Relive your trapper keeper dolphin dreams with the pc port of ecco for the sega cd, working fine on win 10. The dev behind this also made sonic 3 & K along with Sonic CD playable on windows too!

SEGA ported Ecco the Dolphin for Windows PCs back in 1995. With increased hardware capacity and a lot more storage on the CD-ROM format, the original console version was rewritten from scratch, upgraded and packed with awesome new features and goodies. The original Ecco PC version features redrawn high resolution graphics; the CD Audio soundtrack from the MegaCD/SegaCD versions; the 3D rendered videos from Tides of Time, save/restore functions replacing the password system, 3 difficulties and translations to several languages.

Wow I had no idea the original port even existed, let alone improved on the console release. Ty for sharing.

I loved this game so much!

From what I gather this is a pretty good port, it's easy to run and I like 1:1 ports instead of mucking around with emulation (even if old games can be a bear to get running sometimes on windows). Hope you like it.

Does this have widescreen support?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

No sadly, looks to be locked in 4:3 fullscreen

got a link to the sonic 3+k port?

https://archive.org/details/sonic-3-k/Sonic And Knuckles Collection/ pretty certain I used this, I downloaded the ISO and installed it using this fan installer https://gamebanana.com/tools/12307 it also launches the game and tweaks it like running sonic 3, sonic 3 and knux or sonic and knux. Gamebanana also has a mod loader too with some small mods.
