A series of platform games concerning a talented dolphin and the underwater habitat that he strives to protect from various and sundry threats.
Ecco: The Tides of Time was the second game in the Ecco the Dolphin series, a sequel to Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega Genesis, Game Gear, and Sega CD.
It continued the story of the first game and featured similar gameplay
with a few new additions. There was a sequel planned for Tides to finish the series as a trilogy. This game was scrapped and Sega released a spinoff called Ecco Jr. instead. The series was later brought back on the Dreamcast with an entirely different storyline in Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future.
