What should make these games especially worrisome to parents is that they're so much fun to play. Like a million-dollar, 60-second advertisement, except about a hundred times as long, Cool Spot is loaded with production value, from the opening scene of Spot surfing on a giant 7UP bottle (to the tune of the Surfaris' ''Wipe Out'') to the panicky expression on the little guy's face when he takes a tumble. And the action, as in all good commercials, is relatively unobtrusive vis-a-vis the company that's doing the advertising- except when Spot replenishes his energy by quaffing you-know-what along the way.

That's all a sign of an under appreciate gem. Yes, it's hard to acknowledge the quality when you're being sold a certain liquid whenever you press a button. That shouldn't take anything away from this games surprising platform achievements. Just because it's selling pop doesn't mean Cool Spot isn't one of the few great platformers of the 16-bit era.

På trods af det slidte platform-format gør den utrolige grafik og animation Cool Spot til et virkelig suværent spil. Der er masser af omveksling i spillet, og på trods af det temmelige åndssvage plot, kan man ikke slippe det her tjekkede spil, når man først er kommet i gang.

Tras jugarlo en profundidad y analizar todos y cada uno de los apartados que componen Cool Spot, debemos comentar que es un gran plataformas que cuenta con una jugabilidad excelente, pero que es una lástima que no tenga algún que otro nivel o extra final que alarguen un poco más el cartucho. Además, tope de una fórmula nueva para el género para refrescar un poco el desarrollo, que se ve acompañado por un diseños de niveles envidiable. Por si fuera poco, cuenta con unos gráficos bastante vistosos y detallados, a lo que sumar una banda sonora realmente notable. Si a estos cuidados apartados técnicos le sumamos la interesante curva de dificultad (que se ve un poco suavizada si recoges las vidas de las fases de bonus o te haces con los ítems que mencionamos anteriormente), obtenemos un cartucho de los más completo, jugable y "refrescante".

Spelet är rent visuellt oerhört njutbart, framförallt animeringen och det höjer spelkänslan avsevärt på ett annars ordinärt lir.
