Yes, the game is called Seaman. Yes, you do use the microphone attachment to talk to the sea man. Yes, the narrator is Leonard Nimoy. I don’t make the rules, but I would like an explanation.

On the fucking Dreamcast, no less. This game existed in 1999 and was more interactive than half of the bullshit LLM AI chatbots currently on the market.
Dreamcast was so ahead of it’s time we are only now approaching it’s original vision.
There was a sequel for the PS2 in 2007 where Seaman lives on land and it works like a god game.
Apparently they also made a program for Windows where a gillman swims around your desktop and “helps you with your emails”

Jesus H Christ I forgot how bad AVGN videos were.
It’s weird because I discovered him in my teens in the mid 2010s and I still somehow liked them lol
Oh yeah, I watched a lot of them back then. I was an extreme stoner and needed to mong out to content.
Just so you know, “mong” is derived from “mongolian r*tardation” as a term for Down’s syndrome, so is both racist and ableist.
Ah, sorry. I shall strike it from my vocabulary. To be honest I should have worked that out for myself.
It’s all good, it’s definitely one of the harder ones to work out - saying people with Down’s syndrome look mongolian is so comically offensive I don’t think a reasonable person could easily deduce it.
No I knew that one. It was more that I never considered that the word I used back in the day for being blearily stoned (m*nging out) was actually the same word. Regardless, thanks for informing me.

Did someone take a monty python bit and make it a game?
Video games as an artform really peaked in 1999
The explanation is that in the 90s things like Call of Duty franchising or WoW addictiveness feedback loops or being nickeled and dimed by excessive micro transactions didn’t really exist yet, so publishers had to take risks on weird and innovative stuff, especially on disc based systems because printing discs is dirt cheap compared to cartridge manufacturing.
Yes, it was dope
thank you for putting this in my life
Lol I had this game.
