HyperTyper is a doorgame I saw on a MS-DOS BBS two days ago (I was asked
several times to visit the new BBS of a friend of mine, and after ten times,
I finally called). It is very simple, but highly addictive. The object of the
game is to become the fastest typist on the BBS, that's all :-).

In my opinion, this version is now far superior to the MS-Dos version. Every
feature supported in the MS-Dos version is included in this one (Except that
in this version, users CANNOT add words to the words.txt file!).

- The ansi graphics of the DLG version looks better,
- The input routines are better (MS-Dos version discards some of the input if
  the user types too fast!!),
- The DLG version supports DLG's inform command. Users will be told if someone
  has beaten them!
- Bonus points are awarded for fast typers in the DLG version,
- The DLG version supports TRUE multiuser games! The MS-Dos version only has
  a 'Play vs Sysop' mode, in which the user must use the lower characters, and
  the Sysop uses the upper characters (The Sysop must press caps-lock :-)).
- The DLG version features true highscores! Only a user's highest score is kept
  in the list!
- Incoming broadcasts are captured and shown in the multi-user page system
  (featuring a very nice who's online window), and in the menu screen.
- Chat mode included after playing a game in battle mode, so you can tell your
  opponent about the fact that you have a tenniselbow, and that he has gotten
  all the easy words :-)).
- The DLG version has a statistics list, with 10 methods to sort it :-)

Features the MS-Dos version has, and the DLG version doesn't:

- The DLG version doesn't have a 'suggest word' feature (I hate those!).
- The MS-Dos version places random dots on the places left open when the laser
  moves to the right. It looks nice, but also it looks quite stupid to have
  a 'space background' on the left, and just a black screen on the right.


It is one of the most addictive doorgames I know for DLG Pro, so I suggest you
give it a try on your board! (And pay the shareware :-))
