Ecco: The Tides of Time — About this game
Ecco faces the Vortex threat again in a sequel built around underwater exploration, sonar puzzles and journeys between eras. The Asterite and other creatures provide clues, while new powers alter how Ecco handles enemies and routes. Oxygen and health remain essential resources. This Sega CD edition uses CD music; its stages and story belong to the sequel rather than the first adventure.
