Typo Attack

Typo Attack is an educational game for the Atari 8-bit family designed to improve the user's typing skill. It was written by David Buehler and published by the Atari Program Exchange in 1982. Buehler was seventeen years old when the game won the US$25,000 (equivalent to $75,800 in 2022) Atari Star Award for the best APX program of 1982. In 1984, Atari, Inc. moved Typo Attack into its official line as a cartridge.
