That dancing game.

[unbibium]

I knew that Dance Dance Revolution used a stepping interface, even before I'd gotten a good look at the machine. Now, having played it, I'm pretty sure this game could have been programmed for the NES using that track-and-field stomp pad that can now be found at thrift stores everywhere. Maybe someone will write one.

I think I did OK, for a beginner. I played two Beginner games, got "B" grades pretty consistently.

I rounded them off with a couple games of Prop Cycle, another video game that makes you exercise.

I'm not much of a fan of electronic dance music, though, so I don't know if I can get really into this.

Especially since I don't feel good about putting money into an arcade that has TAKEN AWAY ALL OF ITS CLASSIC GAMES. Yup. All of them. The whole section that used to have them is just a blank wall. I'd understand if they put some big expensive eight-player $3-per-game game where the classics were, but as of today, every single game designed before 1996 in that arcade is history. Maybe they're getting repaired. Yeah, that's it. Oh, I can dream...

DDR is the shit. I <3 that game. It is my most favouritest game in the whole wide entire world. That reminds me, I should start learning some paras for Para Para Paradisee (like ddr, but with parapara dancing). But that really sucks about the classic arcade games being gone. My boyfriend and I use Tetris to cool down between DDR stints. Now, we'll have to use MvC. Sigh.

If this is the place I'm thinking about, that especially sucks, 'cause I believe some of those classic games were donated by people who fixed 'em up and wanted to make sure they got played.

It's GameWorks, and all the classics at any GameWorks are all slot-machine style where you sit on a bench and play.
