10 Video Games That Reward You For Watching The Credits
6. The Typing Of The Dead - Earning New Game Plus Mode In The Strangest Way Ever
The Typing of the Dead combines lightgun-blasting horror and typing-testing fun in a way that’s entirely unique. Zombies are a very common trope in video games, but this is an experience unlike any other.
On completing The Typing of the Dead, it’s fair to say that you’ll have typed many, many zombies to death (another death). To redress the balance, then, the game’s credits sequence asks you to do something very different: save them.
Canny players will have realized, of course, that typing out the names of the staff members who worked on the title has a surprising effect: the eight blue containment chambers on the screen correspond to a series of names in the credits, and typing them all out successfully will release a zombie from containment.
Causing
finely choreographed zombie dancing by freeing all eight is no mean feat. Successfully
doing so unlocks extra features.
