I can't believe I just noticed this (UMK3)

When Liu Kang does his "drop the original MK arcade on top of my opponent" fatality, there's no Johnny Cage in the side art. I guess this was relevant to the original Johnny Cage getting fired for allegedly portraying Johnny Cage in a Bloodstorm ad without Midways permission. Pretty nifty!

This is the original MK cabinet:

and this is the cabinet Liu Kang drops on his opponent in MK3:

Hehe, useless nerdy videogame trivia is cool

I love how in the ad, the side that Daniel is playing has no life bar.

I just acquired a Time Killers arcade board & would like to get Blood Storm also.

How is the sequel?

It certainly was the MK killer they wanted it to be, that's for sure.

Better than Time Killers. Way more fun.

I remember that Blood Storm ad. I played the hell outta Blood Storm when it came out. Much better than Time Killers that's for sure. The "smack talk" feature was pretty neat back in the day too. Like "You don't know shit about this game. Go buy EGM."
