I just got this game today-- I was looking for it for a while, and anyway I LOVE THIS GAME!

Oh my am I gonna have so much fun improving my typing skills!

When I first heard about this game-- I thought it was a dumb idea, a very dumb idea-- now I know better. Did Sega ever release this on the PC? They should. This is a great tool to learn how to type.

ANyway, a few questions. Anyone here play this game? How does 2 player mode work? I really want to find a second keyboard!






Bored? "160"

Yeah, it's really fun, especially the wacky sentences you have to type out:
"Mother's Love", "I Spartacus"
Who says games rot the mind?
My dream is that students in typing courses have to pass this game on its hardest difficulty before they can pass the class.

Yes, there is a PC version, but I'm not sure if it was released by Sega. It probably is though.

As for 2 player mode, I really have no idea.
I've never seen a computer with 2 keyboards before.
Maybe each player takes one side of the keyboard?

Yes, it was released for the PC. It can be probably found dirt cheap as well. Two player mode is similar to one player, only twice as many boxes to type. The boxes are color coded so you know which player should be typing what. At least that's how I remember it. Been a long time.

Best lines I remember were something like:

"stop playing video games and do your homework!"

There's a 2player mode...whoa! Damnit I always wanted to get that game, I'll have to hunt it down now. I'm still playing pinball of the dead (kick ass!)

The PC version is available for $10, and I loved it because my DC keyboard is really unresponsive compared to my PC's. That, and I installed it in school, so when I brought the CD I could play it during C++ class, heheh.

Believe it or not, there's an arcade version of it. We have one over at Gameland here in Vegas.

What confuses me is its in Japanese, meaning pretty much no one is able to play it. :p
