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.

Couldn't make that today. Western devs would censor those magnificent boobs.

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

It is for me.
