One of the oddest games ever created is to make a comeback: Sega has announced that Seaman 2 is in development for the PlayStation 2.
Dreamcast owners will undoubtedly remember the original Seaman, which essentially consisted of a talking human-headed fish (clearly inspired by Monty Python's Meaning of Life) which could understand and respond to words delivered by players to a bizarre gamepad controller with a built-in microphone. Seaman 2, according to reports, will feature a Chinese caveman, who will be able to understand entire phrases rather than individual words.
If your Japanese is better than ours, you'll want to head to the Seaman 2 site, where you will find a big picture of a caveman, as well as several human-headed amphibians which may well also feature in the game. Apparently, Seaman 2 will work with the original controller - the official site features a downloadable utility which lets owners use their Seaman controllers with Windows - as well as the PS2's USB microphone. If we dig out any more details at the Tokyo Games Show this week, we'll share them with you.
