Runtime: 59 Minutes
Today, we used Sega's Typing of the Dead as inspiration to give you a history lesson on the typing game genre as a whole. As part of today's story, we'll teach you the history of typewriters and the QWERTY keyboard as they gave way to the electronic keyboards that we all use daily. We'll also learn about a number of early education touch typing games, including TypeQuick, Typing Tutor and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. We'll continue with a conversation about modern typing games, including the Typing of the Dead series, the Epistory Chronicles, and the Textorcist. Get ready to learn proper finger placement as we take today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
