Spot - The Video Game Game

"Spot: The Video Game" is a charming little hidden gem on the NES that turns the classic board game Spot! (think high-energy, competitive dot-connecting) into a quirky digital experience. It’s simple, addictive, and surprisingly strategic—you’ll race against the computer (or a friend!) to claim squares on a grid, but with a twist: the faster you move, the more territory you snag. The bright, cheerful graphics and upbeat music make it feel like a playful arcade challenge, even though it’s rooted in straightforward, old-school fun.

What makes Spot stand out is its pure, no-frills approach—it’s easy to pick up but hard to put down, perfect for quick gaming sessions or nostalgic battles with a sibling. If you love fast-paced puzzle hybrids like Dr. Mario or Tetris, but crave something a little offbeat, this underrated title is a delightful blast from the past. Who knew connecting dots could feel this intense?
