Typing of the The Dead -DOA
Turns out after careful scrutiny, the cd Typing of the Dead turned out to be a Dud. The cd offered only works on a sega playstation, and is not the pc platform version as was lead to believe. So out of the box game was useless, unless I invest in an obsolete play platform necessary to run it.My nephew was very disappointed, luckily I was able to download the demo version and after a few hours of it, the game left the Most Wanted list and became just another game on the rack. Luckily the CD wasn't expensive and the shipping just didnt make it worth returning. Sorry Amazon, but my search was for the Typing of the Dead PC version, we both dropped the ball on this one. Next time I'll read more closely the fine print before I click. P.S. despite the context (tongue-in-cheek hacking/slashing theme), the dialogue is what disturbed me. I found the typing word samples misogynistic, and sophomoric. You can almost visualize the desperate poor programmer creating this program in his basement. My sympathies, but I think a better selection of typing samples would be less offensive and potentially less negatively influential to the kids (seriously dont we have enough negative influences for the kids).
A Solid Videogame
It is a shame the Dreamcast had to die so early in it's life because it was a home to truly original games like this one that were a real treat to play. This game is just Sega's The House of the Dead 2, (also released for Dreamcast) but instead of using a lightgun peripheral you use a keyboard to type words and phrases that appear on screen as zombies and the undead try to attack you. It is actually a lot of fun, and it's only real flaw is that your wrists will be in graet pain after playing this game for a good period of time. Still, if you own a Dreamcast, these kinds of games are what made it one of the greatest systems, no matter how long it's life was.
the game that never should've been
What a boring game that is if you know how to type alredy the whole monsters will get you if you dont type fast enough theme is lame i personally much liked the game better when it was a shooting game.
