Description: Seaman is a virtual pet video game developed and published by Vivarium for the Dreamcast. It was originally released in Japan in 1999, with a North American release by Sega in 2000. It is one of the few Dreamcast games to take advantage of the microphone attachment. The game developed a cult following for its dark humor, bizarre aesthetics, and innovative gameplay. Seaman was released multiple times, including a limited edition demo version titled Christmas Seaman that was released in Japan in 1999, alongside a limited edition red Dreamcast and a PlayStation 2 version in 2001, titled Seaman: Kindan no Pet - Gaze Hakushi no Jikken Shima, the first edition of which came with a microphone. A sequel called Seaman 2 was released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 in 2007. Additionally, a PC spin-off called SeaMail was released for Microsoft Windows, with the Seaman being able to interact with the user's applications from the desktop. A version of Seaman for the Nintendo 3DS was also planned, however it was cancelled during development. Seaman is considered a unique video game because it contains limited action. The player's goal is to feed and care for the Seaman while providing him with the company that he needs. The mechanic operates in real time, so the player is required to check on the Seaman every real-time day or he could die. A portion of the Seaman's knowledge is random trivia. When he asks what the player's birthday is (and the player responds via the microphone input), the Seaman will share significant events that happened on that date. Although the Seaman becomes fairly domesticated, it does not stop insulting the player or making less-than-friendly remarks
