About this product

Product Information

Virtual pet game Seaman is one of the few Sega games that uses the Dreamcast's microphone, allowing you to interact with their Seaman and respond to its questions. As a simulation, the game's entire objective is to successfully hatch and raise a Seaman. Given a Seaman egg at the beginning of the game, you must check on it daily in real time in order to ensure its well being. Every day, players must inspect the Seaman habitat, using the controller's buttons to manipulate the environment, and communicate with the Seaman as it develops through its stages. Leonard Nimoy provides limited narration throughout the game, guiding you as you learn about your new charges.

Fun and weird!
If you're a vintage video game collector, it's rare to find this game intact and priced reasonably. Interaction through the microphone is a fun twist from the norm, and Leonard Nimoy's narrations are pleasantly nostalgic.

Strange and wonderful
This is unlike any other game you’ll ever play. And that’s why it’s a gem. Highly recommend merely for a different experience. It’s one of the many reasons I love the Dreamcast.

It is original. there is none equal on the Dreamcast.
The game compels you to be responsible for Seaman so it can grow. In talking with Seaman, there comes a time you forget to it's virtual, has intelligence and a personality that disturbs you to be a kind of virtual tamagotchi. It is highly recommended.

I like the idea of Seaman more than Seaman itself. I gave it higher scores than I think the gameplay deserves b/c much like much of the DC library, it deserves credit for thinking outside the box and trying something different. I do not have the microphone so I'm not sure if that would enhance the gameplay to a new level but I can't imagine it would.
