Love that the characters are wearing giant Dreamcast consoles with battery and keyboard.

Only played it on the PC & still see that version popping about at stores occasionally but it was excessively fun & highly recommended for anyone who wants to get better at typing. Agreed with Ryan & Vinny where has some of the best band names created in the game. Didn't notice til watching this QL again that they softened many of the weapons where the zombies (with green blood) were carrying large red cartoon mallets instead of an axe.

I remember when I first saw this game. I just came into the room and there was my friend, sitting there playing Typing of the Dead. I just sat and watched in slight disbelief taking in the absurdity of the game.

There's an arcade in my city that has this game, but the only problem is the words are in Japanese, but spelled phonetically with English characters. I really want to get my hands on an English version of this game.

What a wonderful game. I wish they had done Strength, and Tower. Their boss fights are great.

"The city's chaos is increasing."

Every game needs to have writing like this in it.

This should be on GOG. I'd drop $15 on it faster than you can say Dogs of the AMS.
