The Hardcore Retro God (Review #85 - Ecco The Dolphin, Part A)
Channel: The Hardcore Retro God

Although it's been an extremely long time coming - and, once more, forgive the heinous string of monthly delays due to "God-knows-how-many-irrelevant-commitments" - the awaited SEASON 7 FINALE HAS ARRIVED. 

Before I go on any further, take note that this is a 2-part "upload experiment" until further developments are situated.  What's on the docket for us, one may ask?  

By now, everyone should be familiar with the myth of a young, powerful dolphin hell-bent on overcoming an endless bevy of challenges to rescue and reunite his "mysteriously sprited-away pod", including traveling through time and confronting both countless fierce underwater predators and an extraterrestrial race - all thanks to the mind of Ed Annunziata and his associates at the long-since-defunct Novotrade (aka Appaloosa), on behalf of Sega.   I'm, of course, referring to none other than the incomparable...ECCO THE DOLPHIN.

In this first half of 2 (which'll eventually see total completion ASAP), the following titles are discussed and showcased:

Ecco The Dolphin (Genesis, 1992)
Ecco: The Tides of Time (Genesis, 1994)

To continue on with PART B (the 2nd Half, showcasing the Game Gear ports of the first 2 Ecco offerings; followed by Defender of the Future on Dreamcast) - http://youtu.be/GXzEKkkGOxE
