Spotlight Welcome to the strange, aquatic world of Seaman . Seaman is Sega's latest game for the Dreamcast. Whatever you want to call it, it's a huge hit in Japan, and the American version has already taken off, drawing tons of attention. At the Seaman release party, even sociological experimenter Will Wright, designer of The Sims and Sim City , was interested in the social experience that is Seaman .
Seaman is one of the most unique gaming experiences ever seen.
You use the controller to improve the temperature and air quality in the tank, and then you wait. Eventually, between six and eight gillmen are born. For the next few hours, the critters continue to grow, exhibiting speech patterns that sound like human baby talk. As you answer the questions, you begin to see that Seaman remembers what you said and draws his own conclusions. The bulk of the game takes place with the Seaman in fish form.
