Like so many others I could never figure this game out. Never knew what to do or where to go. But the graphics, music, art style and atmosphere were so engrossing I would just swim around doing nothing for hours.
I've learned a ton of new things from this I never knew back when I actually played the game. 1. Ecco needs air 2. There is a legitimate storyline and quest 3. Those crystals are not decoration
@@bangerbangerbro those of us who had this game and didn't know what to do with it were really young, i was 4 or 5 when i got my copy. it felt cryptic and overwhelming
Always remember the atmosphere in this as being calm but also incredibly eerie like there's something not quite right about things. Bubbling under the surface no pun intended.
Could never figure this game out for the life of me when I was younger. Thank god I never made it to the final boss. I would've been fucking traumatized!!
This game... I just shed tears watching this. One of the best (and my first game) in my life! First time playing it as a kid, I got scared when the sea animals got sucked into the sky. And first time that I felt loneliness in a video game as I scramble deep into the undersea cave. For me, this is simply THE best game of my life. And salute to the guy who did this longplay! I never finished this game, and my Sega console is broken now :/ yeah my heart also bleed atm :/ Anyway, I hope some guy made a remake of this game, will make my happiness meter soaring to the galaxy! But I know some good indie devs do have awesome side scrollre games, and that makes me happy too!
Wow... vortexes, constellations, Lost City of Atlantis, time travel... pretty deep game for kids. No wonder I had no idea wtf was going on when I played this way back when. But Ecco still holds a special place in my heart :)
@The Arrogant Writer yeah, but wasnt the regular kiddy game. It's atmosphere was more natural, documentary style. While i can see cenrtain parameters similar to Sonic or other games on the sega of that era, like the scenaries or the eco-friendly tematic.
Scariest video game ever. I felt so scared for ecco and his pod, I never wanted to start the quest. Then seeing the last levels from cheats never helped. This game still scares me 20 years later.
I'm glad you said this. I remember it as a fairly peaceful game, but I remember not getting very far. I put that down to me being a bit of a wuss. :-) I don't think the music helped...
I could never pass 8 arms ;-; I really wanna play it again now, I don't wanna watch a long-play and spoil it for myself (just watching until around 8 arms)
This game brings back so many memories. I started playing it again recently because I never completed it before. I love it but certain sections have made me so angry. But I will not stop until it is done!
Still a breathtaking game even 24 years on. It was amusing if you ever cheated with invincibility and "died" to the final boss, because you'd just drift around as a silhouette until it sucked you back again... meaning reset time.
Wow I never even passed The Lagoons despite years of trying. So I've never seen past that level til today. Shit got weird and scary once he met that dna strand thing. Totally explains the back of the game case though with the pterodon
1:33 Scariest moment in my life when I was young.... Ingenious way to start off a game to since it basically gives you free reign to explore and get comfortable with the game before you start your quest.
This game is very Cryptic....but its also Beautiful...the music is somthing else in itself. Also the moment the Vortex takes the sea life Scared the absolute crap out of me. I was just massing around and suddenly BLAM!!!!
This was an absolutely wonderful game. The masterful way they put it together was an inspiration. I hope to god they do a remake of this game. They have to. I mean how could they not?
The Dreamcast follow-up to this and Ecco II, Defender of the Future, was still just as tortuous, but in 3D! In fact, I'm still trying to finish it (taken five years on and off so far). It even has two awesome "hidden" side-on levels reminiscent of the Mega Drive games here :)
A modern remake of this would be fantastic. With today's lighting effects it would be even more atmospheric. And with analogue controls moving those shells around wouldn't be such a pain in the ass.
I finally completed this game two weeks ago or so. It was utter pain and punishment in the end. Let's just say that I could memorize the whole Machine now and I trained how to finish the last boss before actually going through both levels in a good manner. I may finally put my Megadrive to rest! Well there must be something really good in this game despite the difficulty that made me to finally finish this game. If it had been a tad easier it was easily the best game ever on Megadrive.
This game scared me to high hell when I was younger. I still have no idea why?? Its something about the strange graphics and the calm yet eerie music and DEFINITELY the sound effects that really doesn't sit right with me. To this day I'm still scared shitless of this game and I dont know why- It's almost like I'm having a really bad dream and this is the result. I dont know why but this game haunts me, I hate it so much and I dont know why??
Tengo 42 años y siempre ví las reviews de Ecco en las revistas de la epoca y pensaba: "Un delfin? Quien quiere jugar con un delfin? Aburridooooo!" Nunca lo jugué! Con los nuevos juegos remasterizados de SEGA 2024 busque este juego que siempre subestimé! No tenia idea que el plot final era ir a pelear con un ALIEN...wtf??? Bravo SEGA!
god damn this game was hard, i swear me and my friends played it for an hour straight just talking to dolphins and we were completely stumped. such a hard game, ninja gaiden has nothing on this game.
Oh my goodness. you are now my hero. I have never been able to beat this game so it is nice to see that someone had the patience to beat it. Now I want to try it. Thanks for posting.
One day while bathing in the sea My talking dolphin spoke to me He spoke to me in symphony From freedom's peace beneath the sea He looked to me eyes full of love Said yes we live behind the sun Behind the sun The sun goes up And the sun gets down But like the heart of the sun My heart continues to pound Behind the sun Now while I shower in the rain I watch my dolphin swim away The one who listens to the surf Can feel the pulse beat of the earth And like my dolphin swims so free The sun does swim into the sea Behind the sun An island flying through the sky One day your son might ask you why And if your son should be a girl She too might ask you of this world The sun shines sweet upon your beach And yes my dolphin loves to teach Behind the sun The sun goes up And the sun gets down But like the heart of the sun My heart continues to pound
This game was so special, i found it sooo hard when i was a kid. Haven't played it since, but it was one of those games that will have a lasting effect. Maybe because i never completed it. I'm only watching a few mins of this so remember it :P
Seeing this as an adult blows my mind. The story is actually there! Ecco goes through this whole adventure only to realize he can't save his pod because they're already dead - so he goes back in time to save them when they're captured. Jesus.
I too had difficulties reading the English dialog so I never quite figured out what I was supposed to do. I played all the levels though with the aid of passwords, which were revealed in some Sega gaming magazine. Loved the music and the aliens in Welcome to the Machine. Anyways, great longplay, saves me the trouble of playing the game!
Could not get past the first octopus I encountered lol. Now I watch this full of regret. I never played it again but my sister got to the last level and kept getting sucked in. Now I have an xbox360 and would love to play this again....sigh...
Developed by Appaloosa Interactive for Sega of America. This game SCREAMS Sega of America. The games they published always had a unique vibe that was quite different from the stuff Sega of Japan did. It's fun to compare the two and see the different approaches and philosophies in game design, from the gameplay to the graphics and sound. I will say this, though: Japanese developers generally had a better grasp on the Genesis/Mega Drive soundchip's capabilities than Western developers of the time. There are, of course, exceptions, but those abrasive sounds that quite a lot of Mega Drive and Genesis games are known for, and that are also present in Ecco here and there, are much more rare in Japanese developed releases. I think Ecco is a really interesting and unique game series. Creeped me out when I was a kid though.
Ahhh sweet nostalgia! I've got it as my screensaver and some times fall asleep to it lol. I remember this game being really hard! Still haven't managed to complete it despite hours of gameplay. I mostly remember it having an incredible soundtrack (even though it was in MIDI) and although it was such a peaceful and relaxing game it also had an eerie/lonely feel to it. I really loved this game and still do. Thanks sooo much uploading this! :-)
Wow, I can't believe I watched the whole thing... but I did. Pretty amazing story. I knew about the freaky machine but never understood everything that led up to it. The one thing that's kind of weird is going back in time to get that globe for the Asterite... if you'd never gone back in time to steal it, it would have had it the whole time... the whole reason it's missing is because you stole it... weird. Why wasn't Ecco around when he went back to the time of the storm to get sucked up?
The doplhin looks cute but the game looks so weird and kinda creepy... im grateful i didn't play this as a kid bc i would have been scared of it. I remember i had a Spiderman game on my Sega and when u died it played a really creepy song. My older brother had to play that game for me because i got scared of that song lol
This game showed me the feeling of prehistoric era. Nothing but lava rocks and primitive lifeforms. For millions of years. No good guys or bad guys, no good or evil, no money or power.
This game can also brainwash you with this Soundtrack in the Background....i love old games old games are the best and this Game shows Alien A.I Intelligence or some Military CIA Experiments....Ecco is A.I
Such an awesome game, one of my all time favourites. The atmosphere of mystery, the story. The music. I learned that, in the machine, never do a 180 degree turn if you can help it, that half a second of not being able to shoot can get you killed. The creepiness of the vortex queen chamber, and the fact that if you die there you have to redo the entire machine again. Such a hard game, but you are so compelled to keep trying. Fantastic game
Had more fun watching the longplay than playing the game myself. I don't find maze-like levels particularly enjoyable, so I'm glad someone else did the chore for me and I can enjoy the content of the game without the hassle of figuring out where to go.
Oh, man! The music, the fact that the water gets darker the deeper you go, the puzzle element, the sense of urgency that having limited breath brings, the ATMOSPHERE! What a charming game! As a kid, my candy-addled little brain was not able to even begin to grasp the immense beauty of this game and I seriously feel like I missed out. I feel that I am both a dumber and duller person today because I played the wrong games as a child.

i used to think i was getting so far in the game, turns out i swam around the same place for about 5 hours of gameplay
🤣🤣🤣me too...it took them to do 1st level 4 mins
Yh same 😂😂😂
This made me crease because i remember doing exactly the same
Same lmao
😅🤣😂
Like so many others I could never figure this game out. Never knew what to do or where to go. But the graphics, music, art style and atmosphere were so engrossing I would just swim around doing nothing for hours.

I had this in cartridge and never got off the first scene.
Never knew what to do next until watching this... AFTER 30 freaking years!!
I finish whole game instantly..... Great game was ecco
Same so cool and eerie
Yh same
I guess the gameplay itself had memories even though u didn't know what to do much 😂
I've learned a ton of new things from this I never knew back when I actually played the game.
1. Ecco needs air
2. There is a legitimate storyline and quest
3. Those crystals are not decoration
I thought ecco needing air was made fairly obvious in it?
@@bangerbangerbro those of us who had this game and didn't know what to do with it were really young, i was 4 or 5 when i got my copy. it felt cryptic and overwhelming
@@38kob Yeah I was about 11 I think but I didn't get the rest of the game, just that Ecco needs air.
I was like, 7 or so and remember only jumping, the sounds, and the crazy storm
4. Also, those crystals were made by Atlantis specifically to help you
Always remember the atmosphere in this as being calm but also incredibly eerie like there's something not quite right about things. Bubbling under the surface no pun intended.
Yea it almost needs a word of its own to describe it. It’s both serene and eerie simultaneously.
@@Mechanized The word "Uncanny" is close.
Even the very ending doesn't feel right 😅
I was always scared of this game and I could never jump over the first island.
Ping Pong Ya. What was there to be scared of?
Ping Pong Ya I was always scared of it too.
Same,why tho?
@@ShadowStar-wo8vi i have no idea now lmao, just the creepy music and being completely alone i guess
@@falalogo why was i scared?? idk,, the music was really creepy to me haha
back in the day when an 1 hour gameplay game took you almost the entire childhood to beat up :P
to beat up? work on your English.

No hostility. Advice.
Thanks for your contribution, my guy. You're making the internet a better place.

Could never figure this game out for the life of me when I was younger.
Thank god I never made it to the final boss. I would've been fucking traumatized!!
What you did the first part of that level
Welcome to the scream.
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE. Childhood nightmare fuel.
The music made it creepy and scary.
Right, this game scared me as a kid but it also entranced me. Some of the best music I heard in any game ever.. but yes, it's creepy.
It sounded nothing like the Pink Floyd song of the same name, to be honest

There are a couple of sequels I'm pretty sure. One of them is in 3D.
I play this game 24/7 Great game was ecco.... I just see something like this will be soon on Xbox game pass.... and i remember this magnificent game
Ed Anunnziata, the guy who made and owns the franchise intends on making another game in the series.
"I got scared when the sea animals got sucked into the sky." Well, guess we finally know what inspired the masterpiece that is, "Sharknado".
the game is now included on the nintendo switch online package!
Wow... vortexes, constellations, Lost City of Atlantis, time travel... pretty deep game for kids. No wonder I had no idea wtf was going on when I played this way back when. But Ecco still holds a special place in my heart :)
It wasn't for kids...
My mom used to finish this game for us kids!
@The Arrogant Writer yeah, but wasnt the regular kiddy game. It's atmosphere was more natural, documentary style. While i can see cenrtain parameters similar to Sonic or other games on the sega of that era, like the scenaries or the eco-friendly tematic.
I was scared of this game everytime but it never got out of of my mind, i felt the sensation of being lonely idk why
I felt the same. It made me feel just lonely whenever I played it
I had more than enough loneliness as a child, so it felt familiar to me
Scariest video game ever. I felt so scared for ecco and his pod, I never wanted to start the quest. Then seeing the last levels from cheats never helped. This game still scares me 20 years later.

The last levels still give me creeps. Imagine playing this at the age of 6, lol.
Never beat this game and i got to the last level by putting the password in nnnnnnnnnnnn and it said welcome to the machine
Lol true and looks so cute of the outside
Yes its scary '-' its like a Mk Ultra or something.....Ecco is Alien Dolphin
Ecco was a dolphin. A time-traveling dolphin. Aliens stole his family. That's too bad.
Somecallmejohnny
Ecco is A.I
So you fight a giant alien mantis/locust/whatever by yelling at it and headbutting it in the mouth while it tries to throw balls at you. Trippy.
I went back and played this game as an adult and it made so much more sense and I found my way through it on my own. Truly a unique, challenging game.
I could never pass 8 arms ;-;
I really wanna play it again now, I don't wanna watch a long-play and spoil it for myself (just watching until around 8 arms)
@@obsoletepoc7050 they literally tell you how to get around 8arms in the game lol

right?? all i'd do was swim around for hours, thinking i was progressing

hardest game i've ever played
I love this greatly creative game, but I never could beat it ! I get lost every damn time!
Wow this brings back a ton of memories and time spent over summer breaks. Soon as I heard the soundtrack all the memories came flooding back.
Listening to this soundtrack in the background in 2021 whilst working. So many memories. A true work of art.
This game brings back so many memories. I started playing it again recently because I never completed it before. I love it but certain sections have made me so angry. But I will not stop until it is done!
@@icegaming9762 Never managed to complete this game 😂
Everybody who loves Ecco please sign the petition Revival of Ecco the Dolphin....if we join together there a chance to Sega make a sequel.
Still a breathtaking game even 24 years on. It was amusing if you ever cheated with invincibility and "died" to the final boss, because you'd just drift around as a silhouette until it sucked you back again... meaning reset time.
Even dolphins can't survive soft locks.
Wow I never even passed The Lagoons despite years of trying. So I've never seen past that level til today. Shit got weird and scary once he met that dna strand thing. Totally explains the back of the game case though with the pterodon

Ingenious way to start off a game to since it basically gives you free reign to explore and get comfortable with the game before you start your quest.

This game could be categorized as a vaporwave thing.
This game is very Cryptic....but its also Beautiful...the music is somthing else in itself.
Also the moment the Vortex takes the sea life Scared the absolute crap out of me.

This game made great use of the FM chip and it's direct connection to the CPU. Nearly all of the sound effects were produced using the YM2612.
this was such a relaxing game. modern games are way too stressful lol
Still my favorite game. 😭 I adored this game when I was little.
I love this game so much..!!! The nostalgia of it all!!

The Dreamcast follow-up to this and Ecco II, Defender of the Future, was still just as tortuous, but in 3D!
In fact, I'm still trying to finish it (taken five years on and off so far). It even has two awesome "hidden" side-on levels reminiscent of the Mega Drive games here :)
A modern remake of this would be fantastic. With today's lighting effects it would be even more atmospheric. And with analogue controls moving those shells around wouldn't be such a pain in the ass.

Welcome TO THE MACHINE aka the wtf scrolling level
One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun
Behind the sun
The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun
Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea
Behind the sun
An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach
Behind the sun
The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
This game was so special, i found it sooo hard when i was a kid. Haven't played it since, but it was one of those games that will have a lasting effect. Maybe because i never completed it. I'm only watching a few mins of this so remember it :P

As a kid, my candy-addled little brain was not able to even begin to grasp the immense beauty of this game and I seriously feel like I missed out. I feel that I am both a dumber and duller person today because I played the wrong games as a child.
I LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!!!
