Gameplay footage and a small text review of Aquanaut's Holiday on the Sony PlayStation/PS1/PSone/PSX in HD 1080p on the ePSXe emulator.

Review: It might be just me, but I wasn't even able to figure out the goal of the game. You're supposed to build a reef and interact with the creatures of the sea but I wasn't able to accomplish either. There's not tutorial of any kind and no tips. The game is rather obscure. The graphic

Review: Let me start this off by saying that this game is pretty bad. The graphics are really not up to par with great titles like Resident Evil and Crash Bandicoot that came out on this beautiful console. This game feels like something you could play on DOS. The sound effects are terrible, the game is hard. I did not enjoy the game I must say. Has anyone ever played this game ? I'm curious....

Here's a description of the game: (not from me)
The ocean is another world. Beneath the surface of the sea, all the sounds and the stress of society are muffled away to nothing. In Aquanaut's Holiday, the player takes the role of a renowned oceanographer has been pushed to the limit by the constant attention of the press, environmentalists, and the government. It's time to leave it all behind, on an open-ended mission to explore one of the last unmapped areas in the ocean and create a new coral reef there.

The game is played entirely at the player's pace. The only real goals and time limits are those that the player sets. The main point of the experience is simply to explore the virtual undersea environments. The game provides several ways in which to interact with the wildlife, and information gained from the local sea creatures can provide clues toward how to design a better coral reef. There are shipwrecks and ruins to discover, dozens of species of fish and sea life to observe, and no reasons to hurry.
