Mavis Beacon Ate My Brain!

OMG I can’t believe this. There’s a batch file in he folder that extracts the sound files.

i cant get the ’ key to work when im playing

I’m starting to hear machine guns shot instead of a shotgun… It has definitely improved my typing skills.

Thank you so much for this. I cannot describe the awesomeness. :slight_smile:

You can get a free playable demo, with three levels (a drill, an arcade level and a story level) from a few places:

can’t get it to run on our server 2000 network for users (admin can) - something to do with D3Dx dummy. Anybody else met this…

Hello everybody,

I tried this game and found a question about network. Two computers playing this game can connect together. However, it seems do not work since the “typing Letter” in two computers are different…(In fact, it seems two computer play its own game…)

Could anybody help me to solve it? Thank you.

This is totally awesome, thank you for posting this.

Yeah. I just tried playing it over network and it was laggy/choppy. It kept crashing. Each time we tried it seemed to progress further into the game before the crash.

Has anybody been able to find a way to get this working on mac? I’ve found one copy of it for mac that just didn’t have enough seeds to actually get my hands on. Is it worth getting a virtual machine running purely for this?

You might be better off focusing on Typing of the Dead: Overkill which is similar and much, much newer.

It has a neat retro / grindhouse vibe, too.

I guess I can only shake my fist at the heavens and accept I came too late for some things. Thanks! I’ll check that out. I’ve always been fond of tricking my brain into learning in gamified context.
