Cool Spot - Continue?
He's Cool Because They Told You So
by Dominic
Remember Cool Spot? He was that little red dot on the 7up logo. Once in a while he'd do something in a 7up commercial, and it was usually pretty cool, as the name would imply. But do you remember when he had his own video game? Yep, a soft drink mascot with his own game. It was the 90s. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the "Make 7up Yours" guy. Say, when's the last time you saw 7up? Come to think of it...when's the last time you saw Orlando Jones? Someone call Robert Stack.
Every week on Continue?, we sit people down to play a random old school game for 45 minutes. We're talking NES, SNES, Genesis old here. There is one question we are trying to answer - do we want to stop playing or continue?

Good job guys
Haha - this one had some great cracks. He took his eyeballs off, OMG You're only 20% cool!, Coca Cola is the last boss, etc. This was a good vid.
I remember seeing this game back in the day and staying away, because I knew it was a western platformer. I mean seriously; they're all awful (except for MAYBE Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures). They spend too much time working on animation, and when they're overly animated, the play control suffers. Not to mention the level designs, which usually suffer from platforms not being clearly defined. This is just like Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, or Mickey Mania.
Man, Mickey Mania. You guys should play some old Mickey games, especially since Epic Mickey is coming out in November. Mickey Mania (SNES), Magical Quest (SNES), Mickey's Great Circus Mystery (SNES), Castle of Illusion (GEN), World of Illusion (GEN)...there's definitely some good ones in there.
Ooh. Or Mickey's Safari in Letterland (NES). Man, there actually a lot of Mickey games. I gotta stop trying to remember 'em :D

I had Spot: The Video Game for the NES, which was basically a board game.
