We've all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I'll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

Ecco the Dolphin is literally impossible without a guide.

designed that way to make more money on people renting it over and over to try and beat it IIRC

I am not really seeing it. I did finish it without a guide back then. It was the Windows 9x port, but I don't think it changes much.

Really in my case a guide would not help for the hardest parts, which were mostly the crazy moves needed to push those floating things to break rocks and to swim against currents with boulders.
