This is a game inspired by The Typing Of The Dead on the Dreamcast. That game itself is a parody of The House Of The Dead. In the latter, players use a light gun to shoot zombies and other undead. In the former, players have to type the names of the undead in order to shoot them. The Typing Of Emacs is the parody of the parody, since there are no undead (except possibly for the user staring at Emacs).

want yet another dot file to clutter your home directory.
