Is that a Majora tattoo?

retroblast.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is!

jargle.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's amazing work!

I wanted to like the mega drive and game gear games of Ecco but I found them really challenging. 😥

eldronox.bsky.social•33 days ago

Speaking of Echo The Dolphin did you see that Sega could be bringing this game back?

I used to love playing this so much back in the day.

nostalgiajon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Totally agree and love playing it on Dreamcast

editorscott.bsky.social•34 days ago

I want to give this another chance. Had the PS2 version, and it was...so, so hard. Never made it past the shark boss.

zelse007.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ecco soundtracks are awesome! Even the one on Game Gear had a great ost.

genericmdma.bsky.social•34 days ago

I completely forgot about this one 😭😢

cultofjenova.bsky.social•34 days ago

I may just give it a blind listen because I'm intrigued now

storytimemeadows.bsky.social•34 days ago

Is it better on dreamcast?
I could not figure out what to do on the ps2 version.

retroblast.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm biased, but yea it was meant for Dreamcast tbh.

puremayhem.seeks.quest•34 days ago

I might have to check this out. The Genesis Ecco games scarred my soul.

amstempo.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'll have to check it out I played the original.

brasshammerz.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ohhhhh. [lays hand over heart] That game and its soundtrack does take me back to a calmer time, yeah. 💙

cocofondu.bsky.social•34 days ago

The only Ecco game I never got the chance to finish.

I have never played this game, but I’ve seen gameplay growing up and watching YouTube videos. It’s a classic in gaming history.

sonicsean34.bsky.social•34 days ago

Got a cheap copy back in the day. Really should properly play it beyond the first hour at some point. (Got too many games I bought at the ends of generations on the cheap I’ve barely touched and need to fix it )

sirshepard.bsky.social•34 days ago

Use to be one of my favorite Dreamcast games but had an ex ruin it for me. Maybe it’s time to go back and fall in love with this game again.

retroblast.bsky.social•34 days ago

Definitely! Take it back for yourself.

capablebara.bsky.social•34 days ago

I loved the Ecco games... but I also have a bit of fear of the ocean deep... especially when the draw distance in the 3d games made it feel even scarier like silent hill fog on the ps1

macabelly.bsky.social•34 days ago

I remember Angry Video Game Nerd played the game. You're right the sound track sooo good 👍

imagine2create.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ecco the Dolphin was my JAM on the Sega Genesis. It's also the first game that gave me severe Thalassophobia 😂

splashbreeze.bsky.social•34 days ago

I remember being absolutely floored by the beauty of this game the first time I booted it up.

It was one of those moments that made you think visuals had peaked.

virtuashenmue.bsky.social•34 days ago

Definitely floored even now! im terrible at the game and never gotten passed the first hour, but alongside Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, Virtua Tennis 2K2, etc... cannot believe how amazing the visuals still hold quite well even today.

joesff.bsky.social•33 days ago

Defender of the Future is still gorgeous looking too. I was watching this guy on TikTok stream all of the Ecco games recently and it was awesome

chrisbombs.bsky.social•34 days ago

I remember playing a version of this on the gameboy as a kid and not knowing what the hell I was doing lmao just echolocating and vibing

oncomouse37.bsky.social•34 days ago

For that matter, the Sega CD versions of the first two Ecco games for similar reasons.

beardparty.bsky.social•33 days ago

My copy of the original Echo for Mega CD was the first game soundtrack I sat down and listened to. I just listened to the CD tracks from the game disc like it was an audio CD.

omnimeagan.bsky.social•33 days ago

I know I played an Ecco game on the GameGear where the dolphin had a strange transformation.

marklaskey60.bsky.social•33 days ago

What an awesome game mate bought the ps2 version a while ago works great on the original ps3 that plays ps2 games there was a sequel that ended up being cancelled when the dreamcast ended

retroblast.bsky.social•33 days ago

I hope we get another one someday Mark!

marklaskey60.bsky.social•33 days ago

Me too king
