Why does everybody like Echo the Dolphin when it comes to old Genesis/ Mega Drive games ?
Whenever somebody makes a Mega Drive list, that Dolphin game always scores really high or high up on the list.
It's a game where you play a Dolphin and swim around. What's so amazing about it ?
Yeah I have played it on Sega Mega Drive collection thing, and it was a bore. It was just a Dolphin and ....swimming around.
Am I missing something here ?
Beautiful visuals and music, novel gameplay and challenging puzzles, and a bitchin' re-release on the Sega CD. Different strokes for different folks, but for me it's an unbeatable classic.

not a fan. Beat the game, but not a fan. I saw it on the PS2 "Genesis Hits" collection. On that disc, I preferred Sword of Vermillion and Phantasy Star. Hell, I preferred Altered Beast, Alex Kidd... I preferred Flicky.
Thankyou. :jess:Quote:

NCG hit the nail on the head for me. So long as it's fun, it's all good. I mean, if you're going to trivialise Ecco as "just a Dolphin and ....swimming around" I could argue that Mario is "just an Italian and... jumping around" or that every single game that ever involved a gun was "just shooting". I could even argue that every FF is just "a group of people running around". :p
