Developed by Novotrade and published by Sega in 1992
I never got to play Ecco back when it was first released, but I remember it featured prominently in Sega's Genesis and Mega Drive advertisements and promotional material. This was a game that rivalled even Sega's newly appointed mascot, Sonic, in terms of popularity.
It's not difficult to see why; the graphics, artwork and the kind of smooth scrolling Ecco was demonstrating made the game look every inch the big-budget game Sega's marketing machine was making it out to be.
Equally, the game's subject matter and overall style was a far cry from the typical arcade shooters, platformers, brawlers, or indeed just about anything else at the time. Casting the player as a time-travelling dolphin in such a sub-aqua adventure certainly couldn't be described as mainstream.
As for the story, Ecco's pod of dolphin's gets swept up in a mysterious vortex, which is caused by a race of extra-terrestrial beings come to harvest food from Earth's oceans. None-too pleased at the prospect of having his pals turned into fish-sticks, Ecco sets off on a journey that takes him back in time, gaining various powers and altering the course of history to prevent the disaster from occurring. It's all rather surreal, but Sega fans were probably too busy gawping at the visuals to care too much about the plot.
As good as the game might look, it's far from perfect; Ecco is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful games for the system, but it's also one of the toughest. The game runs at a blistering pace, making controlling Ecco very tricky indeed, something made even tougher by the fact the developers implemented a realistic movement scheme, meaning Ecco actually has to turn around to change directions, or turn parabolic arcs to change direction. It all looks very impressive, but when you're besieged by voracious sharks, stinging jellyfish and other denizens of the deep, your stress levels are certainly going to raise.
Newcomers to the game are likely to find that the puzzles and mechanics involved in solving them don't make a whole lot of sense; quite why pushing a spiral shell or ring of starfish into a bunch of rocks causes them to disintegrate is anyone's guess, and players need to get into the mindset of experimentation, back-tracking and trying different things. There's one section later in the game where Ecco has to use his beak to lift a stone block up and over various pits, which took a few moments of head-scratching to figure out (quite ingenious when the penny drops), but the fact you have to perform a vertical turn underneath the block to start it moving just doesn't make itself apparent.
Whatever it's foibles, Ecco the Dolphin remains a charming game, one made all the more special when you consider the humble beginnings of it's developer. Hungary-based Novotrade had grown up in the shadow of Soviet communism, a world where living behind the Iron Curtain meant getting your hands on western technology wasn't an easy thing. The fact Novotrade was responsible for such a prominent third-party title for Sega's 16-bit console just makes it all the more remarkable.

A lot of people praise Metroid for how it makes you feel isolated and alone. Ecco cranks that ten fold. From the sad, ominous, and scary music, to the atmosphere of the vast deep sea, to how the game starts off with all your friends getting taken away, it really sets a tone unlike any other game, even today. If the game wasn't so ball bustingly hard, it would certainly be a classic today

Fun fact: the game's music composer, Ed Annunziatta, is a huge Pink Floyd fan, and this game's music was inspired by Floyd's music. The levels "Welcome to the Machine" and "A New Machine" are also a direct reference to two of Pink Floyd's songs.

Found a box of my old genesis games not too long ago but must’ve lost the console somewhere along the way into adulthood. Even took a peak at prices of used ones these days and nearly shit my pants. Definitely miss those old school games. The story lines were something special and the music was composed well

Ahh, the Genesis Ecco games - I am extremely familiar with them. I have no shame in boasting that I finished these two games when I was 11 and 12 years old respectively - I didn't learn until later on that they had a reputation for being mercilessly hard (I just thought I was really bad at them and that was the reason I kept dying). I had a deep obsession with the ocean as a child and that was the spark that first got me into Ecco 1, and right from the very first level I was hooked. I could tell instantly that this game was not the conventional kiddie-friendly title with an environmental message that it was being marketed as; I would turn out to be more right than I thought. The true beauty of the first Ecco game was the way in which the story became increasingly bizarre and fantastical as the player progressed through the stages. At first, you start out as a dolphin playing in the waters of your home bay. Nothing strange about that - but then you jump too high and a violent storm appears out of nowhere, sucking all life out of the ocean and generating bizarre colors and sounds that are definitely not natural. Okay, you think to yourself, and you keep playing. Next thing you know, you're chasing some strange creature called the Asterite (that turns out to be the origin of all life on the planet and looks like a giant rotating DNA strand) who tells you that you need to find the sunken city of Atlantis in order to use their time machine (because the Atlanteans had advanced technology while living in Roman-style cities, naturally) to travel back to the Prehistoric Ages so you can steal one of the Asterite's own globes and return it to the Asterite in the present. This is all so the Asterite can give you the power you need to defeat the true cause of the bizarre storm that stole your pod - a race of aliens called the Vortex who come to Earth once every 500 years to feed off our lifeforms because they've lost the ability to grow their own food. This culminates in the final few levels where you play as a dolphin that is swimming around a giant artificial stomach on an alien planet while horrific otherworldly aquatic abominations try to destroy you, then finally confronting a grotesque giant floating head that tries to swallow you whole... And you, as the player, never really question how you came to be partaking in such a surreal scenario because the writers have done a phenomenal job of slowly easing you into the strangeness of it all like a frog being gradually boiled alive. So yeah... I liked this game a lot.

Ecco isn't a game I've put a lot of time into yet but I know it quite a bit and it's indeed a unique experience. And there are many ways of experiencing said experience since the game has various incarnations with several differences from each other. The Japanese Mega Drive version for instance has additional music tracks that play at various points of the game but also added checkpoints during the infamous final stage "Welcome to the Machine". Then the Mega-CD version is significantly expanded, adding an animated intro, many new levels and such + it now has CD quality soundtrack and higher quality sound samples. And then there are also the 8-bit versions on Master System and Game Gear which have various differences too... Ecco is one of those games that perfectly illustrates why I love Sega's consoles so much: unique and varied experiences with lot of character. Right here with the first Ecco you can enjoy several versions of a unique game, each with their own (and fantastic) soundtrack, each with their own gameplay differences... it's so rich, so good... And Sega is one of the few companies that bothered about ecology, publishing games such as Ecco the Dolphin or Vectorman and not just that, but about Ecco, there was an awareness-raising campaign organized by Sega France, Sega UK, Ecofilmes, Europe Conservation and Tethys Research Institute about the dangers that menace dolphins and other species and Sega France donated 5 French francs of each of the first 30,000 copies of Ecco the Dolphin sold to the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals, meaning a total of 150,000 French francs. At the time I had no idea that such things happened but in retrospect, this just increases my respect for Sega which, more than ever, makes being a Sega fan trully a state of mind. And such things should happen more often. Video games is the perfect media to educate children and people in general about ecology and other fundamental aspects of life.

It could be that the Vortex race represent the undiscriminated human fishing and the space ship is just our fishing boats and ships seen from the point of view of the terryfied animals of the seas. I allways wonder if that was an intention behind from the creators. Love Ecco series. So underrated it hurts...

Atlantis was destroyed by a beam from space. I played this game when I was just a little fellow. I think the farthest I got was Atlantis. Can't wait to finally see how it ends 30 years later XD back when games used to actually be challenging. Also the entire playthrough only takes an hour... it took me 2 or 3 years to get to Atlantis. Granted I was a kid. The gameplay was so fun I'd put it down. For a month and I couldn't stop thinking about it.😮

I beat this game in middle school. Tough game. A lot of patience, curiousity, and straight up farm mentality. You gotta commit a lot of stuff to memory to get to the point where the game is easy. It's a game of quick reaction and precision. Some of the best music I've ever come across, I used to just open the sound check and play stuff.
