DanceDanceRevolution
I've played Konami's arcade game DanceDanceRevolution competitively since 2002. No other game compares with DDR's synesthetic fusion of body, mind, music and machine.
Since the beginning, I've been involved in community organization within the DDR scene, helping to bring people together around the game we love. I'm lucky to have affected the DDR scene in Kentucky and West Virginia (by starting the KYDDR community in 2002), Ohio (through OhioDDR and ODDR in the mid-2000s), and California (with SF EVOLVED starting in 2016).

It's worth noting that In The Groove isn't exactly DDR, and also isn't a Konami game. However, the gameplay is practically identical and the communities overlap almost completely.
