Collector interest

Cool Spot on Game Boy, the US Virgin Interactive release, stars the 7 Up mascot in one of the finest advergames of the 8-bit era. Smooth animation, careful level design: an advertising game that outlived its marketing purpose. Its collecting interest comes from that rare status, an ad that became a respected game, and lasting nostalgic demand, more than from genuine scarcity.
