Version 3.0 - Released: January 20th, 1998 (Latest Version)

Third and supposedly final OFFICIAL release of MK4.
Had been testing for about a month in Chicago before going national.
A 2nd Fatality for every character.
Stage Fatality added to Goro's Lair where you uppercut them into spikes on the ceiling. Requires a different movement than the Prison Stage Fatality.
Spiked balls added to the floors of the Purple Stage for throwing.
Most bugs have been fixed, however camera flaws still exist,
especially in the Purple Stage.
More Kombat Kodes added.
New weapon for Johnny Cage.
Fatality "Demo" added at the beginning of the game. It shows fatalitys being performed, and just before any killing is done, it fades to black and the "Fatality" sign appears.
More breakers have been added and switched around.
Close Captions have been added to the endings for noisy arcades.
The Combo System has been modified, and Air Combos and linkers are now possible.
There was a glitch in Version 2.92 (A beta of Version 3.0) where
if you chose the 2-on-2 Kombat, then each player chose either
Sub-Zero or Scorpion as 1 of their 2 characters, when the match began, one of each player's characters would be a bloody corpse! The skeletons would fight each other and everything. With the recent remark "Meat Lives" made on Ed Boon's MK4 Page, the rumors have been flowing on if this corpse is secretly playable in MK4. Meat IS in fact playable in this version.
