Barbie Generation Girl - Gotta Groove 💃 (1999, PC)
177This CD-ROM game was hard to run, so I'm not showing the entirety of the game. For some reason different combinations of hardware had glitches whenever there was a 3D scene. And the music would not play. In this video the 3D performance is also pretty low even though the game is not demanding. I'm releasing this video so there's at least a record of it somewhere.

"Welcome to Generation Girl Gotta Groove CD-ROM where dancing, cool music and friendship are where it's at! The Generation Girl friends love to do things together, especially dance. Ana knows salsa, Nichelle lives for swing dancing, while Tori loves athletic hip-hop moves. Chelsie does dreamy European dances, and Barbie loves dancing to pop music. Lara will assist you in creating cool sets for your final performance.
You'll love helping each Generation Girl share her own special moves with her friends. Getting ready for the big dance performance at the International High School in New York is the best, as you help the girls create and practice routines, choose cool costumes and design beautiful stage sets. Then you get to put on your special show in the Performance Dome. Together, well all be the stars of the show!
