We’re currently hard at work on documentation of the next known Ecco II prototype, dated April 29, 1994, at which point there will be another joint release in partnership with Hidden Palace. In the meantime I have some surprises that I will continue to bring the Ecco crowd.

After some friendly correspondance from Hauke (formerly PsySonic) of Caverns of Hope, I’ve launched the beginnings of ECCO Portal– DARK SEA’s index of Ecco related resources on the Internet. Included are links to CoH, The Atlantis, and Ultimate Arkonviox.com. I expect this list to grow substantially in the near future, and currently have about 100 items to add to it. The goal, for anyone who hasn’t heard it yet, is an index of all Ecco-related resources on the internet, however big or small– as well as information on how to contact major players in the Ecco community. Feel free to leave any links/contact info you desire in the comments section of that page. Henceforth it is available under the left sidebar, in the “Interactive” section.

That’s it for this weekend; expect more from me this week! Epicenter out.

It’s taken much blood, sweat and beer, but the godawful Game Gear version of Ecco II is finally documented. This 4-page behemoth contains screenshots of the entirety of the game’s stages, comparison to prototype Genesis/MD version, never-before seen easter eggs, and will save you the trouble of playing the actual game. It’s right over here.

Tomorrow, expect another update featuring some amazing new Ecco arrangements and more! And now I must go pass out. Catch you on the flip side. I think that means tomorrow.
