    Default Cool Spot

    Like the title suggests, in Cool Spot, you get to control the cool little red spot that walks and wears a pair of shades. Seeing that this unsung celebrity has been stuck on billions of 7-up cans and has been seen in a few commercials, the makers decided that he deserved his very own video game at long last.

    Yes, a very fitting review to one of my personal favorites. The music from the level "Off Da Wall" is both smooth and memorable. Definitely a game worth owning.

    Whatever happened to anthropomorphized corporate logos?

    A Joe Camel video game would have been amazing!! You could be Joe Camel and the goal of the game could be to get as many young children to smoke as humanly possible. It would have been amazing!

    Your weapons: the smooth, mellow flavor of Camel cigs; endless and effortless cool; and a bazooka.

    the bosses could have been anti-smoking ''uncool'' people; the first boss has to be meddling parents, then a D.A.R.E. officer and so on.

    The final level should take place in Congress with Joe Camel fighting congressman and senate committees as it builds up to the final boss: THE SURGEON GENERAL! Who will have a rocket sled; and missile launchers!

    I really love those early Virgin games. They showcased what the Genesis could do with detailed sprites and animation.

    Anybody played the sequel on Genny? It's got that pseudo-3D view like Sonic 3D Blast.

    Mediocre action game with great graphics. I know most games don't stray too far off from a single game play formula, But this one gets old real fast.
    By level 5, I just wanted to beat the game and be done with.

    Some programming flaws that affect the game:-
    -Enemies re-spawning at their original starting location when the player goes slightly off screen.
    -Enemies regenerate health if the player goes little off screen, leading to frustration.
    -Camera is horrid
    -Not being able to look down or up when hanging on ropes.
    -Enemies can shoot you through the barrier.

    Its okay but it does get repetitive later on,i think the character is unusual and funny but i think i still prefer Robocod.

    Would be better if you create a thread and post all the wallpapers there I think.

    Not to long ago, I actually wondered why people did not post fan content on the respective game review pages. It makes total sense if you consider that someone is looking for content regarding one of their favourite games. In any case, smurted I just took a look at your video content! The videos that your team produced thus far are fantastic! Very stellar material in your portfolio!
    The fictional character Gordon Gekko once stated,"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good". Gekko is sometimes unfairly judged. There is a big difference between maintaining one's moral compass in business and that which operates in one's personal life. In business, the reality is that if you are not willing to crush your competitor, you might as well get out of the game while you're still ahead.

    Licensed mascot games like this usually suck. Was surprised with this one back in the day.
