Yes, I admit I play it. Almost obsessively.

Here's a little about it:
DDR conceptually is a very simple game. There is a platform with four arrows: up, down, left, and right.

There are four stationary arrows at the top of the screen. There will be arrows that scroll up from the bottom of the screen.

When the scrolling arrows overlap the stationary arrows, you then hit the corresponding arrow on the platform.

It sounds simple but it isn't when it comes to super hard songs. Hard to describe, you really have to see it for yourself. Check out your local arcade for this game. There are home versions too, I know Goldeyes has played it.

I love games from Japan that seem weird to most people over here, but DDR just isn't one of them.

Now if that France France Revolution game ever came out...

Hehehe that would be damn funny!

I remember when we all played DDR on my friend's PlayStation at one of his parties. That game is sooo hard for half-blind, colour blind people like me. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/wink.gif

"Once in a while a programmer really writes something he's proud of, a slick, elegant, blazingly fast routine that stands as a benchmark against which other code will be judged by. However, this is not the case with TED's fill routine. This slow, stupid algorithm will casually fill one plane of data in a painfully creeping manner. Press ESC when it gets confused." - John Romero on TED (Tile EDitor)

Yeah, thats entirely too much exercise for a video game. Its like gym class all over.

lol i saw a drumming game in an arcade this weekend and some guy was drumming like a pro to Huey Lewis' The Power of love.

It was sweet cause it has the same interface as DDR as far as the screen goes so u can actually learn how to drum well

Was it the one with the MTV logo on it?
