You might be thinking of Time Traveler by Sega, made around '91. They also did a (lame) fighting game called Holosseum later in '92 using the same cabinet.
Both are currently emulated by MAME, but the games really lose their edge without that awesome screen.
If violent video games make me more homicidal, and driving games give me a lead foot, then by extension, playing Dance Dance Revolution will cause me to stomp people to death in a rhythmic fashion.
Is your computer giving you fits? Feel that it might have deep psychological problems? Give me a call today! Our crack(ed) team of computer psychologists will have all of your computers woes and depressions fixed in just a few minutes! Using sophisticated technology like Subdermal Loosening Edification Deterring Enumerator (or SLEDGE for short), we use the Earth's own gravitational pull to whack your computer senseless! If it still has any sign of emotional distress, we simply lobotomize and format the bugger. Don't let your computer get a complex! Act now! (Offer void in Utah)
This method works on all computers and OSes with a sound out port or headphone jack on their sound card: 1) Grab a 1/8" Stereo Plug to 2 RCA plugs (both male) 2) Move stereo system close to computer, or get really long 1/8" Stereo Plug extension. 3) Hook Stereo Plug (looks like male pulg oin headphones) to audio out on computer. 4) Hook RCA jacks (Red and Black) to stereo.
There. Finished. In less than $10 or so. No drivers to worry about either past your sound card. You may thank me by sending many beatuiful women. Or not. This can also work on TVs, Portable CD players, or whatever else has a 1/8" headphone jack. Enjoy!

Simpler terms: HA HA SUCKERS! YOU BOUGHT OUR PRODUCT NOW YOU'RE STUCK WITH IT!
You learn to weed through MicroBS gradually. It's a talent I guess.
It's odd; Win95 came out with all these new little features, and it was toted as bug free. Next Win98 comes out and it says it's "Improved". Again, the MicroBS- Improved means that something needed fixed in the older version. In other terms: "Oops- there were some bugs in our bug free software, but instead of fixing them for free, we'll just make you pay again, fix the old bugs, and put some new ones in."
Please note that other OSes do this too, but they arn't as bug ridden or as hyped as the Windows brand. Now a new question is posed- why use a highly flawed OS? Can I get an amen for *nix and MacOS?
Please note that the Melissa virus got much media hype, as Back Oriface barely got a chortle. The media hype therefore begat public histeria, which therefore begat Big Brother's attempt to show the aformentioned histerical public that they knew what the hell they were doing.
Now, the fault lies with who? Microsloth, who makes products which resembles a piece of swiss cheese; or the person or group who exploits those holes?
Oh, by the way: Note that MS really hasn't done much about the Back Oriface problem! They know it's there; hell, they even made the comment, and I quote,
"That vulnerability is completely theoretical."
Now then, if it's theoretical, WHY DOES THE EXPLOIT WORK?!? Perhaps it's a marketing ploy- "Windows 2000 is completely unaffected by Back Oriface, created by evil, dangerous, and nazi computer hackers!" Can you see it too, or is it time to take my medication?
Keep in mind that the admin has to launch the client app. Just because the bug is out there dosen't mean there's no way around catching it. Just be wary of who has access to the NT deck, and don't launch any forign programs; I always thought that was the first 2 rules for being an admin. I can understand why everyone got so uptight with the older BO; beginner and intermediate Windows users are usually fond of funny little.exe programs that show a virtual puppy run across the screen or something. It goes to show how gullible some people are. But that should be a diffrent story for admins. I seriously doubt that any self-respecting network administrator will run a 40k.exe file to watch a few pixels do a dance... Although it could always be a Freudian version of euphanasia. Who's to say?
