The Typing of the Dead

Anyone else played this?

They took a generic arcade zombie-shooter with a godawful plot and the worst voice acting ever and made it into a touch-typing practice game. Instead of shooting the zombies a banner with text appears in front of them which you have to type in time. Every character you get right is a bullet:

It's way more fun than it should be.

I really, really cannot believe that somebody brought this up (from it's grave)! =)

I remember the reviews for this game back from '99 and they were about 35% in local comp magazines... But, good to see it again, reminds me of that Thief 2, System shock 2 gaming era I so much enyoyed...

The only mistake with this was that it was a commercial release. Something like this for freeware would be great. A fun way for kids to learn how to type quickly and efficiently.
