Bust a Move?

Not to be picky, but I noticed that the forum's description lists Bust a Move as a rhythm game. Isn't that the puzzle game with the bubbles and dinosaurs and stuff? Do they mean "Bust a Groove"?

The lowdown on Bust A Move:
In Japan, the creators of what we know as Bust A Move named the game according to its characters taken from Bubble Bobble and put them into a puzzle game; thus in Japan, the game is known as Puzzle Bobble. When domesticated for American sales, Taito changed the name to Bust A Move to Make it more marketable to the American audiance.
Now, for the dancing game we know as Bust A Groove, the game was created in Japan and released under the name Bust A Move. When the game was ported over to the U.S., the name had to be changed because, of course, there was already a game titled Bust A Move, so the name was changed to Bust A Groove.
Usually people who have been playing these games since they were released, like me, refer to the games as Puzzle Bobble and Bust A Move (sometimes refered to as BAM) respectively. When you go to buy Bust A Groove soundtracks, they are still entitled by the Japanese name Bust A Move.
There's the backstory as to why Bust a Groove is refered to as Bust A Move. If it's confusing people I can change it ^_^

I've played Bust a groove, it was my first into music gaming sims, but when I heard the U.S. might be releasing Bust a groove 2 I was psyched but the project to develope it for U.S. use was a bust and I was pretty bummed after that...
It wasn't until I came across Guitaroo man that I have suddenly found myself returning to the music sims that I found awesome. Which also includes Dance Dance Revolution and many others. Are there any other Music sim games out for ps one that anyone knows of?

[nestlekwik]

Well you do have Parappa and Um Jammer Lammy. There was recently a new music game release for PS1 that I saw in the latest OPM, but I haven't tried it out. There's also the MTV Music Generator (not really a game). And there are a few games who have little music-game type mini-games. Unless you can import games, the PS1 isn't too music game friendly.

Sounds kinda confusing I'll just stick to my basic games...thanks for the responce though i appreciated it

[shonenryuukami]

I dont know if its just me but did it seem as if un jammer lammy was at least 10x more diffucult than parappa?
