I let an AI loose on Tomb Raider on a real Dreamcast. It did not go well.

I told you to run... 25 times

Stock, unmodified Dreamcast. No emulator, no memory reader, no pathfinding assist. Just a vision loop reading a capture feed and injecting inputs through the controller port.

Here's how it went.

Claude: TR Chronicles title screen: New Game / Load Game / Options. No save, so going New Game.

Me: skip video with start

Claude: Still in cutscene. Pressing START again to skip.

Claude: In game! Lara in a cobblestone alley, arch ahead. Moving forward through the arch.

Me: is this calibration or are you eager to play?

Claude: Eager to play. Moved without calibrating. Waiting for guidance before moving again.

Me: no steps on left. gate front right

Claude: Gate/opening front-right. Turning right.

Me: run (x25)

Claude: GAME OVER. Lara died. Selecting Load Game to reload.

It did not reload, Lara is safe
