I BEAT ECCO THE DOLPHIN!!!!!!!!!!
I spent soooooooo many hours playing that game as a kid, and I have never seen the end before!!!!!!!!!!!
I SAVED ECCO’S POD!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a kid, I had a complete list of level codes & an invincibility cheat… I still never managed to fully beat any level after the third one, and I certainly never killed the alien queen.
Two game guides, four save game slots, and twenty years later, I finally beat Ecco the Dolphin.
Although, to be completely honest, I didn’t make the jump in Deep City. I gave up and handed the controller to my 12-year-old who had never played Ecco before… they got it in less than five minutes.
Other than that, I played all the way through, no cheats except for saving.
If it’s never taken you twenty years to beat a video game, you can never fully understand how it feels to beat a video game that you’d been stuck on for twenty years.
I mean, it’s probably a feeling you can get by without… but also, it’s a pretty good feeling.
You know… maybe I should see if I can get Riven running on my computer and look up some game guides for it…
