I don't think I need to say anything about this, since most of you will know exactly what it is.

But for the uneducated, its a spin-off on House of the Dead. An arcade game where you shoot zombies with light guns, but instead in this version you use your keyboard to type words instead.
Many of you will have played or know about the original one on the dreamcast (and later ported to PC).

Very happy SEGA hasn't forgotten about this series.

EDIT: Even cheaper on GMG with code: GMG20-50Z66-SCTEU: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/nl/en/pc/games/action/typing-of-the-dead-overkill/

Sweet, it's about time they put out something that isn't a ball ache to get running on modern Windows that wasn't Japan only.

Not into typing games, but I might have to pick this one up. Thanks!

GAH! my computer cant run it! I guess thats to be expected when your keyboard cost 10 times what your graphics card did.

As a Canadian, this makes me happy

Aaaand picked this up from GMG for $8.00
From what I understand, it also includes House of the Dead: Overkill... we'll see!

keymaster · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 07:06:12 »

I just noticed they're working on a multiplayer mode! It would be cool to play with some of you once that comes out.

Anyone know if this will play on Linux?

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #16 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 09:40:47 »

Can someone who has this on steam tell me, can it be played in a window instead of full screen?

Hellmark · « **Reply #17 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 10:45:48 »

Anyone know if it is redeemable on steam if you buy elsewhere?

As far as Linux, it doesn't have a native port, but should play fairly well on Wine.

Green Man Gaming provides a steam activation code. Not sure about other online stores, but they usually list how to get the game. IE, if it's a steam activation, it'll usually say something like "Steam DRM"

Yes, this works. texture resolution is always 720p. Even if you set it higher, its just an upscale.

Are you sure? the game should run VERY WELL on anything equivalent to or greater than an " Nvidia 7800gt "

recommended says:

ATI Radeon HD 6450, NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 or Intel Integrated Graphics HD 3000

I know GMG provides steam codes if the game has them, but a lot of games don't, even if they're also sold on Steam. I just wanted to see if I bought this on GMG using the discount, if I could get it activated on Steam.

Games that are not "also " sold on steam.. would not have steam codes.

Hellmark · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 20:12:21 »

There are quite a few games that the CD key or serial will activate it on steam as well. I've got a few different games that I've bought from one site, and activated on steam.

So "color" is "colour" and "gray" is "grey"? Hmm, that would screw with my mind...

$8 if you use the GMG code

metalliqaz · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 22:43:22 »

Couldn't resist this classic typing game. Got the $8 GMG deal, activated on Steam.

I don't know what is 7GB about it, but man is it fun

Also, you get regular House of the Dead: Overkill along with it (almost seems obvious, since the typing version is just the original with typing-triggered-aimbot)
Sweet deal!

metalliqaz · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 31 October 2013, 00:46:43 »

Just played the first level. Very fun. Also very dirty. I did not expect every other word to be "mother****er". Wow.

Hellmark · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 19 November 2013, 06:25:39 »

Steam doesn't really do coupon codes, due to the frequency of their sales. Best to just wait a couple weeks. Steam usually has a huge blow out sale around Thanksgiving in the US. Stuff gets marked down as much as 80%

If you want to try it out before buying, PM me. I can let you use my steam account since I hardly play.

That reminds me I have to finish this game. I think I will break out a Realforce to blast some mutants
