Ecco: The Tides of Time (Sega CD)

The Sega CD version of Ecco: The Tides of Time features a Redbook audio soundtrack composed by Spencer Nilsen, who also composed music for the previous game on the Sega CD.

To do:

There are at least 4 unused audio tracks on the game's disc.
- 3 of them are leftover from Ecco the Dolphin on Sega CD.

Debug Menu#

Similar to the first game, a debug menu can be accessed by pausing the game while Ecco is facing the screen and pressing A, B, C, B, C, A, C, A, B. The first seven options are the same as the first game's, and the remaining 5 do exactly as they say. The music tempo doesn't do anything though. And the message displayer doesn't show any either, only puts you back into the level.
