    How to traumatise an Ecco fan in four words:
    *”WELCOME TO*
    *THE MACHINE”*

    You know, having key information only in the manual was pretty common back in the day.

      The remark was more for humor than anything.
      That said, having no HUD or exposition still felt a bit odd. It just kind of drops you into the action.

    I actually quite enjoy playing this game but then I play it on a handheld and use the save quite a lot! 😂

    Great vid! In my my native language we call a hummingbird kolibri so my brain was a little bit confused for the whole video
    Also I spotted a dark Chao 🥺

      I believe it actually does say that in the manual too, I forgot to mention it though.
      And yes! it's one of many chao lurking around the house.

    It was amazing that you two were able to beat it, I enjoy the time it was streamed on twitch. Sad that it was impossible to even progress, from you struggling I would of never picked the game up. The visuals are great but thats it. If it was just the first level, it would of been an interesting educational video game.

      I beat the game off stream, but at least 75% or so was played on the Twitch Channel.
      It got really boring on the later half anyway.
      But you're totally right, if they leaned in harder, I could totally see this as an "Edu-tainment" game.

      It definitely helps with the charm, which is the strongest thing its got going for it.

    Great video! Had no clue this game existed. I was a huge Ecco fan and would've prolly picked this up if I had known about it

      Yeah, I don't think that most people did. While I love the cover art, it doesn't do a good job explaining what the game is other than Hummingbirds.
      Plus the 32x just kind of came and went, I do wonder if something like the Sega Neptune happened, would it have stood a better shot?

    I got to 04:35 when I recognized the music from Thunder Force 4. Subscribed.

    Its the best Humming Bird based shooter for the 32X.

    kolibri proved the 32x could have been great
    sega made bad choices competing with themselves 😞
