Hello and welcome to the English Wikipedia, 24.98.179.223! I'd like to thank you very much for your contibutions to the Ecco article. ^_^ However, there are some things I took issue with and rephrased, tweaked, or simply manually reverted. I hope that we can discuss these issues so Wikipedia's Ecco article can be even better.
All in all, most of what I took issue with was writing style and what may be factual errors from one or the other of us. I look forward to your response. Once again, welcome, and happy editing! -- Sparky the Seventh Chaos 02:34, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
I'm sure I've seen a version of the game on a PC. Am I completely mad? - anon

I'd like to comment on this:
""Ecco left the frozen north and found the Asterite, the oldest creature on Earth, who spawned all life there." Woah, woah, wait, where is this ever stated? I removed the bolded bit".
The theory is that he created the other life forms and so on, but it is never said, so couldn't it be: "who is thought to have created all life"? I'm new to this, so I'm not sure.
Well, I just put the article in several categories - all the various systems Ecco's appeared on... except the Game Boy Advance. I thought I should get some opinions first — in that case, Ecco was one of three games on the port, so would it count? I'm not sure, myself, so... let's get some sort of rough consensus.

Strangely, even the most well-informed sites hardly ever mention the PC Version of Ecco. I think me (or someomne else) should at least put a note of it into this article. I have bought the PC version two days ago ( ! ) and have never known the console versions, because I never had consoles.

This article needs a video game infobox. See Super Mario Bros. 3. Timbatron 19:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I have the Game Gear version and I clearly remember the Sega screen accompanied by a dolphin saying "Seeeeeeeee....Gaaaaaaaaaa". I always thought that was great. 67.188.172.165 22:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The game summaries need to be separated. This article is getting rather long. 67.188.172.165 22:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
One spinoff missed in this article is 'Ecco Jr. and the Great Ocean Treasure Hunt!' for the Sega Pico (storyware/edutainment) ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Pico 146.222.119.22 21:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Should spinoffs really be discussed here, or on the (series) page? 71.145.178.119 07:51, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I know the Ecco games were available on GG, but... I believe they were all remakes. Does anyone know which games were ported to GG? I'm almost certain ToT was, but I'm not sure about the other two Genesis Ecco games. -- Sparky the Seventh Chaos 00:24, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
They are indeed remakes, they are very different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.207.117.248 ( talk) 01:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I know it was well recieved, but how by how much? Titan50 ( talk) 16:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Good question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.158.96 ( talk) 08:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
On the Sega CD version, does anyone know the titles of the various tracks? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.193.220.29 ( talk) 19:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I remember a memorable television advertisement for one of the Ecco games back in the early 90s, but I can't remember which one. It featured a sea captain (supposed to be like Jacques Costeau?) reminiscing about Ecco, or some-such. -- NeuronExMachina 19:17, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Darn, I can't find anything about it online, and am hesitant to add info myself, since my memory might be flaky. Seriously though, for whatever reason this was one of the most memorable tv ads I'd ever seen, if only because it was a very different approach from how video games were typically advertised. -- NeuronExMachina 20:32, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Even though I know you likely won't see this, I just wanted to give a heads-up on the commercial in question... It's amazing that something so obscure would have found its way onto the internet, YouTube to be specific, but nevertheless it has arrived. It can be viewed
here.

I changed the link to my website from ultimate.arkonviox.com to http://wwww.arkonviox.net Arkonviox.com will no longer be used except as a mirror website to Arkonviox.net.
Just to toss it out there my website is an Ecco the Dolphin website that also works like a wiki, every page on the website can be modified with the exception to the main page since that has to be vandalism proof.

I see the release date in the article listed as 1992, and a source is cited at the bottom listing 1992 as the date on the instruction manual. However, when putting together the infobox, I see July 30th, 1993 as the release date on two seperate sites, gamefaqs and mobygames. Anyone know which is the correct release date? Timbatron 23:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
does seem odd, doesn't it? i'm really not sure from memory. wouldn't like to bet if it was '92 or '93 81.155.246.76 ( talk) 23:56, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
