🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 It is the Christmas season! ☃ and time for a nostalgia mini-series! I have dusted off some old drives, so let's see what's on them! I have put information in the video description if you want to learn more about the videos. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Bonus points if you can guess which DDR Extreme song I used to make the template for the top and bottom. The score will increase with the beat of the music 😉

Setting aside DDR, this video is such a time capsule of the early to mid 2000s and the arcade scene. The fashion, the technology, and the arcade machines themselves. Many of these arcade machines are long gone, and can't even be found in most arcades anymore. No social media. No one looking down at their smart phones. Everyone just paying attention to what's in front of them and not looking at their phones. Take me back to the 2000s please!

It was a great time to be alive! Sure: Train and bus journeys were boring if travelling alone, but we had the social skills of debating politicians haha! Do they even have LAN parties anymore? The last time I went to one, I brought my CRT with me, but that was probably back in 2004

The fact this is in German is hilarious considering the fact that DDR had to change it's name to Dancing Stage in Europe due to a conflict in Germany with the initials

@@jmokiedm Funnily enough, nobody would say dancing stage here. As players, you would invite your friends to play DDR or em1/em2. Nobody ever said dancing stage. Only the people marketing the product would say that

@s34nvideos wouldn't casual players call it dancing stage tho? I've seen some videos of casual players playing it (mainly from the UK) calling it dancing stage Unless it's just a Germany thing idk

[@s34nvideos]

@@jmokiedm Not really no. Casual players call it a dance mat, or dance machine... Usually dance mat. I can't recall anybody ever calling it Dancing Stage anywhere

Wow, we have a documentary about a game that barely exists in our country
