BEHIND THE MUSIC: Parrot back moves according to displayed prompts to make cosmic reporter Ulala blast aliens, rescue human captives and otherwise jiggle her way through an intergalactic dance party.

WHY IT ROCKS: An early critical favorite for the Dreamcast, it highlighted music games' continued cultural resonance, demonstrating that they even enjoyed enough inherent mass appeal to kick-start interest in a new console. Additionally, features a random cameo by Michael Jackson ("Space Michael").
