Recently got a CRT and have been hooking up my old systems to it. Never got a chance to play Dreamcast on one since I bought mine just a couple years ago. Felt like I transcended when I finally did

It’s been quite the crazy year, folks! Within only a few months time, we’ve gotten both Speed Devils Online and all three Aero Dancing Games revived thanks to the efforts of Shuouma and flyinghead. And it’s not over by a long shot! Ladies and gentlemen, Quake III Aren’s reign as the only (official) online FPS […]

Picked up a Hyperkin Dreamcast cable that outputs via HDMI. I tried it out and it’s displaying in this tiny box on my TV. The box on the cable has no settings and the TV is a 1080 Sony Bravia.

I’m not sure what options I have aside from stretching the image via the TV settings but if anyone can assist, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

It’s an exciting day for the Dreamcast online community as yet another game has been brought back from the dead thanks to a joint effort between Shuouma and flyinghead! This one has been in the works for a long time now as Shuouma started working on it back around 2017. Being a Ubisoft game, it […]

Does anyone remember Seaman? That game was great! Why are you giggling? I'm just talking about Seaman! Why does everybody giggle when I say I want to play with Seaman???

Oh, right. Some of you may be younger and have no idea what I'm talking about.

Seaman is a game that was released on Dreamcast. It's a game where you talk to a fish. No, I'm NOT joking. It came with a microphone. There was a fish, with a humans head. You talked to a fish. And usually it would insult you. It was narriated by Lenard Nemoy.

No, seriously. I'm NOT joking about any of this. That's real. That happened. When I was 16, I used to get high, and talk to a fish with Lenard Nemoy. Though, to be fair, he was only on the title screen as far as I remember. He would insult you for not having a life if you played too often. I once played for 30 minutes, saved, and turned off the Dreamcast. Then my friend came over, and was like "Why is there a microphone on your controller?" and I was like "You wanna talk to a fish?" and he was like "Dude.....I know you're high.....but what the fuck ARE you smoking right now?" And then we turned the game on, and Lenard Nemoy would always give updates about the tank enclosure since you last visited. But he also insults you for playing too much. It had only been a few minutes since I last played, and he said "It's nice to have you back so.......soon. If one didn't know better, one might think you're a bit obsessed. It is not necessary to tend to Seaman so often. That's not to say we don't enjoy having your company, but you need not revolve your life around a fish."

Even in it's day it was not well known, or understood. It was a batshit insane concept, executed with crazy core concept ideas as the foundation, and then they just said "Who can we get as a voice actor for the title screen who will be taken seriously in the sci-fi genre, but also needs some money right now?" and there was Lenard Nemoy.

STOP DOUBTING ME!!! I'M SERIOUS!!! THIS GAME WAS REAL!!!!

And we need it back. I just put a dreamcast emulator on my phone, and was in the break room at work. Just as I pressed the talk button, I said "Hello Seaman" as someone walked into the breakroom. He looked over at me like "......what did he say?" and then he hears my phone say "Yeah.....hello......" in a sarcastic tone. And I pressed the button again and said "Tell me a story, Seaman" and then he hears my phone say "What?" And I did it again. And Seaman said "No. I'm mad at you right now". And I said "Why are you mad, Seaman?" and he flug his poo at me.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Seaman is ABSOLUTELY a dick? Yeah, he's a total asshole, but that's what makes it funny.

He eventually starts asking you questions about your life, and keeping a log of your answers. And then he'll get to know you based on your answers. He'll ask you if you have a girlfriend. If you say no, he'll say "Well, there's plenty of fish in the sea.....or something like that. Hey, don't look at ME that way! I'm not lonely enough to date YOU! sigh Though, I suppose I could do worse. You DO take pretty good care of me."

We all have a device in our pockets right now that has a microphone, and we can all have fun in public getting weird looks. WE NEED A NEW SEAMAN GAME!!! Preferably as an app on our phones, but I'll take console/pc ports. Whatever gets me talking to a fish.

I never thought I'd see the day. Big thanks to the collaborative efforts of everyone involved!
