  Stepmania:

  StepMania Put this on your notebook computer and take your dance pad on the road! (Get a dance pad with a USB connector or check out these adapters).

  Or... If you aren't able to play a dancepad game at the moment and suffering from withdrawal, you could always try out Flash Flash Revolution:

  DDR:

  
  Dance Dance Revolution is a very fun game. Sure, people pooh-pooh it the first time they see it. Until they've spent a night playing it at a video game party, that is -- then they find themselves out buying their own copy. Some good songs include: Speed Over Beethoven, Break down!, Dream a Dream, End of Century, Irresistiblement, Butterfly, Daikenkai (this makes me wonder what Rammstein would be like if they were Japanese, also the lyrics start sounding like "Knife and Fork" if you play this one awhile) -- yes, I tend to like the fast ones! (Someone actually found this song on my page while searching "Knife and Fork," so I'm glad I added that. =:3)

  There's also the "Zoo Bar" and, er, dance music: Block Rockin' Beats, Spin Spin Sugar, Get Busy, Cotton-eye Joe, Another Night Another Dream, Around the World. Also, some older classics: Pump up the Volume, Twilight Zone, You Gotta Move It, We are the Champions, We Will Rock You, Kids in America, I Like to Move It, Flashdance; and this other category that defies description: Kung Fu Fighting, In the Navy, I Will Survive, La Bamba, YMCA. Of course, you could always get the disney mix and be DDR'ing to Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious if you really want to.

  • Dance Dance Revolution all about the game in general and its origins. Also has song lists.

    • Something very, very fast
  • DDR Freak Step charts, songlists, FAQs and Walkthroughs. Also has locations of an arcade machine near you, in case you don't actually have the game at home.

  There are plenty of other interesting DDR videos, including a Counter-Strike one.. haha   There are also also videos of large groups of people "shadowing" -- an excellent choice for former country line-dancers. hehe

  If you'd like a little variety, check out Flow: Urban Dance Uprising, which has a hip-hop, breakdancing theme. You can stick to the dance pad, and your on-screen character will perform the breakdancing moves for you. This game does have some interesting features and catchy tunes... "Purple Perpendicular Phonics"

  More Video Games:

• Guitar Hero you too can be a Guitar Hero!
• SSX 3 This is a GREAT video game. It lets you do some remarkable snowboarding tricks that aren't possible in real life, but that's what video games are for. See also, SSX Tricky, SSX On Tour and the MerquryCity website.

  Online games:

• Perfect Pump Pump gas in Dog River (from Corner Gas). Odd that the cars blow up, but fun none-the-less.
• Come play games!! If you like pictionary, try Graffiti; Literati is the game for you if you like Scrabble (set up a weekly long distance scrabble game!); most people seem to like playing Pool; my favourites are the word games -- Word Racer is great if you can type fast; and of course, there are always lots of solitaire games.
