30 Years of Cool Spot on the Sega Genesis

January 30, 2023 By Dan Finnen

Yes, you read that right, somehow it’s been 30 years since Cool Spot came out for the Sega Genesis. Despite most company mascot themed games being nothing more than shovelware, I remembered playing quite a bit of Cool Spot. Over the years, I noticed that quite a few other people had fond memories of this game too. So I went back and took a look at the game three decades later to see how it holds up. Also, the manual for this game is just wild. Check out the full video below.
