Replay – Cool Spot

In our first exclusively junk food-related episode of Replay, we decided to take a look at a couple of 16-bit licensed platformers. For the main segment, we popped in Cool Spot, a 7up-themed game that several of us have fond memories of. Is it actually still good? Well, have any of you bought 7up in the last decade?

Watch below to see Jeff Cork, Ben Reeves, Joe Juba, and myself dive back into the fizzy waters of "the uncola."

  • I used to play cool spot so much as a kid.
  • constantly refreshing GI's home page before bed pays off yet again! this should be good, i lol'd at that picture. sprite is WAY better than 7up, everyone in australia knows this.
  • That spot is pretty cool!

  • Played the SNES version of Cool Spot when I was a kid. Can't wait to watch this.
  • Jeff Cork needs to be on more Replays.

    EDIT: I DEMAND A SUPER REPLAY OF THE ROULETTE GAME!
  • I used to love this game.

  • i wanna see a replay of mickeys wild adventure on ps1, was a really good platformer and it's pretty much the perfect era for replay
  • I absolutely loved this game growing up. I hate the Docks. Damn flies >:O

  • Nice new replay

  • I fizzed in my pants.

  • I think I rented this game for the SNES when I was a kid, loved it. The roulette had me cracking up.

  • is dan dying? he coughs a lot in this xD

  • 7-up rules and so does cool spot and Mick & Mack: Global Gladiators.

    I drink 7 up all the time until then it stopped being cool when it got rid of the spot.

  • That roulette was amazing!

  • The video isn't working for me. Tried it on Low, Med, and High and none of them work. =(
  • It's alright Dan, I've always pronounced it M.C. Kids too, because that's how it's spelled on the game itself.
  • At least Dan was there to keep it classy. I also don't remember both games being that bad, but then again I don't really remember both games. Next can we do: Captain Novolin (the diabetic hero) SNES Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus (the asthmatic dinosaur) SNES Heck I even think the Dental Dinos from the 90s had their own game on that console.
  • I remember playing Cool Spot on SNES as a kid and being amazed by the graphics. "Make 7 UP YOURS!" That Orlando Magic guy vanished off the face of the Earth.

  • Ha ha!  It's always a treat when Ben is in an episode.

    Hey, wouldn't it be funny if somebody randomly said, "Midget in my taco!"?

  • Why do you gotta hate on 7up?
