Release Date RRP Code

Spot Goes to Hollywood (スポット ゴーズ トゥー ハリウッド) is an isometric sequel to Cool Spot. It was developed by Eurocom and published by Virgin Interactive in 1995 for the Sega Mega Drive, with significantly enhanced versions with different levels appearing on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation in 1996. These versions were developed by Burst. A SNES version of the game was planned, but cancelled. A Sega 32X port was also seemingly in development — only MANIAC Magazine mentions it, giving it a 75.

In the game, the 7-up mascot Spot has become trapped within a movie projector, and must now travel between different movie genres attempting to escape.

Cancelled 32X version

A version of the game for the Sega 32X was in development around the same time as the Mega Drive version. It would have featured more detailed prerendered graphics, as well as a 3D Space Harrier-style bonus stage. The bonus stage was not used in the later Saturn version.
