Make ‘netas’ dance to your tunes

A. Saye Sekhar

7Seas Technologies Ltd has developed ‘Dancing Heroes’ which promises fun and lots of gifts to top gamers

Log on: The ‘Dancing Heroes’ game which is available on www.onlinerealgames.com

HYDERABAD: Choose one from a gallery of ‘internationally acclaimed’ leaders. Let your fingers fly on the keyboard, simultaneously using your index finger to clickety-clack on the mouse. And what’s in store? Lot of fun.

George W. Bush, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Musharraf or even our very own Chandrababu Naidu will dance to your tune.

The fun just does not stop there. Register free and depending on your score, win anything from a webcam to a laptop.

One can play simply as a guest too and the target score to bag the goodies is five lakh.

That’s the latest product of Hyderabad-based 7Seas Technologies Ltd, a game developer, which went online with ‘Dancing Heroes’ recently. Make the leaders climb on to a bullock-cart and bring them on to the dais. Start the game and they start shaking a leg or two.

The characters on the monitor clap for you, as the caricatures dance. By click of a mouse, you can whistle and secure 50 points. If the dance stops, one should not whistle. A gamer is given three chances to go out of sync between the dancing and whistling.

With a typical Indian village background, the dances and tunes are also traditional. Log on to www.onlinerealgames.com to play a runaway hit.

7Seas MD, L. Maruti Shanker, the company’s maiden PC game (sans an Internet connection) 3D SuDoKu World, in association with Trimedia, was rated the best by players’ choice on www.terrgame.com.

There are over 160 interactive games on the site.
