Looking at these screens, it appears that correctly matching the words which appear initiates a familiar yellow can of spray paint as a drawing/writing cursor and you can clearly see Inspector Onishima's grinning mug at the bottom of the screen, hot on the tail of Beat.

On the plus side, these images (along with the title image above - also used at the top of this article) put to rest the notion that there is only one image available online of Typing Jet, so there's that at least. There are a few really tiny images too, along with an AVI video file which sadly no longer loads.

Dodge obstacles with quick typing to escape from Inspector Onishima and decide on vivid tricks! Collect graffiti souls that appear in the game and get new words and other benefits!įurther, there is also a nice 'breadcrumb' description of how you would access Typng Jet from the J-Phone J-Sky portal: According to this article, linked to in the original r/lostmedia post, the price of Typing Jet was set at ¥200 per month (which is about £1.32/$1.84/€1.51 at the time of writing).īoth the Sega Typing Jet landing page and the dedicated Smilebit page give a pretty similar description of the game:
It is through this portal that the games referenced above could be played, for a monthly fee of several hundred Yen a piece. J-Phone enabled devices could access this service via a menu, and then through a portal exclusive games, email and other online options were all accessible. In an nutshell, J-Phone was a mobile phone technology launched in Japan in the late 1990s which allowed compatible devices to connect to an online service similar to iMode - a sort of precursor to high speed mobile internet such as 3G. Indeed, J-Phone is an interesting topic in and of itself and could probably spawn an entire article were I so inclined to research and write such a thing, but I'll keep it fairly brief in this instance, just to give a bit of context (and because I'm in no way an expert on the topic!). At this point, it's probably worth discussing J-Phone.
