Ecco the Dolphin, the fabulous game series running since 1992 is the main topic of this website. Here we will publish every single piece of Ecco-related information we can get, to keep the Ecco spirit alive as long as possible.
I've added two new (old) skins. One of them may please some of the long time regulars of COH. It's the second skin we installed in 2002, after COH became popular. Just look for yourself! The other new skin is a pre-release variant edition of our Atlantean skin, the standard skin of this website. It is just as useful as the rest of them, just adds a little more variation. Have fun!

As promised, and sooner than even I thought, we're adding some content to COH. Like for the first time in ages! ;P In fact we are just bringing some old stuff back. So, from a very old version of COH, the PS2 DotF Gallery section returns! It was actually pretty nice to look at the concept art pieces again, so we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

OK, in response to the pre-release soundtrack of DotF we will release the whole thing now. Sebastian prepared a nice CD image of the DotF prerelease version we have! So those of you who know how to deal with CD writers and making a homebrew disc work with a Dreamcast, please give yourself a go at these files! Just one thing, we compressed the CD image and split it into three digestible parts. The password for the RAR file is www.cavernsofhope.com - and the CD image is self-bootable, you won't need a boot disc at all! So, for more detail about the steps after decompressing (i.e. how to burn a dreamcast disc), there is Google for everyone's aid!
The file splits are located on mirrors, so that evil people don't bog our server down:

If you have no idea how to even start and don't bother either, I have set up already a list with differences to the final game, and I will document those soon (as soon as my TV-card starts working again...). And on a side note, we have more things planned for the close future, some stuff is already in preparation. So, keep being excited for new stuff!

Surprise Surprise! We've returned with some breaking news. I've dug out the old Ecco DotF pre-release version and looked through the stuff that Sebastian ripped once for us! So, what I'd like to present you is some pre-release soundtrack of DotF, with some very unknown and never-before heard music tracks by Attila Heger. Now ain't that something?
And whatelse is there? Well, it really has happened. After so many years of CoH we have had the first Ecco fan couple getting married. And of course it's noone else than Yvonne/Asti and Jeremy/Siris. They got married on 5th September here in Germany. I'm so sorry I couldn't come to celebrate, but I wish you two the best of luck you can get! And that also in the name of the rest of the COH crew! Good luck you two, and talk to you soon!

Our redirecting link www.cavernsofhope.com was unavailable for some time. This has been fixed again.
We've added a "Links" website, be sure to check them all out! In the past months there has been some nice evolution concerning Ecco fansites, we're pleased to see Ecco get some fresh attention, even though we haven't heard anything new for many years now!
Talking about that, we're pleased to present you some of Xythar's efforts to create his latest so-called "Let's Play" video. He recorded himself playing Ecco DotF, while narrating the game with a great voice and style. For those who could never play this game or just want to relive it through the eyes of another, this is a great opportunity! Check it out! Thanks, Xythar!
