The Typing of the Dead

December 1998 - "The Curien Mansion Incident" There was nothing else that could have been done to prevent that loathsome disaster.

February 2000 - The world is in chaos. The new tragedy unfolds in a town where the last vestiges of the Middle Ages still linger. Are your fingers ready?

Take 'House of the Dead 2', one of the best light-gun games of all time, substitute the light-gun for a keyboard and start typing!

In THE TYPING OF THE DEAD you run through House of the Dead 2, but instead of firing a light-gun you type a word that is displayed onscreen in front of the creature attacking you. The faster and more accurately you type the words, the faster you'll kill the zombies and the higher you're score will be.

All the familiar options from House of the Dead 2 are retained, including the arcade, boss and tutorial modes.

With humorous words and phrases, a question and answer round and characters walking around with keyboards strapped to their chests, you can be sure that THE TYPING OF THE DEAD is one of the most entertaining games you could ever play!
