Summer and DDR

Back when DDR was just starting out here in the states, there was a group of hardcore players from the Twin Cities that used to come over and play on my machine during the summertime. We dubbed these "gatherings". There would be about 10-15 of us just having a good time in my garage just letting loose on the machine and just having a good time in general. There was pizza, silly antics, wrestling in the grass and the legendary "Z" chases around my neighborhood. Now most of the original crew have moved on to bigger and better....well, they just got lives.
In this pic, Freakmasta (AKA the robot) owned all with Z next to him as I watched.
The new DDR crew seems a bit young with most of them being 15-18 so I probably wont be doing any gatherings at my place. We'll see if SuperNova comes out soon though. I just may change my tune.
Gametap introduced a few new classics to their already impressive line up. Blue's Journey, Legendary Wings, Magician Lord, Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, and World Heroes Perfect.
There has always been a soft spot in my heart for SNK games. Most of them were harder than hard, but they had great graphics, personality and some of the best Engrish known to man.
