reports that Codemasters Online has released the official game based on hit 1980s chick flick Dirty Dancing.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the classic date movie, fans can now step back to 1963 in the PC action puzzler, learn to dance with the resident dancing couple, Johnny and Penny, and work alongside the team at Kellerman’s Mountain House Resort.

"Dirty Dancing is a premium casual game in which fans of both the movie and high-quality casual games will be able to enjoy for hours," said Tim Hodges, associate product manager at Codemasters.

"We are proud to be a part of such an imperative franchise and we are delighted to bring a quality casual game to the many dedicated Dirty Dancing fans."

First released in 1987, Dirty Dancing generated more than $170 million in worldwide box office receipts and sold over ten million DVDs. A special 20th anniversary edition DVD and Blu-ray disc was released earlier this year, while a live stage show is currently running in London’s West End.
