10 Key Racing

10-Key Racing is a typing-tutor racing game released in 2000 by Nate Chrysler under the Chrysler Graphics label. The premise is straightforward: "This game exercises your ten-key typing skills. In order to finish each race, you must complete a 35-character line of random numbers and decimals."

Gameplay

Players race against five computer-controlled cars whose speeds adjust dynamically based on the player's performance, keeping each event competitive regardless of skill level. The faster and more accurately you key in the line of digits and decimals, the faster your car moves.

Skill Building

The novelty is using a racing-game framing to drill ten-key (numeric keypad) speed and accuracy, a practical office skill rarely turned into entertainment.

Versions

Version 1.1 was the initial release; version 1.2 (March 2020) added enhancements and bug fixes. The game runs on System 7.0 to 7.6 and Mac OS 9, with both 68k and PowerPC builds.
