How many games / software out there allow nintendo powerpad type interaction?

Do you guys know of a lot any games besides dance dance revolution that use a powerpad type thingy? What do people call those anyway? Is there exercise software for it? Any of this run on a PC? Is any of it non-dancing?

DDR isn't really dancing. It's just stepping around really fast. The pads are usually just called dance pads. Since dance pads are just giant controllers, you can just use any parallel or USB adapter to use the pad with your computer. I have a parallel port adapter for PS2 controllers and it works great. I just needed to download some drivers for it, which are very easily found on Google. I don't know of any exercise software, but DDR usually has an exercise mode to help you track calories.

Opensource DDR for the PC
You could find a lot of information there
