Yes, and DDR machines cranked so loud you can barley hear the machine your playing.

Even though I'm over 50, I would be OK with DDR. My son.plays at the highest speeds, but I'm content with Light mode.

This would be one of my bigest wishes:

To play the real machines of Pac Man and Mr. Do (!!!) again.

I miss the arcades we used to have here. Sure I sucked because of the different controls but that wasn't the point. The atmosphere is what made them awesome.
