The Free & The Uplifted
I legitimately to this day do not know what the point of that game was. Even after reading the booklet. My brother and I used to be like :what: and give up.

according to wiki:

The player character, Ecco, is a bottlenose dolphin who travels through time to combat hostile extraterrestrials in Earth's oceans and on an alien spacecraft.

The game begins with Ecco as he and his pod are swimming in their home bay. One podmate challenges him to see how high into the air he can jump. When he is in the air, a waterspout storm forms and sucks up all marine life in the bay except Ecco, leaving him alone in the bay. Upon leaving the bay to search for his pod, he contacts several dolphins from other pods, who tell him the entire sea is in chaos, and that all marine creatures had felt the storm. After talking to an orca, Ecco travels to the Arctic to find a blue whale named The Big Blue. The Big Blue tells him such storms had been occurring every 500 years and directs him to the Asterite, the oldest creature on Earth. He leaves the Arctic and travels to a deep cavern where he finds the Asterite. Although it has the power to aid him, one of its globes is missing, and needs it returned. However, this can only be achieved by traveling back in time using a machine built by the ancient Atlanteans.

Ecco travels to the sunken city of Atlantis, where he discovers the time machine and an ancient library. He learns the cause of the storm; it was a harvest of Earth's waters that was conducted every 500 years by an alien species known as the Vortex. The Vortex had lost their ability to make their own food, and so every 500 years, they would harvest from the waters of Earth. Learning this, he activates the time machine and travels 55 million years into Earth's past. Ecco locates the Asterite in the past but is immediately attacked by it. Forced into battle, he manages to dislodge a globe from it. This opens a time portal and he is sent back into the present. After receiving the globe, the Asterite grants him the power to turn his sonar into a deadly weapon against the Vortex, as well as the abilities to breathe underwater and to slowly regenerate lost health. The Asterite instructs him to use the time machine to travel back in time to the hour of the harvest. This time he manages to be sucked into the waterspout with his pod. Once inside the waterspout, Ecco makes his way towards the Vortex Queen, the leader of the Vortex race. Eventually, the Vortex Queen is destroyed and Ecco rescues his pod.


Yea so basically....:why:? I know for sure i just swam around jumping outta the water eatin the fishes and bumping into the rocks...then i'd turn it off and do it again later

i dont know shyt bout no aliens and just learned that they were even supposed to be in the game

Came into say this one. :mad:

I could win maybe 1-2 fights in Arcade Mode but that's it. After that the AI would just go HAM on me. They didn't even have an easy mode. :smh:

I don't think I ever even got to the Eternal Champion.


Man, you got ONE chance to beat the boss and if you lost you started over completely. I only beat that game once, with the caveman cat and that was after playing it way too much. The ending was like a mini story that wasn't close to worth all the effort I put into beating the game...never played it again.

ninja gaiden 1 and 2 on NES was easy as fukk to me. i used to finish them games every time i played em.

mega man was alright though, did any of yall use the pause button with the electricity power? yall know what im talking bout, every time you pause and unpause it hits again. that shyt made it easier to get through them dr wily stages.

battletoads was a muthafukka.

one of them Wizards and Warriors games had me like fukk this, i think it was part 3.

and metroid always had me like fukk it, i mean i enjoyed it but i never could pass it.

Yeah, but I skipped to the last levels to do it, lol.


I paid my homie $100 to beat Battletoads SIMPLY because I didn't believe it could be done. He had to get an emulator and play the game non stop for 3 months until he actually did it. He said it was the hardest thing he's ever done in his life. :guilty:

Just seeing this cover makes me mad :umad::why: This is one of the hardest games ever and I gave up. I would beat so many nes games, but this one had me humbled :sadbron:

This game is straight fukkery, so many days and nights of playing it straight, just trying to beat it. My mom actually took the NES away, just because she thought I was obsessed.

I am going to beat these games one day...one day!!!!
