Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the first Playstation 1 game I’ve included as part of “Keepers”, but I do still have my good old PS1 here, and I do have my dance pads ready to go. It’s been years since I’ve seriously gotten into DDR, but at one time, I was pretty damn good at it. I could burn through “Smoke on the Water” at maniac difficulty, and fly through Afronova and Drop the Bomb without breaking a sweat. Okay, maybe I did break a sweat. But still.<\/p>\n

There aren’t many good exercise games, and I’ll take DDR over Wii Fit any day. Some of the editions had some very odd J-pop, but the original DDR USA had a lot of really good stuff. I guess there’s only so much I can write about the game, but rest assured that it holds a special place in my heart, and that I won’t be getting rid of those dance pads anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
