Like, it used to be one of the biggest franchises. Fucking everyone had some of those games. You couldn't go to a house without seeing a plastic guitar. It was a fun little game that encouraged hanging out together and you even got to listen to songs you like. Then it just kinda died overnight. How did they do that?

    I never understood how "click the button when the screen flashes" could be a popular game, much less a franchise.

    One of the many things I was wrong about. "Oh, those Magic the Gathering cards are gonna fade away like the Dutch Tulip craze. No way am I paying $300 for a Black Lotus!"

      GH really combined my 2 favorite things, not knowing how to play an instrument and not playing a real video game.

      That describes all rythym games pretty much. I know they're not for everyone but you should give them a shot sometime. I would recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer

      My uncle had a bunch of beta up to ravnica cards. He gave his cards to me because I think my auntie said they were spending too much on cardboard and I showed an interest in them. He had a black lotus, he had the academy one, he had ancestral recall. Pretty sure he just pulled them from boosters (he had A LOT of cards). I didnt know their value at all and sold them all for $40 a few years after so I could get some pokemon game or something, cant remember, lol. I couldve paid for college off that collection if I had waited.

      It's like tapping out the beat to a song while listening to it except with a cool controller/interface and a progression system. The most difficult songs in Bemani games are as difficult as playing a real instrument (or the same as playing a real instrument in the case of Drummania).
