This has got to be one of the shortest Mega Drive games that I have ever played. This is a child-friendly version of Ecco the dolphin, which sees you play as the titular mammal as he plays tag with his friends, seaches for various sea creatures and uncovers treasure throughout the eighteen levels.

Now this game wasn't even released in Europe as far as I'm aware, which is probably a good thing. The game obviously rips its graphics and music from the other two much better Ecco games on the system, but removes any element of challenge because Ecco cannot drown or be harmed - there's no way to fail. The best kids games at least challenge them to achieve better, but there's nothing here that persistence won't solve. I wasn't speed running the game, but even I finished it in 40 minutes and it has no replay value, so there's little to no value for money.
