Typo Attack is an educational video game for Atari 8-bit computers designed to improve typing skill.
[1] Buehler was seventeen years old when the game won the US$25,000 (equivalent to $78,900 in 2023) Atari Star Award for the best APX program of 1982.
After writing Typo Attack, Buehler had two action games published by the Atari Program Exchange in 1983: Wyzle!
[4] The game takes place on a single screen, divided up into multiple columns.
If an enemy reaches the bottom of the screen they will remove part of the shield around the letter, and if it is eaten away completely the player will lose a life.
