'''''Space Channel 5''''' is a console game, which was first released in Japan for the [[Dreamcast]] on December 16, 1999. It was later released in the United States on June 6, 2000 and in Europe on October 8, 2000. The producer of this game wass [[Tetsuya Mizuguchi]], the man who is also behind ''Sega Rally Championship''.
 
 
 
''Space Channel'' is the first game to feature [[Ulala]], a character whom would go on to cameo in several other Sega titles. It also features a cameo by [[Michael Jackson]], whom is known as ''Space Michael'' in this game. The game is similar to ''PaRappa the Rapper'' and earlier memorization games like ''Simon'' where the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance.
 
 
 
This game, along with ''[[Space Channel 5: Part 2]]'', were released in North America for the [[PlayStation 2]] on November 18, 2003 as part of a package containing both games called ''Space Channel 5: Special Edition''.
 
 
 
==Commands and gameplay==
 
The {{up}} button corresponds to the aliens raising both paws or Ulala raising both hands. Pressing {{down}} causes Ulala to lower only her right hand as her left hand contains a microphone. When either the {{left}} or {{right}} button are pressed she moves her hand in that direction. The Morolians will mimic Ulala's moves so pressing the directional pad will affect them also.
 
 
 
The {{A}} button is used for shooting at the Morolians or simply to perform another dance move. The {{B}} button is used for rescuing hostages (In report 2, however, in the first phase of the boss, the {{B}} button is not used for shooting directly at the hostages). There also appears to be mispronunciation of "shoot" when the player presses either the {{A}} or {{B}} button. In the manual, it says "shoot", but the Morolians say words that are quite similar to "kiss", "chin". Ulala, Pudding, Jaguar and Evila say "chu', while Fuse says "shoot" or "chu".
 
 
 
In between these scenes, Ulala appears to be taunting the opponent (if the player gets all the moves correct) or have messed up the dance (if the player gets incorrect moves or misses a move). Ulala is given a certain number of hearts in case she misses a move or get an incorrect move. Performing a incorrect move will cause her to lose a heart. If she loses every one of her hearts she will then hunch over and become upset, with Fuse shouting at her.
