Typing of Ys was a typing tutor minigame included in the PC version of Zwei!!, similar to Typing of the Dead, et al. Well, Nightwolve, who's since moved on from the RIGG group we mentioned some time ago, has taken it upon himself to extract the tutor from the original game, translate it with the help of two fellows by the names of Wrydwad and Deuce, and naturally make it available for download. Check out details and downloads here. It's quite fun, and based on the universe of Ys II Complete.

While you're at it, might as well check out this Lords of Thunder hack, which uses a Nightwolve tool to add a new powermetal soundtrack to the classic shooter. SignofZeta's responsible for that one.
