First Thing’s First – Reality Check

The very first item you must obtain is a memory card [Visual Memory Unit

(VMU) sold separately] used to save and maintain the Seaman and its raising

environment, or habitat, data. The VMU to be used must have a minimum of

64 blocks of free memory available. Once the initial habitat set-up is complete,

you are required to continue using this same VMU in order to successfully rear

the Seaman contained within it. Consider this VMU to be both the Seaman and

its habitat, and handle it with appropriate care.

When you are ready to begin, connect the Dreamcast Controller to Control Port A

of the Dreamcast and insert the VMU into Expansion Socket 1 of the controller. A

VMU application, a storage matrix called “SM2000US._VM,” will be created to

the VMU. This file is similar to the mini-games and other VMU application files

used by other games. Only one VMU application can exist in each VMU. If

another VMU application already exists, you will be given the option of

overwriting the data. Select “Yes” to do so, however, this will delete the data in

question. Select “No” to cancel the set-up and then, either delete the data manually

or obtain a different VMU. Take care not to delete Seaman data when playing

another game. Note that both the “SM2000US._VM” and “SM2000US.USR”

files are required to continue raising your Seaman.

Insert the Microphone

As Seaman matures there will come a time when it will begin to converse with you.

A microphone has been included in this package for the express purpose of

speaking to your Seaman. Whenever you wish to play with your Seaman, always be

sure to insert the microphone into Expansion Socket 2 (see diagram) of the

Dreamcast Controller. Note that the VMU must be inserted into Expansion Socket

1. The Seaman software will not run if these two devices are not correctly inserted

in their proper places.

CAUTION!

The sponge protector attached to the top of the

microphone is intended to reduce excess noise

that may occur while conversing with Seaman.

Ingestion of this sponge by small children may

result in injury or death, so always be sure to

have a responsible guardian explain this before

allowing minors to use this peripheral device.

Do not attempt to remove or adjust these items while the Seaman

software is running. Doing so may not only adversely effect the software, it

may also result in malfunction of the peripheral devices.

Seaman is a one-player game.

Once you begin raising Seaman, you are expected to assume complete

responsibility for the care and upbringing of a living, breathing creature. So,

before you begin with the initial set-up procedure, you are strongly

recommended to double check with yourself that you are mentally prepared to

assume this important responsibility.

The first step you must take in preparation is to set-up the required equipment.

At this time, should you experience any tension-related symptoms such as heart

palpitations, perspiration, etc., resulting from the sheer weight of the

responsibility for rearing a Seaman, you may wish to loosen up a bit by

stretching or taking a bit of exercise. Once you are sufficiently relaxed, you are

ready to begin (do not turn the power of the Dreamcast ON just yet).

B e fo r e sta rting the set-up pro c e d u re, be sure to set

the inte rnal audio setting of your Dre a m c a st (ste re o

or mono) to match that of your TV speake rs. This

will ensure optimal sound quality for your game.
