S2E02: Ecco the Dolphin -or- Glorious Porpoise
Mike, Jaymo, and ocean enthusiast Cori Gibb dive into "Ecco the Dolphin" (1992) on the Sega Genesis in their epic quest to research & review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this splashy episode we explore the unseen alien invasion that sunk Atlantis, Jacques Cousteau's hilarious foray into 90's marketing, and the shockingly clever way dolphins get high beneath the waves.
Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal for our catchy new theme song!
