Would you like a brand war to replace your Cold War?

For those unaware, AVGN covered the game quite hilariously: https://youtu.be/VdVP2XxV3QU (warning: foul language)

    Pepsimaaaan. Game was a trip. I grabbed the rom recently to take that nostalgic play through but haven’t yet. I totally forgot about the live action dude it showed between levels until this article.

    I had the 7-up game on Sega Genesis even before this was a thing. I’m a little surprised that those kinds of games didn’t become more popular since companies are cramming adverts into every possible medium now.

      Cool Spot was actually a serviceable platformer.

      I remember it being “the lion king” levels of frustrating though.

    Is this the most prominent example of endless runners before they became a thing?

    It is for me.
