nyckiRead, Write, and Type is an exceptional game. I need to get it running and see if it still holds up today, but I have little doubt that it does.
It's an educational game that goes beyond the usual typing game fare of "memorize the keys, then type them quickly." It's also a *phonics* game. When you learn each key, you're also learning that letter, and the sounds that letter can make. The name is accurate: you're not just typing, you're also reading and writing *words.*
Also probably the first and last game I've played with magic hands as major characters. Lefty and Rightway are pair of giant talking hands, and they crack jokes in between demonstrating good typing posture to the player.
There's a fourth-wall breaking joke in the game's introduction about how "But Lefty, we can't type on a real keyboard, we're just animations!" "Oh! Okay, you'll just have to watch us and do what we do, okay?"
It's so corny and I love it
