At the Science Center in my town, which is pretty large, there is a "health" exibit, and there is stuff like a drunk driving sim, and interactive buttons, etc. Today, I went and walked in the health exibit. Right there in front of me was a Pump it Up machine. I stepped on to see where I put in the quarters, but it was on free play! I began to play and some other people couldn't believe I understand how the heck to play. There was a little sign next to it that read something like, "Today, videogames can promote exercise. Games like Pump it Up and Dance Dance Revolution are both popular dance games. These games have been shown to actually provide sufficient exercise."

(BTW, I can't remember the actual name of the version of PIU, I know it said "The 2nd international dance floor")

I think that's a Premiere 2 machine from 2001. Decent songlist, although easy by today's standards. Five stars, because it had the excellent song: Swing Baby!
