The Typing of the Dead is an arcade game released in 2000 based on The House of the Dead 2. While the latter is a fairly standard light gun shooter, Typing replaces the gun with the keyboard.

The levels of the two games are close to identical, but instead of simply gunning down hordes of onrushing zombies the player has to type the word or short phrase in front of each enemy to kill it. A typing tutorial for beginners and several mini-game drills designed to improve typing skills are also included.
