascot game—it’s a genuinely fun and well-crafted platformer. Its charm, humor, and accessible gameplay made it a standout title among early ‘90s PC action games.
