Title: Typing of the Dead
Post by: Typey Toes on Mon, 09 April 2012, 23:43:28

Typing zombies to death, enjoyable.

Only problem is that the " ' " key is not being recognised (Topre RealForce 103 U-UW).

Any suggestions on how to enable this?

It is house of the dead but you kill people by typing. Also instead of having a gun on your back you have a dreamcast with a keyboard attached.

That is a demo. Saying "try fileplanet" implies warez.

Are you saying FilePlanet hosts warez? If they do, I see your point.

I stand corrected and appologize. They don't host warez, thinking of another website.

Ah.  cool.  I like typeracer, but wish they didn't require a subscription fee.

Wow!  73wpm lying horizontal in bed on the iPad!  LOL!

No idea why your " isn't working. I also use a trope on win7 x64, and it's fine here.

(I just had to post because the Typing of the Dead is awesome)

Quality writing. (http://www.zazzle.com/suffer_like_g_did_arcade_game_gamer_gaming_tshirt-235310520724940869)

On the subject of warez: it's getting difficult to find even used copies of this game, and I fail to see how copying it from somewhere hurts anyone. It's not as though Smilebit and Sega are seeing any revenue from those $100 used copies floating around eBay.

Just because it makes little sense doesn't mean the law doesn't exist :P.

Damn, my PC copy is sitting loose in a box somewhere 900 miles from me.  If I'd known they were going for $100+, I'd have sold it.

Not sure if they're actually going for $100, that's just what I see listed as a ByItNow. Still, the highest bids are in the $70+ range 0.0 GoG (http://www.gog.com/) needs to get on this!

On a side note: there is this odd tendency lately to just throw zombies into things (http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Classic-Ultraviolent/dp/1594743347) and then rake in the cash. The Typing Of The Dead is sort an anti-example, since it was a zombie game first :)

I love typing of the Dead. Awesome game. Although I got a hard time finding a Full version on PC or Dreamcast.

I would love to find a good ps/2 to Dreamcast adapter so I don't have to hunt down the equally rare Dreamcast Keyboard.
Also I could use a Mechanical keyboard on the Dreamcast.
