Today’s game is a typing tutor game…
Game 36: Typing of the Dead.
This game is a modified port of the House of the Dead 2. Replace a light gun with a keyboard and Tada! The game was originally released in 1999 in japan arcades everywhere. A stand up machine with two full sized qwerty keyboards. Which just goes to show that the Japanese god bless their hearts will play anything in the arcade at least once. A market that needs to make a come back here in the states.
The game has been released for dream cast and ps2, as well as PC. This was an attempt to push the fact that both ps2 and dream cast were keyboard capable.
Now as the guys above show, when the they pop up they have words that if typed correctly they are taken care of. There are challenges in each level that must be conquered to move on and as always a boss. The boss varies typing phrases and answers to questions that effect your game experiences, we will get to that later. Also because of the difference of the games, Other changes are mostly superficial, including replacing the weapons wielded by zombies with harmless items and equipping the AMS agents with keyboards attached to backpack Dreamcasts with oversized batteries, and one of the bosses, The Tower, has three heads instead of five heads.
As far as the plot goes, identical to House of the Dead 2. Exception(because theres usually one or two) The endings you get a different ending based on the responses to the questions in the boss segments. I’m not going to put them here, dont want to ruin the ending for you.
And finally, this game does have sequels and spin offs! #2 in this series was a port of house of the dead three. they released one that helps people find jobs, and one that teaches kids english. so there you have it!
Chachi Says: if you put zombies in an educational game, teh kids, they will want to play. I know i did. This game a 4, reasons? Zombies. Also the fact that they tried something different. They incorporated different things to teach people while they gamed.
