TYPE OR DIE. Secretly playing "Jinshan typing pass" in the information class is probably the experience that every post-90s has experienced.

For children who have just come into contact with computers, typing games such as "Police catch thieves", "Frog Crossing the River" and "Space War" make them feel the fun of interacting with computers for the first time.

Later, with the increasing popularity of computers, typing has changed from a skill that requires special training to a being as common as air. Typing games, once used as a tool of enlightenment, gradually disappeared from people's horizons.

Recently, however, Japanese game maker SantMove has done the opposite, developing a secret organization called "TYPING evil fight!" "the typing game.

Look at the name, although it is only a typing game, but it should have a more secondary plot. As a matter of fact, the game tells the story of a secret organization trying to conquer the world, but keeps making all kinds of funny things.

Although secondary two, this is a continuous line of Japanese typing games.

In 1996, Sega launched a horror-themed arcade game, the Dead Haunted House. In the game, players play the role of agents, through light gun shooting to destroy the zombies on the screen, complete the level. Because of the novel theme and interesting play, the game was once popular in game halls at home and abroad.

In 1999, Sega adapted the module for the sequel to Dead Haunted House 2, replacing all the characters' equipment and guns with an Dreamcast mainframe and a keyboard.

So the clever game of "Dead typist" was born.

It's so elegant.

In the game, typing is your weapon, and you need to type "chicken soup" one after another to wipe out the zombies.

It's so civilized. It's worth mentioning that, like Dead House, Dead typist was originally released on arcades. So when you enter the arcade in 1999, you are most likely to see two keyboard players crackling the zombies on the screen.

It's too classy. For this somewhat comic horror game, the outside world has always been polarized. Many players praised it for its interesting and innovative style. American game magazine Game Informer listed it as one of the "top 10 weird games", while "PC World" called it the "top ten worst games in life."

However, no matter how the outside world reacted, its market achievements were solid and were transplanted to the Sega Dreamcast host the next year. Later, he landed on the PC and PS2 platforms, trained a large number of loyal fans, and released the sequel "Dead typist: kill them all" in 2007.

More than 20 years later, it is hard for us to imagine what it would be like for hundreds of thousands of people to kill zombies with keyboards at the beginning of the century.
