For those of you who haven't heard of the game (most of you I guess), it's very simple. It's pretty much like Virtua Cop or House of Horror (or something named like that), in that it's a a First Person game where you don't control the camera. But normally in these games you have a gun which you use to (duh) shoot the bad guys, in TotD you need to type something quickly.

Might seems really boring and weird but it's actually a blast! Sega made it, it's been in arcade and on the dreamcast for a while and they released a demo.

Download the demo here


Now, if I had THAT game as a typer helper when I was young...

Doesn't beat Telnet of the dead. My POP3 server has such a real short timeout between USER and PASS, it's so hard to type the whole PASS fast enough!

Hm, interesting, while they're at it, why don't they make a click-as-fast-as-you-can-game, ugh, wait, they did, it's called diablo 2 .
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

But, but. Your character has a dreamcast on his back and he types word to blow up zombies! How can this NOT be making sense.

You simply got the zombie skin, that's all. An item you can get. You can also have Big-Heads.

I remember reading a review of that in one of the gaming magazines. They really thought it was a great game. I thought it was a little weird.

Just think of all the lame one-liners that this game could spawn:

"Feel hot qwerty, evil minion!"

Yeah, I should try to find an arcade that has this game. There seems to be a 2 player mode but I don't see how that can work on one computer...
