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.
Treasure continued its streak of quality titles on the Genesis with Dynamite Headdy, a quirky platformer that had players tossing their character’s head around at enemies. Sounds a bit like Decap Attack, doesn’t it? Trust us friend, you couldn’t be more wrong. Read the review and then find yourself a copy. You can thank us later.
Considering this 1992 Genesis game was produced by EA, a company more commonly associated with the sporting genre, it makes it all the more surprising that they produced this slick, child orientated platform game. From the super sickly storyline, through the chunky cartoon characters and finishing with some of the jauntiest music I have ever heard coming from a 16-bit system this screams “for under-10’s” only. But look past that initial cute and fluffy exterior and you’ll find an engrossing and challenging game that is definitely not just for kids.
