We'll call this game Natsubi from now on since it's real title is far too long.  Well, back in 1999 there was this show on NTV Japanese TV network which featured a guy who wanted to become a popular TV Talent and like almost all of Japanese so called TV Talents, this guy had no talent.  So a few producers came up with the great idea for the guy to live ONE WHOLE YEAR in a small room with a camera watching him.  The guy couldn't go out for shopping or anything.  He had to live his whole life through the internet.  He also had no money so to get food he had to win it or win other goods then trade or sell them for cash to to buy food (home delivery only).  At first the guy had nothing in the room except an air conditioner.  He didn't even have any clothes which explains why he's naked on the game and box.  At one point in the year long show he did win some clothes but got pissed off by something and decided not to bother wearing them.  Now 4 years have passed and this guy is never seen on TV at all.  Looks like the producers of the show used the poor guys wish for TV stardom to make them selves some easy cash.

Well, the Dreamcast game is basically a simulation of this guys life.  But, there is a good point or at least there was a good point.  The game was on-line compatible and if you actually won something on the game you could go on-line and enter your personal code number in to the Natsubi No Heya home page and stand a chance of winning the item in real life.

By the way, Natsubi means Egg Plant which is what they TV show (CG EGG PLANT) and game used to cover his privates (^v^)
