As several readers have pointed out, the September issue of
PSM Magazine has an 8-page tear-out "Mortal Kombat Supplement". It makes for a very interesting read - it not only goes over all the
Mortal Kombat games, but mentions the movies, tv shows, CD's, and comics as well. Their
MK: Deadly Alliance section finally sheds some light on "Test Your Sight" - it is described as involving "keeping your eye on a shuffling object". Also, according to PSM, players will be allowed to place bets on which fighter will win and earn "kurrency". The kurrency or token system will allow to you unlock hidden characters, backgrounds, and extra features. One last thing the article tells us is the fact that there will be special moves specific to a certain fighting style. Hopefully, certain trademark moves will be universal to all the different fighting styles. Time will tell on this one.
Besides the supplement, there's a comic strip in the magazine which pokes fun at the many ninjas in MK Trilogy. They also mention that Deadly Alliance is due "this month" (meaning September) which we all know by now not to be true - the last we heard, Midway expected it to be on the shelves November 18.
Back to the mag - we recommend all serious Mortal Kombat fans pick this up! Not just for the MK: DA info, but for the rest of the supplement as well.
