I used the toll-free 1-800-USA-SEGA hotline for help with games from 1986 until the early 90s. No way I would have beaten games like Ecco or Phantasy Star without their help lol
It was good enough but only for about 30 mins or so every now and again. I've revisited this game cos doing that at my friends house made a lasting impression. But I remember just being utterly confused about the gameplay. Had no idea what we were supposed to be doing.
@@Allilily22 Well said...after many, many years and many, many games this was the game that finally broke me and I called the Sega "help line" after resisting that stimulus. I called when I got to the colored balls scene. I forgot what I spent but, then I hit another obstacle and refused to call them again and stopped playing the game. Nice to witness someone completing it here.

You've unlocked a memory from my childhood i forgot about. Thank you sir, my brother and i would play this endlessly getting nowhere. Confused. Just enjoying being a dolphin

With this walkthrough I feel like I have the secrets to life now. This game was such a challenge and a bit hard to understand without some toysrus cheat book. Lmao
I really don't think the game explained itself very well and whacked up the difficulty far to quickly. You end up not really knowing what to do and are on an extremely short clock to boot.
@@mrtalos Imagine how hard it was for a 10 years old who only spoke french back then! I never really knew what I was doing and never made it far in the game!
I think it might be both the sound track and clashing graphics that made it creepy, like how the first time you jump up you get a screen flash and a pillar of fish forms upward into the sky. The varying loud and soft tones just add to it. It's creepy and unsettling because it just seems too innocent, I know exactly how you feel.
I swear, this game is my VERY FIRST memory. I then remember having a dream of Dolphins that same night. Crazy that back then I imagined it as UHD or some shit.
@@snowhawkthorne630 I used to have 3 wild dolphin friends once & one of the three was a baby and two of them kind of had white patches on them one of them being the baby when use to reside in Southport Waters on the Gold coast under the Southport bridge connecting to Surfers Paradise where the aqueduct boat turns into truck rolls up bank near the spit
Watching someone who knows what they are doing, yet still getting close to running out of air in the first couple of levels. Yeah, no wonder I got nowhere with this when I was a kid
Me with all the boys in the neighborhood (we were maybe 15) could never get passed 42:20...never, we did everything we could, we couldn't read in English, it was not our language...we were playing on black and white TVs then and had no idea these spheres were different colors and you are not supposed to touch some...it was the biggest mystery of our childhood, that fucking creature used to kill my Ecco within a few seconds every time...my biggest gaming achievement as a child (10 years old) in pre-internet time was the point where I came up with the cheat idea to just try random codes to get the password of some later chapters so we could just finish the game! I still listen to the soundtrack and this game remains one of the top ones in my life!
As a kid? I wouldn't be able to complete this now. I played this on and off as a kid trying to get past that damn octopus. Not without playing the game and watching this at the same time. I got lost just watching this person play it. This game is complex as fuck! Without a guide I'd never complete this. After watching this playthrough imma say at least I tried. Glad I get to at least see it's completion.
I was around 13 when this game came out. My cousin and I had started a collection of games, including this one, after his mom past away. This game, is also the very last game my cousin and I were playing, when he was killed. After that, I NEVER picked up another controller, to ANY game, EVER again. Honestly, we became so close, like a brother and sister, it was because of games like this one! Thanks for posting this and reminding me of him and putting a smile on my face! Thank you, again!!
sorry to hear about your mom. My mum died also this year in may. I was thinking about these dolphins that I connected with wild ones under a bridge years ago just today and it reminded me of this game Kid. I used to have 3 wild dolphin friends once & one of the three was a baby and two of them kind of had white patches on them one of them being the baby when use to reside in Southport Waters on the Gold coast under the Southport bridge connecting to Surfers Paradise where the aqueduct boat turns into truck rolls up bank near the spit
I was never able to beat this game. I played it so much on my SG back in the day. Thanks so much for the nostalgia. Still a big gamer today! Party on nerds.
I never passed the second level as a kid, now I'm kinda glad I didn't. That alien would have traumatized me as a child. Glad I just swam around aimlessly without a care for the plot.
As a 9 year old who didnt speak english this game was nightmare fuel, only got to stage 4 Never imagined Ecco was about a Time Traveling Alien Fighting MFking Dolphin
I was maybe 5 playing this and I was so freaking scared like this was my first horror game losing my family was just so damn scary the beginning was just so damn scary all alone not knowing what to do I think I beat it tho I got to the part where there were sharks and I started to feel better at that point because I knew I could at least beat sharks but this game changed my whole perspective of what the ocean is like to this day and I’m so glad I played it
The beginning of this game is soo nostalgic to me. Swimming fast jumping in and out of the water and getting that last little jump in! And having to play it all the time because this game was so difficult to me back then lol
my brother and i played this every single day just swimming and jumping around because we couldn’t speak english at the time and didn’t understand what we were supposed to do lmao
I seen this on one of the top ten hardest 90's video game video. I remember this game clearly. Never got past the octopus til I was about 20. I'm 32 now today. I wanted to see a walk through to beat it. Imma just say at least I tried. This game is a maze. I'd need a map.
It's good thing this game is so difficult, children were only traumatized by their family getting sucked into the air. They didn't have to witness the end lol. 54:34 the Queen alien is vomiting dolphins, huh
How far do you remember getting at that age? I remember never getting past that fat octopus for years. Managed to get to the next level but I was about 20 at that point.
Honestly I’m all the way at welcome to the machine and it has to be one of the hardest levels I ever played in my life I used to play Ecco on one of those plug and play systems back in like 2003 and I never made it far but now that I’m at the machine I can now see why I didn’t get far because the game is brutally difficult
The simplicity of this game, along with the charming but also creepy atmosphere, made it a unique gaming experience. Whoever designed this game is a technological genius
Omg it's so cool watching someone breeze through this game I was stuck on the lagoon forever when I saw this videos run time I was like no way they're gonna do it 50mins+ truly awe inspiring stuff you must've played the s***t outta this game to get so good

I am glad I am not alone.. I found this game SO challenging in my youth. I want to play it again as an adult to remind me how much of a shitty gamer I am.
You made that look way too easy lol. I think of the number of times I had to re play Welcome to the Machine, it was absurd. I finally beat the game (no guides) and swore I would never bother to try that again. Still love the music in this game.

One day while bathing in the sea My talking dolphin spoke to me He spoke to me in symphony From freedom's peace beneath the sea He looked to me eyes full of love Said yes we live behind the sun Behind the sun The sun goes up And the sun gets down But like the heart of the sun My heart continues to pound Behind the sun Now while I shower in the rain I watch my dolphin swim away The one who listens to the surf Can feel the pulse beat of the earth And like my dolphin swims so free The sun does swim into the sea Behind the sun An island flying through the sky One day your son might ask you why And if your son should be a girl She too might ask you of this world The sun shines sweet upon your beach And yes my dolphin loves to teach
I loved thus game as a kid. I made it well past the Deep Sea level but I never finished it. There were so many other games out or coming out that I completely checked out. I even got this on my Segs CD and again I didn't finish it. I may beat it on my Genesis Mini...I don't know. I'm so hung up on my Core Grafx Mini thst it will likely be a while. Addendum- The scaling and rotation on this game through a stock Genesis is amazing. I remember a time when Nintendo did their damndest to convince us that the Snes was the only 16-bit machine capable of this feat...of course it was a lie. The Genesis has the ability to do this through sheer brute force. Having two separate processors help to make this possible. I had an Snes as well as the Sega Genesis/Sega CD.
I'm playing through and using this guide to help me and I'm 41 mins into the game and spent about 8 hours on it! What can take 1 minute in this video is taking me up to 30 mins to do myself 😮😢😂

Dang you has us beat we couldn’t get past like the first 5 minutes 😭😂 But to be fair it was before elementary school.
I don't know why, but this game creeped me out as a kid. I still played it but man, it freaked me out

It's sad and creepy to me
I THOUGH I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT CREEPED OUT FROM THIS
Me too I liked playing it but I always felt creeped out, and when I clicked on this video and the intro started playing it reunlocked that feeling.
Same man i tought i was the only one

giving closure to this game means so much to me. thanks for the walktrough !
Thanks for the walkthrough. I had trouble trying to pass this game for years now I know how to play. Thanks!!!
I was maybe 5 playing this and I was so freaking scared like this was my first horror game losing my family was just so damn scary the beginning was just so damn scary all alone not knowing what to do I think I beat it tho I got to the part where there were sharks and I started to feel better at that point because I knew I could at least beat sharks but this game changed my whole perspective of what the ocean is like to this day and I’m so glad I played it
The beginning of this game is soo nostalgic to me. Swimming fast jumping in and out of the water and getting that last little jump in! And having to play it all the time because this game was so difficult to me back then lol
Wow i have vague memories playing this as a kid
this game was made for people like Einstein and Stephen Hawkins. Too bad they never played it.
I learned 3 things with this game: 1)english 2) the fear can exist in places that you usually consider as peaceful 3) omg the music i need to play it.
my brother and i played this every single day just swimming and jumping around because we couldn’t speak english at the time and didn’t understand what we were supposed to do lmao
Literally had no idea thisngame actually had anything going on. Played it with my brother loads jusy swimming around eating fish hahah
Idk y I randomly look 4 this game .. damn I'm getting old ..😪🥲 ( my childhood 33yr )
I seen this on one of the top ten hardest 90's video game video. I remember this game clearly. Never got past the octopus til I was about 20. I'm 32 now today. I wanted to see a walk through to beat it. Imma just say at least I tried. This game is a maze. I'd need a map.
It's good thing this game is so difficult, children were only traumatized by their family getting sucked into the air. They didn't have to witness the end lol.
54:34 the Queen alien is vomiting dolphins, huh
Omg I can't believe I found this after sooo long of searching!! This was my favorite game when I was 6 or 7, I played it all the time!! 😰😩
How far do you remember getting at that age?
I remember never getting past that fat octopus for years. Managed to get to the next level but I was about 20 at that point.
Honestly I’m all the way at welcome to the machine and it has to be one of the hardest levels I ever played in my life I used to play Ecco on one of those plug and play systems back in like 2003 and I never made it far but now that I’m at the machine I can now see why I didn’t get far because the game is brutally difficult
The intro always made me have a lot of questions back when I was 4
The Eccho games had some terrifying sound effects! Headphones for full effect!
The simplicity of this game, along with the charming but also creepy atmosphere, made it a unique gaming experience. Whoever designed this game is a technological genius
I remember playing this game very well, and it giving me hell over it's mazes....but, I'm not sure that I ever passed it.
Omg it's so cool watching someone breeze through this game I was stuck on the lagoon forever when I saw this videos run time I was like no way they're gonna do it 50mins+ truly awe inspiring stuff you must've played the s***t outta this game to get so good
Very calculated gameplay
Noticed that too.
You got further in 1 minute than i ever did as a kid lmao
As an 8yr old kid I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't have an older brother to help me with this game nor there was no youtube. SMH Sega
The eerie music is just so
This is a part of my soul for some reason. Magical creatures. (smiles greatly)
This game frightened me as a kid
After 500hrs of raging I finally finished this game with no exploits.
Edit: This vid helped
Nostalgia and memory on another level. The sounds, the music, just amazing how simple sounds can bring you back 20+ years. Incredible
1995 год, купил эту игры в одном магазине, точнее обменял на другой картридж с доплатой +10
Рублей на тот момент !
Было на тот момент несколько картриджей на обмен, «Робокоп Против Терминатора», и Экко дельфин 🐬
Выбрал экко и не пожалел, море эмоций
Затем случайно коды открыл
АААААААА
NNNNNNN- последний уровень !
I loved this game as a kid! I was never able to beat Welcome to the Machine, thank you for posting this playthrough and making it look so easy! 💖🐬
I keep getting lost, so this video is super helpful, thank you!
Also, how is anyone meant to know that those starfish things can break rocks?!
When the game doesn't hold your hand so hard that you failed to find out it has a story.
I had the sega genesis when I was 8 or 9... the memories...
Oh man I remember this game. I beat it, but it was so hard without a guide. I think it took me a year or two before I finally beat it.
I loved this game. It was beautiful but eerie.
I played this game at 7 years old!!! What great memories.
Wow! I vaguely remember this, but I do recall loving this one.
The game I never finished cuz of fear and difficulty. This game was something else
Wait, there were bosses?!?!
I’m bout to cry the nostalgia
the soundtrack!
The last boss is prolly the creepiest part of the game.
This looks like a very good game like the kind of game that would still be good even today. Whoever designed this is a genius.
Romans 6:23

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Honestly I was a Nintendo kid but I remember seeing this at my friends house
Sega had quality games vs Nintendo 👍
I am glad I am not alone.. I found this game SO challenging in my youth. I want to play it again as an adult to remind me how much of a shitty gamer I am.
You made that look way too easy lol. I think of the number of times I had to re play Welcome to the Machine, it was absurd. I finally beat the game (no guides) and swore I would never bother to try that again. Still love the music in this game.
I'm in my mid 30s and still can't make sense of this game. 😂
This game was hard af
This is the real marvel Jesus to me. Ecco the dolphin. Literally went to a spaceship and forth the alien on its turf.😂😂
Wow never thought I’d see someone beat this game
I played this as a kid and didn't understand what was going on...... 30 years later.... I still don't understand whats going on....🤣🤣
.....

One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun
Behind the sun
The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun
Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea
Behind the sun
An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach
avgn would be proud
Thanks for the first sega memories with my step sister
Ecco is the space force’s secret weapon
I never beat this game as a kid, so I was curious now to see what all I missed 😂
I could never figure out what I was supposed to do in this game 😂
I just swam around being a dolphin 🤣
This game was everything
I loved thus game as a kid. I made it well past the Deep Sea level but I never finished it. There were so many other games out or coming out that I completely checked out. I even got this on my Segs CD and again I didn't finish it. I may beat it on my Genesis Mini...I don't know. I'm so hung up on my Core Grafx Mini thst it will likely be a while.
Addendum- The scaling and rotation on this game through a stock Genesis is amazing. I remember a time when Nintendo did their damndest to convince us that the Snes was the only 16-bit machine capable of this feat...of course it was a lie. The Genesis has the ability to do this through sheer brute force. Having two separate processors help to make this possible. I had an Snes as well as the Sega Genesis/Sega CD.
As a kid this game frustrated the living hell out of me.
who knows you flipper? Ecco is the number one
This game still scares me
The title screen is just terrifying
This game is so beautiful, but so hard to play!
Whenever i played this my little brother always was scared idk why
Man the ending is so fucking scary
when I was younger I was able to get to the lagoon the part with the flying crabs but I never found the exit
man they should bring back this franchise
Now I know where ecco2k got his name
bruh...... nostalgia
OMGGG my childhood 🥺🥺
Easy and fast ! incredible. Curiosity: on 26:11 playing the japanese version, there is no block to break the chain, you have to use a starfish hoop
i could never get passed the third level always wondered what the other leve;s looked like cool
I always got scared from this game, ide jump out of the water and all the fish would disappear and ide get sad and wouldn't play anymore lol
It's probably taken me 4 hours and using save states and guides to get through the first 20 mins of this video
I'm playing through and using this guide to help me and I'm 41 mins into the game and spent about 8 hours on it! What can take 1 minute in this video is taking me up to 30 mins to do myself 😮😢😂
But I will complete this game! 😅
This game used to scare me as a kid for some reason
I played this game a lot as a kid never understood it but it was so weird I played it to the end
