Play Spot Goes To Hollywood Online

Spot Goes to Hollywood came out for the Sega Genesis in 1995, published by Virgin Interactive. It was part of that wave of licensed platformers that tried to capture the feel of a cartoon, in this case the 101 Dalmatians sequel. You control Spot, the playful dalmatian puppy, through a series of movie-themed levels. The game doesn't try to reinvent the genre; it fits right in with other colorful, side-scrolling adventures from that period on the console.

You guide Spot through stages that scroll both left to right and into the background. Your main goal is to rescue your kidnapped puppy brothers and sisters from the clutches of Cruella de Vil. You have a few moves to help you. Spot can use his stretchy, prehensile tongue to grab onto hooks and swing across gaps, which is his signature ability. He can also collect bones and use them as projectiles to fend off enemies like weasels and other animals. The pacing is generally brisk, though some of the platforming can be tricky with precise jumps required. Playing it feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging run through a bright and noisy cartoon world.
