    This is by far one of the weirdest yet coolest games on the Sega dreamcast. this game mostly takes on the roll to teach how to type but it's one of the best games on the dreamcast when i heard of this game i was really confused about it but when I played it all was good.

    Ends up being a quirky gem in the Dreamcast catalog thanks to rock-solid gameplay, great graphics, and a loopy sense of humor. Best of all, players are guaranteed to see improvement in their typing if they log some time into the game.

    One of the coolest Dreamcast games to date. Excellent challenges, nice visuals, and a surplus of bonus modes are contained within Typing but most of all, Smilebit has given Dreamcast maniacs something truly unique in making typing fun.

    Extremely fun. And like Bill Cosby used to say, "You just might learn something by the time we're done."
