A game from novotrade (Ecco creators) for the 32X. A nice emu curiosity for everyone with a good machine (i have an 350 k6-2, and it runs slow). Find the emu and roms here http://www.32xroms.dk/ By the way, some years ago, in a 32x promotional video came a few seconds preview of an new Ecco game (it never was released). Only the tittle screen with a flat-polygon made Ecco jumping throught the "O". | ||

For people with very good machines, I've tried it on my 400mhz machine and it was very slow, from what I have heard you need a 600mhz+ machine to get a playable speed out of the emulators. Thanks you the info on the video, does anybody have anymore details or a copy of the video> |

I've got a playable ROM of Kolibri, but it took me ages to find the 32X EMU, and almost as long to find the Kolibri ROM.But it's worth it, it's a beautiful *but weird* game.I think the storyline is a load of intergalactic crystals fall from the sky, making the flowers the hummingbirds feed on untasty, wasps and bees huge and even more pissy than usual, and every other type of creature mutate into horrible monsters.Luckily you spoke to a different type of crystal just after the catastrophe which endows you with the power to shoot lasers and fireballs from your beak *?!*.I think Novotrade/Appaloosa should get an award for most original and freaking bizzare game ideas.Another weird thing about this game is there's no text, you don't get to speak to anything, which kind of makes it hard to play, but interesting nonetheless.And I remember that 32X Ecco thing.They were going to make a game for 32X, but unfortunately it tanked and the plan never came to fruitation.There were so many good ideas for that system that never worked...*sigh*. |

Indeed, why they never just ported over all the games to the saturn when the 32X crash is beyond me. |
