Anyone know if this is true...
Ys Typing Tutor is a mini-game from the Japanese-only PC game, "Zwei!!", released by Nihon Falcom Corporation in 2002. In "Zwei!!" this mini-game is called "Typing of Ys" and wasn't released seperately.
In 2006, a hacker named NightWolve ripped the mini-game from "Zwei!!" and released it for free as stand-alone download, renaming it to "Ys Typing Tutor". It was soon later translated to English by guys named Wyrdwad and Deuce.

Seems to be true, at least for the "hacking" part: http://www.ysutopia.net/projects/ystt/
IIRC, I got the game from some freeware aggregation website. I guess I did not bother to check things in details on the game origins :-\

You just need to find Zwei!!, refurbish the entry to refer to the rest of the game, and include the leak / hack info in its trivia.

Funny that something significant enough to hack out and make a separate release out of isn't even mentioned in the main entry. Still, there's room to merge these 8)
