#2If you like that, then you need to check out SeaMan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaman_(video_game)
"The narration is voiced by Toshiyuki Hosokawa in the original Japanese-language version and by Leonard Nimoy in the English-language version. ...
The 'Seaman' is a form of freshwater fish (the color and shape of the fins suggest that it is a Carp) with a very lifelike human face. It possesses human mannerisms and behavior with which the player interacts. ...
Seaman is considered a unique video game in that it presents limited action. The player's role is to feed and care for Seaman, while providing him with the company that he needs. In fact, the player is required to check on the Seaman every day of real time, or he could die. A portion of Seaman's knowledge is random trivia. When he asks what the player's birthday is (and the player responds via the microphone input), Seaman will then share significant events which happened on that date."
It's like a super weird Tamagochi.

#4Wow... I read Dreamcast Junkyard for years, starting back around 2005 or 2006, had a few fishing games for the Dreamcast as well as the fishing controller, and have never even heard of this one!
This one is even more interesting than some of the weird ones I know about, like the Dreamcast in the shape of Sonic's head with the built-in TV.
So glad to see Dreamcast Junkyard is still at it after all these years! :)
Still no English Segagaga though :(

oh man I remember the hype around this game in magazines back then! It's AI would "adapt" to your inputs and that was a 'wow' in my mind back then.
all in all Dreamcast, imho, was the perfect console. You could emulate PSX games at higher, smoother res and sharper textures, there are emulators for various games now.
I wonder how much it costs to pick one up now...

#6It's scary to think about all the games we're going to lose because so many games are implemented as SAAS nowadays. As someone interested in gaming history and the preservation of games it's actually quite saddening.

The gaming console space up to a couple of generations ago, prior to digital distribution, is pretty well covered (and I've contributed ~75 titles and variations of console-based prototypes myself to the public), but most modern gaming is going to have a much more pronounced preservation issue.
Consider also the download-only releases of console games, usually by indies but not always, nowadays on the big 3 platforms; other than avenues like Limited Run Games that provide for production of limited physical runs of previously download-only titles, they're lost to the aether eventually.

I wonder whether the AI was as good as it looked in his video.

#9I love Dreamcast. I'm thinking about upgrading the GDROM drive with the FPGA chip. It's only a matter of time before the laser fails.

#10Long time ago, I read somewhere that SEGA, the company, has very little source code and hardware development artifacts saved from their Dreamcast days (and even earlier than that). They either lost or just junked majority of it as time went on.
Do other companies care so little about their own history? If I was running one of these companies, I'd save a copy of every game, console, HW development platform and source codes of every game in a vault somewhere.
