The first DDR arcade machine appeared in Japan back in 1998. Dance Dance Revolution has been around for a REALLY long time for a video game franchise. It turned into a pretty epic quest.Īllow me to explain. So I called around to some of the local game stores I see who had DDR pads in stock, and started researching prices. My husband sympathized, but then said, “Seriously, why don’t you just get the game for one of your THREE home game consoles?” Defeated, I walked home, seething in impotent, DDR-less rage. Only to discover upon my arrival that the employee I spoke to on the phone had been confused. Two weeks ago, I was told at last that the machine was fixed! Yay! There was much rejoicing! So I hustled my butt on down to the arcade, all ready to put in a massive marathon DDR session.
So I dialed back to calling once a week, just checking to see if the parts had come in. Finally, one of the managers told me that the motherboard was shot, and they were waiting on parts. I called the bowling alley pretty much every day for the first week, asking if it was repaired yet. Seriously, about a week after I wrote the above post about my deep and abiding love for DDR and how happy I was that there was an arcade machine in my tiny ass, backwards, southern Oregon town, the machine broke. THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR TWO MONTHS NOW. I say “I used to” because the machine is broken. My local bowling alley has a lovely DDR arcade machine, which is a little worse for the wear, but still awesome, and I used to play it once or twice a week.
I think I may have mentioned previously how much I love Dance Dance Revolution.
