This Atari version of Dance Dance Revolution, entitled Dance Dance Retrolution, is played to the tune of your 80’s favorite, “Mr. Roboto”. As the blocks scroll up the screen in sync with the music, you and your opponent are challenged to match that synchronization with key presses. The more accurate you are, the higher your score goes, but be watching your dance meter, because if you and your competitor can’t keep it up, it’s game over.

The player starts the game off covered in bees, flailing their arms in a comical fashion. They need to navigate a single screen field patrolled by bees to try and get to an item (like an epi-pen) to move on to the next level.

You play as Buzz, the Georgia Tech mascot, with the objective of trying to shoot rival college mascots. Buzz and the other mascots have the ability to navigate throughout the field and around the GT logo. The direction in which Buzz navigates is also the direction he will shoot at his rival mascot.

Release notes:

Atario Party by Jabari Brown, Deep Chakrabarty, Jacob Paul

We think that any game good or bad, simple or complex and high or low tech can still be fun when two people get to engage in competition. Everyone likes to win and those that lose will try and get a rematch so competitive games urge people to continue and play until someone is compelled to quit. We combined two of our game ideas to make one multiple mini-game variant, one half quick draw one half sumo.
