Who Remembers?: Cool Spot (video game)…
Remember when 7-Up had a video game that was actually BETTER than the Chester Cheetah video game? WHAAAAAAT?

Remember when 7-Up was the coolest soft drink and you and your friends would chug copious amounts of it et nausium? Me neither.
But, I’ll bet you DO remember the 7-Up “Cool Spot” video game for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo.
Besides being an almost exact clone of Vectorman a cheap commercial tie-in, Cool Spot was actually a very decent and fun game.
In it you played as the round, red spot known as…Spot. Very creative. You go around beaches and pirate ships shooting creatures and collecting, what else, 7-Up bottle caps.
It had solid platforming elements and a, surprisingly, award-winning game soundtrack composed by a man named Tommy Tallarico, who is apparently a big name in video game soundtracks as well as Steven Tyler’s cousin (for whatever being the Marc Coppola of music is worth).
Was the game fun? Yes. Did it make any sense, though? Well, watch this commercial and you tell me.

What the frick does Marc Coppola of music mean? Which Marc are you talking about? The kid who writes music, the star school basketball player or football player, the Senator from Upstate New York, the Realtor from Newburg, New York or the Disc Jockey from New York City? The one that the link is to is the Disc Jockey/Actor.
So what do you mean exactly?
