Chunkymonkey is the sh*t.

Wow, nostalgia... flooding in... I need the whole thing. Seriously.

f*cking ay right EVERYONE 5IVE THIS MAN!

Nice animation of a classic title.

Wow, I remeber Ecco

I could watch this for hours.

dolphins are f*cking gay

-1

never played this game

oh god too much nostalga

Seriously, that game was the sh*t. The music was haunting and the game was actually hard and a really good play.

Christ, talk about scary *ss music for a dolphin game made when I was 10. Yikes.

No more sites about old games, they're getting too abstract.

Asian people catch and eat dolphins :-(

want to vote 20.

I catch and eat dolphins.

Game had great music, but I only played it a couple times. I remember I could never beat the Lagoon level in the 1st one. IT WAS f*ckIN NUTS.

old game ytmnd's too abstract? theyre a ytmnd... devoted to an old game... WHERES THE ABSTRACT

oh god. My Mom told us that my sister was allowed to play this game on my Genesis. Pissed me off. I wanted to play Joe Montana's NFL football '94

5 for genesis

magical.

Joe Montana's NFL football '94

best football game ever

lmao I remember when Ecco first came out it was the most uber and advanced game ever. (before most of you ytmnd'ers were born....like 1989 or whatever)

LOL! HAY GUYZ, I REMEMBER THIS GAME, TOO! THAT MEANS I SHOULD 5 IT ON PRINCIPLE. LOL! OH, YTMND! YOU'RE SUCH A CARD!

Who f ucking cares? This game licked donkey balls and so did Sega Genesis F.UCK I HATE YOU SEGA FANBOYS!

That game was f*cking trippy.

we know all your secrets

I traded this game to a friend for Pilotwings, that was a good trade.

Best. Game. Ever.

However much I love the Ecco games, I won't lie... They scared the sh*t out of me. The aquatic calm yet unsettling music mixed with the idea that the only way a being could save the world is to do it underwater... I don't know. 5'd, anyways.

Not Funny. Incredibly Sexy. Dead on.

Yes, yes it is.

genesis memories...

YOU WIN THE FREAKIN INTERNET

Man I remember that game made was f*cking weird... +5

Needs to be added to the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console.

5 for Ecco

THIS GAME SUCKED SO BAD

5 for Ecco but it wasn't the best genesis game ever... I'd say it's the Shining Force series or Streets of Rage 2.

That's...it? Besides, SHINING FORCE is the best Genesis game.

All game screen YTMNDs are getting lame. Not as if they never were...

I don't know what this game is but the music is disturbingly epic for a game about Dolphins, therefore I feel this justifies a 5.

5 for dolphins

I played this game sooo much o_o

I think this is one of the only games I could never beat as a kid. nostalgia trip indeed

You can play it on Gametap, or possibly DL an Emulator and a ROM if you really wanted to play it

Quite assuredly one of the most disturbing games my poor fragile child mind could handle at the time. I have weird memories from that game...

I never f*cking beat it.

Not original or funny at all.

oh man, this brings back memories

5 because the incredibly dark and morbid music doesn't really fit the title...

omg... 5'd!!! i SO had this!!! nostalgia at it's best!!!

Where's the joke?

I thought that game wasn't very fun.

that game was really creepy.

o sh*t, logged in just to 5, best game ever!

More people need to play this game, it's like Jet Force Gemini...one of the best games of the generation. Too bad the ending was a cliffhanger and they never made part 3.

teh funnays were lost at sea.

ecco f*ckin a

THANK YOU EMULATION! This is Ironic, because I spent the weekend revisiting the Genesis and the games on it I had missed. Ecco and Ecco 2 were exactly as I remembered them. Beyond Oasis, not so much.

they better add this and golden axe to the wii

HOLY sh*t AN OUT OF CONTEXT 90s GAME REFERENCE! EVERYONE MUST AUTO FIVE! ...f*ck that. I hated Ecco.

first one was better.

i loved that game

OMG!! I had it!!

boy I feel pretty stupid cause I still play this game today JUST CALL ME MR. BEHIND THE TIMES

@people whining about nothing funny@So I decided to make a serious ytmnd for once, get over it. I thought Ecco was a kickass game, so I decided to dedicate a ytmnd to it. If you don't know what it is, maybe you should google it, get a rom, get a genesis emulator, and play it.

I never got past level one :(

good times, lousy aliens in the first one, scared the crap out of me

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I still, to this day, don't know what this game is about.

This used to be my favorite sega game.

Please let this NOT start a fad of game intros.

Because i F8king LOVED that game.

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5

The Ecco the Dolphin games are the only games to make me cry. The music is so SAD.

You do realize that Ecco is the defender of the future. A f*cking dolphin. Defender of the future. That's an automatic 5.

Five for nostalgia!

I have that game for PC :)

That music kind of sounds like Requiem for a Dream. I think that's what that's called.

eh, it was ok

Umm....okay

sega had the sh*ttiest sounding music. and ecco was a horrible game. if i remember, they just wanted to push the graphics of the outdated system.

Please let this start a fad of game intros

This is some pretty awesome music.

Good god, that brings back memories

what am I giving you credit for here, exactly?

They need to bring that game back.. :)

That game was trippy as f*ck. Like, eating a mescaline pizza and playing it would blow your f*ckin' mind.

well, the music sounded too evil to be about a dolphin at best

Back in the days when a videogame intro MEANT something, god damn it!

you're joking. 1'd because ytmnders are f*cking stupid.

Wow, I remember this game when I was about 10. The haunting music and gameplay literally scared the pants out of me.

Better than Doom Music

Would've been perfect if you just looped the dolphins without the logo.

5 because downvoters are f*cking stupid. :)

5'd for nostalgia.

GOOD GRAPHICS

I don't really see what the big deal is... it's just an opening screen.

...just the opening screen to the most awesome, unnerving and creepy game ever. Also all the puzzles in that game were really hard. And the music made you feel truely alone...and scared.

Why is this on the front page? Very poor.

best feeling of being truly f*cked and alone in a game. ever.

5'd for the darkest thing you'll ever play on the Genesis... from a bunch of Dolphins as well!

never played it

Dude, I remember this game!!! Anyone who downvotes this is obviously too young to remember what a classic game really is.

How'd this make top 15?

That's one of my favorite Sega games!

5 just for Ecco the dolphin! oh it brings back happy memories! i remember getting it when i was a kid for my pc. one of the first games i had on cd-rom and my 55mhz computer played it without breaking a sweat :P sega also upgraded the music for the pc cd-rom version - it was actually very good.

Looks vaguely familiar...

This game was f*cking amazing.

Christ, I remember this game

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS MY POD? srsly a sweet game

Trippy game... Anyone else reminded of that scene in Requiem for a Dream with the music?

Ecco = instant 5.

What are these f*gs talking about? Its the most stupidest concept for a game since ET for the atari.

Great game, but where's the funny?

Ecco had a game on the Dreamcast right?

Worst game of all time.

is there a point to this?

Wow... brings back some memories. Thanks Chunkymonkey!

OMG ECCO

Needs more NEDM.

Hell ya, before it went all 3d crap. 5 star all the way

Swim slowly past eight-arms or he'll smack your bitch *ss until you die.

when the dolphin went through the O, I cried with joy

i loved this game. music creeped me out though...

wow this reminds me of being a kid

I love this game.

Bad ass.

OMg, talk about the hardest dolphin game in the world! I 5'd it for scary music.

i played the PS2 version of that game...

:-o

The music alone is to remind you how alone Ecco really is. One moment he is happily with his family and the next they are gone. Hard game, and fun at the same time.

Thanks for reminding me of this game...and how hard it was. Next to Jurassic Park for SNES.

I could never beat the octopus...

Gr9 game. And FYI under US law ROMs from discontinued systems are 100% legal.

what happen

omfg memories

Great game, didn't get the ytmnd though.

greatest game for genesis, nostalgia

Ecco. Man, THATS going back.

I loved that game.

Hardest game ever!

Sega genesis ftw.

made an account just so I could 5 this...stupid dolphin game kicked my ass

f*cking sweet. For more nostalgia check out marble.ytmnd.com

that game was so f*cking stupid now that I look back on it.

loved the game, but this ytmnd isnt really funny or anything

awesome game but... that 24 hour rule dosent exist... just letting you know

game was badass hard

I could just never get past that level where you save the baby orca. I saved it, and yet the level never went ahead to the next one! I was stuck forever on that level! I loved this game's atmosphere, though.

i miss that game lol

Ecco was the dolphin of christmas past from the future

Ecco the f*cking dolphin is the f*cking sh*t. IM MOIST!!!!

Three for nostalgia. You really didn't do much here.

I had this game as a kid and I still don't know what I'm supposed to do.

MOst pointless videogame ever! That dolphin got some nice moves though.

nostalgia - remembering how things use to not suck

love it, the giant squid scared the hell out of me though

i dont get it...is this suposed to be funny?

Made my day

Ecco = win

Damn this game is serious...

this brings memories QQ

ownage

I hated that game

this is so f*cking lame. all you 5ers are complete loosers who fall on the floor and masturbathe to anything- especially dunsparce. "wow! the starting clip to an old video game thats lame and 5 seconds long" give me a f*cking break.

Yay

OOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDD ...Ftw

5 for Ecco

Lol Screw the downvoters who have nothing to do but insult stuff...

Way to represent the Genesis

Back in the day

Ecco.. what a great game... dolphins vs. giant aliens..

Yeah it brings nestalgia back and whatever. It's not really entertaining though.

notalgic

Game sucked. So does this.

4 for not putting in NEDM!

I miss the point. Sorry.`

that game WAS magical. 5'd!

lol @ mrapgar

1'D BECAUSE I f*ckING HATED THAT GAME.

this game always depressed me lol

This music haunted me throughout the whole f*ckin day. I swear whoever made the MIDI synthesis for genesis is a maniacal evil genius. Creepiest bass synth ever.

Even after 12 years, the music still gives me the creeps.

The newer PS2 one was teh sh*t. I love that game's music.

"This is so f*cking lame. all you 5ers are complete loosers who fall on the floor and masturbathe to anything- especially dunsparce. "wow! the starting clip to an old video game thats lame and 5 seconds long" give me a f*cking break." Lol, Loosers and Masturbathe - is that what you do when you FAP FAP FAP in the shower?

lol: i find it funny how people smart enought to realise that while the game rocked, but how this ytmnd sucks are imediately downvoters. Please explain why this ytmnd is good? Hmm the game is good? well that dosent explain sh*t. The game is good, the ytmnd sucks, go back to gradeschool if you dont have the inteligence to figure this out. Using this logic, every sonic ytmnd should be in the top list. So dont upvote a crappy site cause you like whats related to it.

lol

aw teh nostalgia!! Thanks man!!! :D

I don't care if it's a horrible YTMND, it's Ecco!!

uhm, i really cant decribe how much this sucks... wow, thats never happened before, this must really blow

Thank you boonw for explaining why this sucks, i just couldnt fathom why these goddamn children would 5 this crap

lol, downvoters fail. People are voting for the concept here, not the quality. The original Picard ytmnd had absolutely no redeeming qualities other than a song(probably made by someone else) and a picture. Yet, the concept was great, and people liked star trek, so win. The feeling wouldn't be quite right if I mixed in some random fad like NEDM to make the ytmnd funny. This is mostly for nostalgia effect, and if that's not enough for you, tough.

What the hell was the purpose of this? I wasted my time waiting for something cool, not freaking dolphins! And the game was easy asn pointless.

Never played this game, but that music is masterful. Time to fire up GENS when I get home. :)

i remember this game. really old

wow, never played the game, but the ytmnd was so well done I want to

I have the Sega CD version...complete with cg movies! It's a hard game, and the ending is crappy, but the music and challenge are both awesome!

I LOVED THAT GAME, played it when i was like 5, that game is so hard, but i knew so many secrets.

Any of you guys play the third one for playstation?

Huh?

um.. the game sucked.

Oh god, i remember the level with the flying dolphins that you had to hit so theyd toss you into the air. The level after that was just f*cking impossible. Still though, you didnt edit anything and this isnt creative

Sluggish gif, but this PWNS the internet with its coolness :D

this game wasted my childhood, time I will never get back.

That game was the sh*t.

what a nice piece of sh*t

Uh, I don't get it. Ecco is a good game, but I think I'm missing the joke.

haha sdf

Kinda lame, nothing much more than appeal to nostalgia for 5's, with no work of your own done. I remember the game well, didn't like it all the much.

OH MY GOD

This is the saddest f*cking song ever.

5'did for reminding me of Nostalgia and MS-DOS shareware games, though this isn't a shareware..

I f*cking love that game. The DC version rocks too.

When i was a kid, I got so sad by the music, i started crying

Astonishing! Just this morning I remembered this intro composition and imagined what it would sound like when played on a piano.

I used to play it constantly man too bad I don't have it anymore

ok this is a rather bad idea for a ytmnd. P.S.:i did play the first one and i hated it(one reason is that echo always didn't do what i wanted it to do)

f*ck that f*cking dolphin. That game is HARD.

one of the BEST Sega, and Games period, ever.

+10 nostalgia

Yes. Love it. Brings me right back to the third grade. I got that game for my birthday that year. That was also the year I became fat and lazy, because I stopped physical activity to devote my life to this game.

Fad time

That's some evil screen music. Sounds like Requiem for a Dream

..So?

f*ck YEAH!!

have that game

Uhh, yeah, what is up with this YTMND?

holy crap, this music is pretty freaky... never would of put this with a ecco the dolphin game....

What's up with Sega and trippy games? Shadow of the Beast, Ecco, Splatterhouse...

good times

go ecco go I belive in u ahhahahaha that game owwnsnzz my fav scene is when timmy is going over the bridge and ecco jumps onto his face and starts molesting him hahah that was the sh*t

That game blows.

such great music in this game. Kronos Quartet totally bit off it.

GD that music is sweet. Pointless, but 3 for music.

ecco music=win 5'd for that game

YTMNDS don't have to be funny, they just have to entertain. That's why this site should have a 5 average.

Blackthorne was way better.

what a f*cking trippy game

man I used to frikkin love ecco... but on the same token it was kinda dull ytmnd... You should of shown the scene from ecco 1 where they all get sucked into a vortex and sh*t hits the fan...

Ummm... Ecco The Dolphin= Greatest f*cking game EVER. Theme music sounds borderline Requiem... weird...

chunk people aren't voteing for the concept, the picard ytmnd song was, yes your correct, made by somebody else but it was funny with the picture and everyone knows what star trek is, sh*t 94? I was 11 years old

what?

Love ecco, not a fan of tides of time, it doesnt feel the same as ecco1.dont know why this got 5s, but im glad it did for ecco love :)

Meh - this game frustrated me a lot ... 4'd. I like the music =) Automatic Downvote Algorithm has picked up those who said the Genesis sucked - I have a Model 1 and a CDX.
