Typing of the Dead
Friday, July 14, 2006
In lieu of having my favorite game, Typing of the Dead, Mervyn has introduced me to this online alternative.
For those of you who never played the game, Typing of the Dead is a spin off of the arcade shooting game, House of the Dead. In the original, you kill zombies by shooting at them. In Typing of the Dead, your character on screen has a “power pack” connected to your weapon of choice - your trusty keyboard! You type words that pop-up on screen, using said keyboard and every correct letter sends a bullet towards your unsuspecting zombie target, who is still wondering why you have a keyboard strapped to you. It was strangely exhilerating. You actually had a sense of urgency about typing. “Oh no! Zombies are gonna chew on me! TYPE! TYPE!!”
If that made no sense, pay no mind.
The point is, i miss typing games. And thus, this link is the satisfaction to my craving of such games.
My first time, I got 97.5 words per minute with 3 mistakes. My second time through, i got 108 wpm and 6 mistakes. And then i got carpal tunnel syndrome.
Leave a comment tell me what YOU got!
