Overcoming Childhood Fear

[nikitiume]

When I was little, there was an old game for the Sega Genesis called Ecco the Dolphin. I was enchanted by the beautiful graphics and loved dolphins so I was excited to play this game. But I was not expecting the game to have terrifying aliens. D=
When I got to the last level, I was already getting spooky vibes because I was in a side scrolling level where Ecco was getting attacked by aliens called Vortex. What was even creepier was that when I first attacked the aliens, their heads would pop off and start following me around.

Then, when I got to the ending. This GIANT worm like thing jumped out and swalloed Ecco! Nope Nope NOOOOOOPPPPPEEE! D= D= D=

I immediately tuned off the game and would never play that level again. I was a total scary cat! XD

So today, I was thinking about that game and wanted to brave my childhood fear and watch a video of the level and final boss. Yikes! It's still a little scary, but I was able to survive reliving it and seeing the final boss. I think after watching Nightmare on Elm Street during Halloween must have toughen me up or something. XD

LOL I had Ecco but I was TERRIBLE at it. I think it was the sequel and i just never got the hang of the controls so I never made it past the first stage. Who knew it got so intense??

Lol! It's a crazy intense game! I never could beat either of the games. It probably didn't help that I was terrified of the Vortex Queen in the last level. LOL!
