Is SeaQuest DSV [SNES] Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

[@GregsVlog]

I was an extra on Season 2. Got to meet Roy Scheider and most of the cast. Was sad to learn Darwin was just a puppet. The sets were just silver painted wood. It was a fun experience

[@sirissac234]

You lived the dream.

[@shrim1481]

How was the craft services?

[@woadblue]

It was a puppet yeah but more impressively (in my opinion anyway) the puppeteer was a real flesh and blood dolphin. Super cool.

[@woadblue]

@St. Haborym it was animatronic and squeak operated so all the dolphin puppeteer had to do (his name was Octavian) was squeak commands into a microphone and the dolphin puppet did what Octavian commanded. Pretty nifty hey?

[@DGR_Dave]

SNES drunk, I recently stumbled upon this random SNES game called 'Hurricanes' and it's this weird soccer/Donkey Kong crossover (that's probably giving it too much praise lol). Not sure if you've ever covered it, but would love to see a video on it sometime! :D

[@Gatorade69]

Oh hey there DGR. I see you popping up on a lot of the channels I'm subscribed to, even the smaller ones.

[@Marc_Araujo]

The Hurricanes used to be a cartoon show when I was a kid. It was about soccer...don't remember any gorillas in it though.

[@protospy9597]

Hurricanes is not great but it is rare, so if you have it, congrats. But as a game, it’s not good. I just found out recently that it’s not a regular soccer game but more like a platformer similar to Kid Kleets. I’m sure he’d tell you to avoid it. Probably better than Kid Kleets at the least.

I hadn't seen this in years when one day my dad, my sister, and I were at a bed-and-breakfast. There was satellite television, and I wanted to watch SeaQuest DSV because I hadn't seen it in years. My sister wanted to watch Home Improvement because she wanted to see Jonathan Taylor Thomas, even though she could have just as easily done so at home. In the end, neither of us got to watch what we wanted, because my dad is scrupulously fair.

came here to find this comment

[@kri249]

I was just thinking of this show recently and how good it was for its time. Completely forgot there was a game of it. Comparing it to Star trek next gen reminded of this comedy show we had in Australia back then with Eric Bana before he got famous. Everyone on the bridge kept using star trek terms like warping and beaming which pissed off the captain. He insisted this wasn't star trek when someone said klingons were boarding and then suddenly Eric Bana shows up dressed as Worf with a brown painted plastic crap stuck to his forhead. I still piss myself laughing every time I think of it.

[@dividedbyxir0]

THAT'S the game I've been half-remembering for the past 20 years! I remember renting this as a kid and liking it. But then I forgot the name of it and could never find it again. I was starting to wonder if I had dreamed the whole thing. Now I need to go try playing it again to see if it's half as fun as I remember.

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

“Unspectacular, but solid” is a fair assessment of the show, too, if I recall. Among the Star Treks and Babylon 5 of its time, it was kind of just there, but didn’t make any major waves (pun intended).

it would be fun to see your 20 best super nintendo games. The essential snes games video is already 7 years old. and with so many games you have played it would be fun to see how your taste in games evolved and changed.

[@nathanbeets8229]

This looks like the kind of game that an inde developer could really flesh out to be something special. Make the missions procedural, and maybe have rogue-like collectable upgrades, and refine the mechanics, and you could have something really cool.

I loved this when I was a kid. It was one of the games that got accidently thrown out when I moved just before high school and it took me a couple of years to dig up a replacement. Dad, mom, and I loved season 1 but they gave up on the show midway through season 2 because they didn't like the changes in the story themes and some of the cast changes But I finished the season. I loved 2's finale but thought most of the rest was ok at most. It felt like they got a completely new set of writers between seasons or something. The same thing apparently happened for the third season, which I never knew about until years after it aired, but I liked those changes much more then I did the ones between the first two seasons. That said I still consider season one to be the best.
