Even professionals make typos that go unnoticed.

One touch I absolutely adored was the game's take on the Magician fight. To really get across the idea of it being the quarter-sucker it was in the arcade, if you typo at any point in the first phase, Magician will straight up smack you. They say the final boss should be the final exam of all the skills you've learned thus far, and I can't think of a boss in video games that makes that more literal than TotD's Magician. And I will *never* tire of that boss theme! Hope the 2021 remake of House of the Dead gets a typing tutor version as well, just out of tradition at this point, and so the TotD Magician fight can take its place as the final boss fight it deserves to be.

Ah yes, the game where you type questionable words to kill zombies and listen to the cheeziest voice acting. God I love it so much.

I still play this from time to time. Hands down my favorite typing game.

One of my favourite games of all time, I've been waiting for this LGR review for years.

I lost my right index finger about 3 years ago and I used this game to reteach myself how to type.

I loooooooove this game. I seriously learned to touch type thanks to this game.

The convention I was at today had a Typing of the Dead arcade cab (likely fanoodled together with some creative engineering) and this is trippy to come home to.

I first played this on Dreamcast at an anime convention game room in 2006. It stole my entire day. I forgot about it until just last weekend when that same convention had it again!

This, Math Blaster, and Adventure Mathstorm. Please review that last one if you haven't. Or the 'X-Grade Adventures' series. Love your show! 😀

Today I learned I can type better than Clint. And that's the only thing I've got on him.

I wish I had a room like yours with all this 80s and 90s computer stuff. you have a great collection Clint.

This is my favorite LGR video. I've had this game since it was new and it's GREAT! As you can imagine, I'm a pretty solid touch typist - thanks to this game ;)

Actually good typing tool? Dialog as accessible wav files? Ooooohhhhhh, ebay, here I come!

Back in the day I used to speedrun it. Ah, the nostalgia.

So glad to see ya cover this :) I loved Typing of the Dead, and I owe my speed at typing now to having spent hours on a low-end laptop circa 2009 playing the hell out of it. That said, I do have one small issue with it, and that would be its complete lack of support for 10-key. I've never much liked using the number row above the keyboard, preferring to just hop my hand over to the 10-key pad and go to town, but Typing of the Dead doesn't even recognize it. That alone is responsible for the majority of my deaths in the game.

the ending is perfect. you rescued the guy you let die before just to make an example. you give your viewers exactly what they want! aaaah the satisfaction! thank You, LGR!

I love this game and I actually used this game to teach myself an alternate keyboard layout! (colemak) The only thing that sucks is that if you're trying to win, the game's difficulty scales with your typing speed, rewarding typing slowly early on and ramping up as necessary. Still, it was an excellent and engaging way to push myself into typing at higher speeds!

The Civilization games.

I remember my school getting a computer lab in 1995. I hated trying to learn the "proper" way to type. When typing of the dead came out I almost doubled my typing speed despite ignoring home row keys. I now know where every key is on the keyboard without looking down at the keys. This game is part of the reason I got so fast and accurate at typing.

The sequel to The Typing of the Dead, The Typing of the Dead: Overkill has a Shakespeare DLC where everything is lines taken out of Shakespeare plays. Which is epic. Later boss fights you have whole passages and paragraphs to type down.

Thanks to this game I placed 2nd at school typing competition. I played it so relentlessly and can say, it was one of the most challenging games I´ve ever played. Very nice review!

Duuuuuude I remember this! A long long long time ago I was invited out with a group of friends who wanted to go to Downtown Los Angeles for an authentic Japanese arcade and eat at a ramen noodle place. It still is in my memory to this day how all the Japanese arcade consoles were built in such a way that you had to sit at them to play, and one of the most bizarre titles that was amongst all the fighting games was a Typing Of The Dead, complete with two side by side keyboards bolted to the wrist rest of the cabinet. I took a video of it with my cell phone to remember it because I always thought the character models actually sporting game consoles and levitating keyboards in front of them was just hilariously awful, but this video probably doesn't exist anymore since it was a thirty second clip on an old flip phone. Now I can share this and prove that this thing actually did exist!

true story: my favourite ever purchase from a thrift store was an old late 90s/early 00s keyboard that I bought precisely because its loud and clicky when I type, which is something that I miss about modern keyboards. It's noticeably harder to type on than modern keyboards but I don't care. So, I'm with you on the clicky-clacky keyboards, Clint! (It was also absolutely disgustingly dirty when I bought it and it took me forever to clean it, which was really fun too).

Typing of the Dead is seriously one of the best games of all time, and Clint nails why that is perfectly here; I have both the US Dreamcast version & the Japanese PC version (which plays using romanji, which adds to the challenge). Unfortunately, he didn't seem to know of the "forgotten" TotD game, because he only mentioned TotD Overkill at the end. Though a Japan-exclusive, there is indeed a Typing of the Dead 2 released for Windows in 2008, which does to House of the Dead III what the original TotD did to HotD2; the characters even use keyboards made out of their shotguns! I do hope to one day get Typing 2, & I still have to grab Typing Overkill off of Steam at some point.

I would have actually learned how to properly type if i played this
