Seaman and Microphone

Step into one of the weirdest and most unique simulation games ever made with Seaman for the Sega Dreamcast, a one-of-a-kind virtual pet experience. Far from your typical pet sim, you are tasked with raising a fish-like creature that develops a remarkably human face, and the core of the entertainment is communicating with it using the console’s microphone peripheral. As your Seaman evolves through its bizarre life cycle—narrated with dry wit by the legendary Leonard Nimoy—it becomes a wise-cracking, sometimes insulting, but always engaging conversationalist, asking about your life, remembering your details, and judging your skills as a caretaker. Since the game progresses in real-time, you must check in daily to maintain the aquarium and keep the famously temperamental creature from dying, offering a bizarre, deeply immersive, and often hilarious novelty that was truly ahead of its time.
