Story:Dance Dance Revolution (ダンスダンスレボリューション Dansu Dansu Reboryūshon?), abbreviated DDR and also known as Dancing Stage in earlier games in Europe and Australasia, and some other games in Japan, is a music video game series produced by Konami. Introduced in Japan in 1998 as part of the Bemani series, and released in North America and Europe in 1999, Dance Dance Revolution is the pioneering series of the rhythm and dance genre in video games. Players stand on a "dance platform" or stage and hit colored arrows laid out in a cross with their feet to musical and visual cues. Players are judged by how well they time their dance to the patterns presented to them and are allowed to choose more music to play to if they receive a passing score.
Dance Dance Revolution has been given much critical acclaim for its originality and stamina in the video game market. There have been dozens of arcade-based releases across several countries and hundreds of home video game console releases, promoting a music library of original songs produced by Konami's in-house artists and an eclectic set of licensed music from many different genres. The DDR series has inspired similar games such as Pump It Up by Andamiro and In the Groove by RoxorShow more

The very first game of the Dance Dance Revolution series. Even though the 1st Mix doesn't have a large song variety, it certainly showed that video games and dancing make for an entertaining combo. DDR will definitely be one of Konamis greatest franchises, and the 1st Mix is a short but sweet introduction to it.
Why Dance Dance Revolution OG PC Version Needs to Be on GOG
Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), the rhythm game sensation that defined arcades and living rooms alike in the late '90s and early 2000s, had a PC version that many fans today barely remember—but it deserves a comeback, especially on a platform like GOG.
The OG PC version of DDR brought the arcade experience home for players who didn’t own a PlayStation or access to the console versions. With USB dance pad support and a selection of iconic tracks, it let players tap into the heart-pumping gameplay that made DDR a global phenomenon. The simplicity of its visual design, paired with its addictively challenging rhythm mechanics, gave it massive replay value.
Re-releasing the original PC version on GOG would do more than just serve nostalgia. It would help preserve an essential part of music game history in a DRM-free format—ideal for both collectors and rhythm game enthusiasts. GOG’s reputation for compatibility updates could also ensure this older title runs smoothly on modern operating systems, with potential controller (and dance pad) support integrated natively.
With the resurgence of rhythm games and retro revivals, DDR’s original PC version deserves a spot in digital preservation. It’s time to bring back the beat—on GOG, where timeless classics are meant to live.

Total Immersion RacingTotal Immersion Racing is a bare-bones rendition of Gran Turismo 3 or Sega GT 2002, albeit without the preponderance of cars and special effects. What's left over is a driving simulation that offers the rich gameplay of these heavy hitters, as well as a graphical show that's nearly on par with them, but none of the frills or splash that would attract casual players in search of a vicarious speed rush. It's a game for people who want to discover what the weekly toil of GT-class competition is really like, who understand that actual racing often entails driving around the same course lap after lap without much fear of hazards or obstacles, and who don't mind that the ultimate reward is the ability to drive a handful of different cars for various teams on tracks located throughout the world.
