Ever wanted to play Dance Dance revolution, but felt there wasn't enough seizure in it? Ever wanted to be in control of everything yourself? Well, now you can! From Homebrew Laboratories, comes:

DDR: Atari 2600 Edition!

Unlike normal DDR, where the game paces you, due to budget cuts and platform constraints (hey, there's no framebuffer on the 2600. You expect magic? Gumdrops? FAIRIES? No, this is REAL gaming, son.), YOU are in control of the pace! That's right! You have 10 seconds to get as many points as you can. During that time, the screen will turn one of 4 colors: Red, Green, Blue, or Yellow. Press the corresponding arrow key (as denoted in the lower right corner), and get a point! If you get it wrong, you'll lose a point! In either case, the screen will then flash with a different color. This continues until 10 seconds are up, at which time you'll get roughly 1 second for a breather until it begins again.

To download from GDrive: Ctrl-S or "File"->"Download"

Open the file named "DDR Atari 2600 edition.exe" to play!
