The Typing of the dead!!!
« on: January 30, 2005, 07:28:24 pm »
 Here is another awesome Arcade game, though a little unorthodox, but those of you with the built in keyboard dawers will have the perfect set up.

you all know the House of the dead series, were you shoot the s%$t out of zombies and generally have  a good time doing so...no doubt many have had their parents/spouse saying things like "i wish you'd do something more usefull with your time".... wouldn't it be great if you could combine the learning of usefull skills with zombie blasting mayhem...usefull skills like say....touch typing.
well thankfully for you and me Sega heard our cries and has released the typing of the dead..thats right, you read that right...the typing of the dead.
 in this game you are again pitted against the hordes of undead from the first game, but this time whenever a zombie apears on screen a word is in front of him/her and as you type the word you blow chunks of his/her body.....so cool.....
every letter is a shot, every typo is a miss, and after he is dead you get a breif score letting you know how good you are.
as the levels progress they start to have sentences and phrases even the axes they throw have a letter so you can  shoot them.
couple this with the training mode and you'll be touch typing in no time. and accroding to the game able to leave work early and do kareoke....awesome

and with words and phrases like "boobe tube" and "my foxy wife" good times are assured. 4 out of 5

This isn't an arcade game, you can't play it on an arcade cabinet because it requires a keyboard and thus it's completly and totally worthless on a mame cab.  This isn't to knock the game at all, it's just this forum is for reviews of arcade games suited for a cabinet.


Final Verdict 0/5  (unplayable, so no score)

If you will notice;
but those of you with the built in keyboard drawers
which is a fair few people, and this was actually an arcade game.

5/5!
