My favourite rhythm game of all time. Can't play it with emulators because the input is extremely precise and sensitive to audio/input/display lag.

Can't play it with emulators? Input on most emulators should be completely lag-free.

I don't recall having any issues when I did a brief session just to show the game to someone that never heard of it.

One thing that comes to mind is a time when I couldn't get stepmania playable at a friends place but it turned out the sound was going from gpu hdmi to tv to sound bar via bluetooth and switching to pc 3.5mm jack to sound bar directly brought the audio latency down to less than the TVs visual latency and it had to be adjusted the other way.

I'm sure this game gave me my sense of rythm. Anyone else try the sequel, Umjammer Lammy? That game was ridiculously hard.

I wasn't any good but I played a lot of PaRappa and Bust a Groove back in the day.

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.
