TYPE OR DIE.
Secretly playing “Kingsoft Typing” in the information class is probably an experience that every post-90s generation has experienced.
For children who are new to computers, typing games such as “Police and Thief”, “Frogger”, and “Space Wars” allow them to experience the joy of interacting with computers for the first time.
Later, as computers became more and more popular, typing changed from a skill that required special training to an existence as common as air. And the typing game, once used as an enlightenment tool, has gradually disappeared from people’s vision.
However, recently, the Japanese game manufacturer SantMove has done the opposite and developed a game called “TYPING Evil Secret Organization Strike!” ” typing game.
You can tell from the name that although it is just a typing game, it should have a relatively middle-school plot. The fact is exactly the same, this game tells the story of a secret organization trying to conquer the world, but it keeps doing all kinds of funny things.
Although it is a secondary school, this is the gene of Japanese typing games.
In 1996, Sega released a horror-themed arcade game called Dead House. In the game, the player acts as an agent and shoots with a light gun to destroy the zombies on the screen to complete the level. Because of its novel theme and interesting gameplay, this game was once popular in game halls at home and abroad.
In 1999, Sega adapted the mod of the sequel “Death Haunted House 2”, replacing the equipment and guns of all characters in the game with a Dreamcast console and a keyboard.
So “Death Typist”, a game with a clear mind, was born.
so elegant
In the game, typing is your weapon, you need to type “chicken soup” sentence after sentence to destroy the zombies.
too civilized
It’s worth mentioning that, like Dead Mansion, Dead Typist was originally released on arcades. Therefore, when you entered an arcade in 1999, you were most likely to see a scene like this: two keyboard players were clapping their keyboards and “cooking chicken soup” on the zombies on the screen.
too classy
For this somewhat comedic horror game, the outside world’s evaluation has always been polarized. Many players praised it for its fun and innovative style. The American game magazine “Game Informer” included it in the ranks of “Top Ten Weird Games”, and “PC
World” called it one of the “Ten Worst Games of Life”.
But no matter how the outside world reacts, the market results it has achieved are real, and it was transplanted to the Sega Dreamcast mainframe the following year. Later, they landed on the PC and PS2 platforms one after another, and cultivated a large number of loyal fans.
In 2007, the sequel “Dead Typist: Kill All” was released.
More than two decades have passed, and it is difficult for us to imagine what it would be like to kill zombies with keyboards by hundreds of thousands of people at the beginning of the century.
