beatmania III, a failed attempt to remake the 5-key series using more modern hardware, with higher quality graphics and sound, more effectors, more speakers, effector pedals (which could also be used in special charts), save data on floppy disks, and more.

What'd you expect when it's now on its 28th version?! Kept the same basic gameplay, but added two additional keys to the control array (for a total of 7), a fancier cabinet (with more lights, more effectors, a widescreen monitor, turntables on opposite ends, an LED marquee, and a bass platform), and a difficulty curve that keeps on getting worse every year.

beatmania IIDX, first released in 1999 as a spin-off, but becoming the primary series in 2002.

First released in 1997, lasting with new versions until ' THE FINAL' in 2002, where the aging series (it used the exact same hardware, and presumably the same engine, for its entire lifespan) was finally discontinued in favor of.

beatmania (or '5-key' beatmania), the original series.

There have been three major incarnations of the game: While earlier versions primarily focused on hip-hop, house, and techno music, the latest installments have featured almost every single genre imaginable, especially hardcore electronica in various forms. But, when you look at harder songs though, it's also anything but. This fills up a Groove Gauge if the gauge finishes above a certain threshold, you pass, it's just that simple. Originally described as being a 'DJ simulator', the basic game is simple players are armed with a piano-styled keyboard and turntable, and must press keys or scratch the turntable when notes cascade down the screen corresponding to them. Of course when they realized how popular the arcade version was, Konami would milk the genre for all its worth with spin-offs (involving dance, drumming, smacking colored buttons, and slapping a grid of buttons), and an endless assortment of Mission Pack Sequels and reboots. Considered by many to be one of the forerunners of the modern music game.
