Ecco Jr.
''Ecco Jr.'' is a video game in the ''Ecco the Dolphin'' series, released by Sega in North America in April 1995 and in Australia in November 1995. It has the controls and basic gameplay of the other two Mega Drive/Genesis titles, but is geared towards younger players, lacking the high difficulty of ''Ecco the Dolphin'' and '' Ecco: The Tides of Time''. Gameplay In this game, a younger version of Ecco goes to see Big Blue, an ancient blue whale, completing tasks such as herding seahorses, swimming through rings, and finding lost balls for sea lions along the way. The gameplay is similar to the other ''Ecco the Dolphin'' games, but mainly revolves around using these abilities for solving simple puzzles and problems. One key difference is that the player character cannot drown by staying underwater too long. Likewise, there are no enemies to attack the player character. Two other playable characters were introduced: Kitnee the baby orca (there is also a bottlenose dolphin character n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is a feature of some Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, BSD, illumos, UnixWare, and macOS in which the system console of the computer can be used to switch between multiple virtual consoles to access unrelated user interfaces.

Appaloosa Interactive Games
The Appaloosa is an American horse breed best known for its colorful leopard complex, spotted coat pattern. There is a wide range of body types within the breed, stemming from the influence of multiple breeds of horses throughout its history. Each horse's color pattern is genetically the result of various spotting patterns overlaid on top of one of several recognized base coat colors. The color pattern of the Appaloosa is of interest to those who study equine coat color genetics, as it and several other physical characteristics are linked to the leopard complex mutation (LP). Appaloosas are prone to develop equine recurrent uveitis and Nyctalopia, congenital stationary night blindness; the latter has been linked to the leopard complex. Artwork depicting prehistoric horses with leopard spotting exists in prehistoric cave paintings in Europe. Images of domestication of the horse, domesticated horses with leopard spotting patterns appeared in artwork from Ancient Greece and Han dyn ...

Action-adventure Games
The action-adventure genre is a video game hybrid genre that combines core elements from both the action game and adventure game genres. Typically, pure adventure games have situational problems for the player to solve to complete a storyline, involving very little to no action. If there is action, it is generally confined to isolated instances. Pure action games have gameplay based on real-time interactions that challenges the player's reflexes and eye–hand coordination. Action-adventure games combine these genres by engaging both reflexes and eye–hand coordination and problem-solving skills. Definition An action adventure game can be defined as a game with a mix of elements from an action game and an adventure game, especially crucial elements like puzzles. Action-adventures require many of the same physical skills as action games, but also offer a storyline, numerous characters, an inventory system, dialogue, and other features of adventure games. They are faster-pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
