Break Dance (also known as Breakdance) is a 1984 rhythm game developed by Beck-Tech and published by Epyx in North America and Europe for the Commodore 64. The game relies on players making dancing moves that resemble the classic game Simon says.[3] The game capitalized on early 1980s-era b-boying, which was a popular trend in American culture.[5] The game was inspired by the films Flashdance and Beat Street.[6]
