ecco the dolphin had a goal?? i thought it was just a tech demo about swimming around
@mavica_again When I was a kid, I never got anywhere in that game, and it was just swimming and ramming some fish until you ran out of air. As an adult, I looked it up and it apparently has some sort of insane story about time travel and aliens, completely bonkers stuff.
@wrosecrans huh?????? aliens???????????????????
@mavica_again I looked up a playthrough on Youtube because you reminded me that I had read about but never seen some of the stuff in that game. And yeah, the fact that I was terrible at this game as a kid seems to have really led to some selection bias in my assessment of it.
