A mascot platformer pleasant to look at but flavorless. Not bad, just forgettable despite the polished tech.

Is Cool Spot still worth playing in 2026?

A platformer published by Virgin around the 7 Up advertising mascot, Cool Spot impresses with its dazzling graphics, from David Perry and his team before Earthworm Jim. The smooth animation of the little red dot, the bright colours and the catchy soundtrack make it a technical showcase. The gameplay stays classic and the difficulty fairly high, without revolutionising the genre. A polished, charming platformer to recommend for fans of slick 16 bit games and curiosities born from 90s marketing.
