Kumdor no Ken

Released 1991 · By ASCII Corporation

In this touch-typing JRPG for PC-98, created by Michiaki Tsubaki with ASCII, you play as the Milky Way's #1 typist, summoned to planet Kumdor to fight mysterious monsters with typographic magic — but you lose all your keyboard keys and your QWERTY skills in a crash landing. Worse yet, the planet suffers from a petrified economy and natural disasters. Can you recover your skills, prove your identity, and save the world? The game has a surreal atmosphere, quirky dialogue, and a distinctive visual style. It also features a control scheme built entirely around touch typing, using no directional keys or joypad input. By improving your typing accuracy and agility, you must travel across a classic JRPG overworld, helping people and fighting off monsters to improve yourself.
