I vividly remember my neighbor (same age) playing Ecco on the Genesis growing up. I had a Genesis as well, but I had games like Aladdin, Streets of Rage 2, and Panic on Funkotron. Everyone had Sonic, etc.; I knew I would have exposure to those titles regardless, so I'd intentionally rent and buy other games .
There's just something very special about Panic on Funkotron for me. I know the first one is quite popular as a fetch quest game. The "sequel" definitely resonated with me in the perfect way as a kid in the early/mid 90's. Nostalgia bias all the way, but glorious is said game!
