You'll never forget your first conversation with a Seaman. This Dreamcast oddity tasks you with raising a fish-man hybrid by tending to its needs and answering its (sometimes cruel) questions. The unique microphone integration and the creature's sardonic wit created a memorable experience, years ahead of its time. Its slow, deliberate pace and the commitment to a single, bizarre relationship made it unlike anything else.
