These are very beautiful visuals!

My copy from eBay just arrived! I used to read a lot when I was younger and, sadly, it's a habit I fell out of during college but hoping I can get to it sooner rather than later!

I want to give a special thank you for uploading Ambient V2 since when I first heard it I knew I would keep it on repeat all day long. And I did.

Welcome back! I've wondered about you occasionally through the years.

I played the first Mass Effect game and started the 2nd. I liked Garrus but the games are so long and complicated and I started playing them a little too late to get deeply invested in them. I've also played a little Battletech ...

Welcome, Benjámin! Glad to see at least some of the young ones are getting a proper Sega-powered childhood!

Welcome back, Atolm! Yours is definitely a character that helped define the community as I knew it back in the day!

I spent decades thinking that Kitnee was the orca! I'm not sure I can go back now...

But I also love that the robo dolphin boss was basically an inside joke about a Frankensteined toy dolphin.

Thank you! I decided I needed more Ecco in my life and to be proactive about it!

Welcome back, Cally! Glad to see you again as well!

Some of you may know (And if you didn't, now you do) that the sci-fi author David Brin was brought on to work on Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future because he wrote a book called Startide Rising- about a spaceship with a mostly dolphin crew. Brin's Uplift series includes a few dolphin ...

What are some of your favorite marine creatures?

I know, dolphins right?

Bottlenose dolphins were my favorite animal as a kid. And then one day my sister asked me what my favorite animal was for a school project and I told her killer whale because I didn't want to sound girly and Free Willy had ...

Hello Lilt! I definitely have a soft spot for Sonic the Hedgehog and Secret of NIMH as well. I often tell people that the easiest way to become my friend is to remember things from my childhood!

Hello Adrien! Are those your glass dolphins in your avatar? I love collecting dolphin knick-knacks!

Hello Gordon! Would I know you by a different username from back in the day?

Pretty sure we actually played Tides of Time first on the Sega Genesis. We borrowed it from a small video rental store which had a great selection of older cartoons from the 70s and 80s. The next time we rented the original Ecco the Dolphin and I remember being disappointed by the downgrade in ...

I've loved "dolphin simulators." In Zelda: Majora's Mask you could transform into a Zora which is a race of fish-people. I used to spend time swimming around the bay and breaching like a dolphin the same way I used to play the starting levels of Eccos 1 and 2 back in the day. But I think I more ...

Hello there! My name is Mystic. I originally joined the Ecco Community on April 15th, 2002. Some of you may remember me as Artreus, the shapeshifting dolphin (Sometimes known as The Comic Baron). I've grown up a little since then... but in my mind, Mystic is the son of Artreus. I feel like an elder ...
