Ecco the Dolphin - PC (Windows 95) Version

This is a demonstration of the Windows 95 version of Ecco the Dolphin. The SFX and the graphics are tight! Whenever I start up the game, however, I get an error dialogue which says: "CD play functions not available, unable to play music." This is the reason that you hear viper.fox's Arranged Ecco OST "Split the Stream of Time" being played by Windows Media Player at the same time. Anyway, there isn't a video showcasing the beauty of this lost and forgotten PC title, so I've come to do the honors. Enjoy! (:

Can we have more videos of this game please

i really want to see what the asterite looks like on this version.

@dobindave Not a problem! Seeing as I finally have it working 100% properly (for some unknown reason) I'll have to record more footage at some point.

I did leave my disc behind, so I'll probably add in some other audio (just like with this video).

I actually found this game CD for Windows 95 the other day while cleaning out a drawer! I can't get it to run on XP though...keep getting an error message about DLL files. Can anyone help me? ...keeping in mind that I'm not exactly a computer genius. Any simple solutions?

@TheMacawlady Maybe you'd have luck if you had the Ecco PC Wizard? I got it to work on XP with that, so give it a try. It took me about 4 tries with that program before it decided to work for good, and the results are amazing! :)

Grar! You beat me to it!

But thank you for providing this! Did you purchase the game or download it? Was it the Caverns of Hope PC Rip? I've gotten the audio to work on there about 3 of the 40 times I've tried, so don't feel bad about it saying it can't play the music. LOL.

Thank you for the video! Really cool!

@akpokemon Strangely, I got it to work on XP, no virtual machines running at all. I don't know why, but after about the 3rd or 4th time trying to patch it with the Ecco PC Wizard, it just magically works flawlessly.

@Vazecktomi

Great look forward to that i have the original copy on disc but it

will not work on vista or 7.

I had this for the Sega CD, and it remains one of my favorite games of all time to this day. The soundtrack is amazing.

I still run XP Pro SP3 and have never had a problem getting older games (95) to run on it. Sometimes it's best to copy the contents of the CD to the root of a partition, then install from there, not the CD. Vista & 7 on the other hand, forget it. When they stop supporting XP I'm keeping this PC as a retro/emulator console.

@TheMacawlady im no expert, but when it comes to dll files , theyre usually just missing and i would google the name and find a download; afterwords i would place it in the appropriate folder.

I wish I still had this game...
