Quick evolve
Set the Dreamcast’s system date ahead several days for faster evolution. However, the tank will also not be maintained for that amount of time.
Quick evolve (2):
A way to speed up the evolution process is to talk to your seaman, clean the tank and do all that for him. Then change the date on you dreamcast up by 2 or three days. Do this only after you tend to his needs.
Quick evolution into Gillman stage
While playing the game, you will see a shell at the bottom of the tank. Keep tapping the shell until it starts to eat your newborn Seaman. After they are eaten, tap the shell more until the squid completely comes out. It will squirm, and eventually after tapping it enough, it will die and the baby Seaman will appear and will be in the next stage (Gillman). Hold A while talking into the microphone to speak to your Seaman.
Temperature and oxygen never fluctuate when game off
To keep the temperature and air from fluctuating when the game is off, simply remove the batteries from the VMU that Seaman is saved on. -From: Drklrdsth00@aol.com
Talking to your Seaman
It is good to talk to your Seaman frequently. You need to teach them how to talk. Try to talk as clear as possible. Hold the A and talk into the microphone. The Gillman stage is the stage when it will first start to talk. Use these words when talking to your Seaman: Hi, Hello, Hey, No, Yes, Seaman, Fish, Fun, Play, (and more). Experiment, but do not call it bad name or it will become unhappy. Also, remember to feed it in the morning and at night (two times every day).
unlock dr gasse’s journal
once your seaman has evolved to the frog stage, exit and save then on the its ok to shut off your dreamcast, hold all buttons except for the start button and hold for 40 seconds and let go then wait for an hour and you should have it on your screen, tis is extremely useful since it is also a guide book with more secrets!!!!!!
Infinite food
Note: This trick requires two VMUs. Start and save a new game using a second VMU. Connect this VMU to a VMU that has an ongoing game. Transfer the food from the new game to the ongoing game. Repeat this as needed for unlimited food.
Kitchen Appliance Awareness Message:
Insert the Seaman Dreamcast Disc into any CD player and listen.
Move The Rocks:
Move the rocks around the aquarium by grabbing one of them (X + R trigger) and pressing left and right. You can actually move one of the rocks so that it covers the air hole. Eventually when your seaman is big enough it will help you move the big rock in the back which will drain the water in the tank.
Secret ending:
During the course of the game Seaman will ask you several questions. When he asks you what is your profesion then say you are a wizard. I won’t spoil the ending for you but it is really funny!
Give it a name:
When you get far enough in the game it says you can give it a name. Just hold A button to talk to it and say “I want to give you a name.” He will then agree and you can name him.
Keep him happy:
Whenever you put the clock ahead on the VMU and you get back to where you left off except for a day or two later, add air and fix the heater. Then put the gillmen in a good mood! When you leave for that long they get mad and when they grow up, if you had never tickled them then they are very moody. Also don’t slap them much…it is fun, I know but too much and they could become very mean.
End Credits:
When Seaman evolved to the point of being a frog and left the vivarium, try this :
Tap repeatedly on the glass. You will hear some whissle and then some beat music. Seaman will start to dance and you will see the end credit. You need to keep tapping on the glass otherwise end credits will disapear and Seaman will stop dancing. The entire scenes takes about two or three minutes.
If you quit before the end, Seaman sometimes will say “I’m pooped!”. If you stop after the end credits have been all displayed, you should hear him say “Good workout !”
Drain the aquarium:
When the seaman gets old enough he will help you move the rock to drain the aquarium.
