Space Channel 5
Space Channel 5 is a video game for the Sega Dreamcast released in Japan on December 16, 1999, North America on June 6, 2000, and in Europe on the October 6, 2000. It was the first game to be developed by the newly opened United Game Artists studio within Sega, spearheaded by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, although the UGA name had not yet been adopted by the original Japanese release. The game stars Space Channel 5 reporter Ulala, tasked with upping the ratings of the channel, and stopping the "evil" Morolians, who are forcing the galaxy to dance. Space Channel 5 is a rhythm game built similarly in nature to electronic memorization games such Simon, and video games such as PaRappa the Rapper. Throughout the game the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance. Repeated failure will force the show to be cancelled, effectively triggering a game over.
