Mess With The Best ........................................ Die Like The Rest
Presents:
Mortal Kombat II Pre-BETA RELEASE
---------------------------------
Supplied by: Wildcard
Well here it is and we are the very first group to release this new
game. This is a PRE-BETA version of MKII by Acclaim Inc.
This version was stolen (yes stolen!) from the development lab by a
guy who worked there and was fired that same day. So he figured what
the hell...If I'm getting outta here, why not grab that copy of MKII!
The guy who stole it (who will remain anonymous) is a close contact
of Wildcard and gave him a copy. So now we give YOU ALL a copy!!!!
We have had some difficulties running this game on some systems but
it has worked on others. If you have only 4megs RAM you will probably
have some errors while playing the game during the loader. You might
get memory allocation errors. Also, do not run any cache drivers.
On my 486DX 33 with 8 megs it seemed to work ok about 80% of the time
and locked up about 20% but it is playable. The game currently supports
only the SoundBlaster,Pro, and Adlib soundcards in this version.
On a 386DX 40 with 4 megs we could not get the damn thing to run no
matter what we tried. Also, you will need at lest a 1meg SVGA card to
play..If you have less it will say, "Video driver error"
What we have seen is extremely impressive. The graphics are excellent
with scrolling and very smooth arcade like quality..The backgrounds
are taken 100% pixel for pixel from the arcade machine. The animation
is fast and flicker-free on my 486 33mhz. The only characters you can
choose in this version are SubZero, Scorpion, Reptile, Johnny Cage,
Mileena, and Kitana. If you choose the others you will get a file
cannot be located error message, because the other character files are
still in development.
All the moves from the arcade are here..IF you know them..they can be
done...The fatalities that we triend all worked exactly with the
same keys as the arcade version. The Friendships also worked but the
babalities do not work except with Cage. For some reason the other
characters have no response to a babality combo. The pit is here..
and check out the mode 7 used on that pit scene..Impressive.
Actually besides all the loading errors and hardware requirements,
this game is definitely worth hanging on to until the real version
is released, or until a newer beta comes out..
NOTE: While you are playing, once you have beaten all the characters
and are about to fight a character that does not have a file
available, it will drop you to DOS and say file not found.
EX: If you beat Scorpion and the next opponent is Lui Kang,
it will quit the game with a file not found error.

* - These options will probably be taken out of the official release

Enjoy the game, and if you have any problems or comments let
