Virtual Dog-Walking Arcade Game
This is me playing the dog walking game. This is arguably the most challenging arcade game I have ever played. Much more so than Beatmania or DDR (j/k, I so don't play DDR) or Street Fighter II. Basically you have to walk on a treadmill while holding this white dog's leash. Walk too fast, and he'll get tired. Walk too slow, and he'll get bored. And when obstacles like the neighborhood bully dog or a oncoming car shows up on the screen, you better steer clear! If you mess up, your dog dies.
I think my dog died in the first few minutes of me playing. In real life, however, I have a healthy 4 year old dog that I have no problem walking. So while this was fun (well, stressful) to play, I wouldn't say it's very realistic.
oh!! I've tried that when I went to yokohama on an exchange like 4 years ago!
haha that game was quite confusing...
mine died too!

Wow, that's so bad it's good. I don't think that would even make it onto English soil.
When is there going to be a stroking game for cat-lovers?

I've played that game too! I was so disappointed when I went back to the game center a year later to find that it was gone. I actually got physically tired playing it!

As a cat lover, I'd love to see a cat game where me and my cat could go on awesome adventures. Imagine holding a Gundam Beam Rifle lightgun in one hand, while walking a cat on the other. Does it make sense to walk a cat? NO! But who cares?
Basically you'd shoot Zakus with the Beam Rifle, while your cat can bite out the robo jugulars of enemies too. That'd rock!!!

These types of games should be in America so all the overweight kids can get some exercise while playing video games.
