But did you actually manage to beat them?

Yes

No. Jank controls filtered me. LOVE the ost to tides of time.

>> No.9246913

Yes. But the level where you fight the Asterite in Ecco 1 took me awhile to get through it, what a pain in the ass. Both are excellent games.

>> No.9246939

I only had Tides of Time and as a kid I was too much of a brainlet to figure out what to do with the crystals near the beginning. But also loved the ost.

I am still working on the first one. They are pretty difficult.

I beat Ecco on the Game Gear and Ecco Defender of the Future on the Dreamcast.

Only had the first one, never was able to beat it.

The GameGear one, and the Dreamcast one. Enjoyed both of them

Beat it on master system as a kid, it had passwords so I just beat little bits every weekend, the teradactyl was really cool. Now days it feels really annoying to beat games so slowly which causes some people to resort to savestates which is wrong. Back then it could take me 6 months or more to beat a game.

no i swam around and fucked around
all of us as kids did this and it was beautiful

Beat both of them. Tides when I was a kid, the first on emulator. Great games imo.

I've heard the CD version of 1 is easier.

Yes, eventually, after many years and completely memorizing every inch of The Machine

Yeah they added checkpoints, I think including one at the end of The Machine which is a big fuck deal

The controls are perfect though.

Zoomer think if the character doesn’t instantly do what they imagine the game has “bad controls”

With sVestates.

My best gamer advice I ever got was to get dynamite headdy instead, which as a seven year old was the far better choice

Ecco is a good game, but it's not a "fun" game

why genesis boxes looked like cheap vhs boxes from china
if you compare to snes boxes which had layers of unboxing like you peeling it off slowly to get the cartridge it felt so premium quality

The definitive PC version has checkpoints, an easy mode (and hard mode), quicksaves, and much more.

Maybe one day. They are strange unique games that are pretty difficult. Tides has one of my favorite Genesis songs ever. The Genesis soundchip > snes one.
