Check out the symbols on the side of the game, made to imitate the "Sketch" symbols of MK3's VS mode. At least looks like it... Any game that tries to boast like that has gotta suck. Think about this: Ant MK game says: "Bloodiest, Deadliest" whatever right, they never said "Coolest Game EVER!" That'd be retarded.

It should say "Quite possibly the shittiest game ever made!" on the side.

Heh, that name reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart wants that Bonestorm game (which was a MK like game).

Didn't Strata make Time Killers? Or is this just another name for the same game, the screen on the game doesn't look like Timer Killers, that's why I ask.

Strata made that POS game Time Killers...then they made BloodStorm, which isn't a "terrible" game...but it's pretty shallow, and cheap.

Actually, TheCurse, in that episode when he's at the store, the mean kid tells his mom, "No, mom, you idiot! I have Bloodstorm, and Bonesquad, and Bloodstorm 2!" So he DOES mention Bloodstorm.

You're both right. But TheCurse is referring to the 1st epsiode u see that kid. The mom says something to the employee like this, "Ok, we'll take a Bonestorm."
Then the kid says, "Get two, I'm not sharing with Kaitlin." lol

I love the commercial, when Santa burts through the wall, looking like an action movie hero with guns and firepower and his reindeer are viscious etc. Then Santa says "So tell your folks: By me Bonestorm or go to hell!"

Bonestorm has a Liu Kang lookalike fighting a tank, and then two Goro lookalikes fighting each other.

-The kid also says, as u said Sub_Zero_13, that he has Bloodstorm and Bloodstorm 2 in a later episode.

(Sorry for going off topic, but I love that episodegrin)

Not to mention that the "Bonestorm" logo is virtually in the identical font as "Bloodstorm". Also, notice in the photo of Daniel "Cage" Pesina the outfit he's wearing... he doesn't have the blue wristbands, shin pads, or belt. While the pants and shoes are Otomix, they look different. This is basically Pesina's homemade Cage outfit. While we know this is the reason why he got fired, it is uncertain as to why he decided to do this ad in the first place. At least his brother Carlos "Raiden" Pesina has stuck with Midway from the begining! Since I got my new scanner, I'll try to scan a couple of pages from the old "Video Games" issue that featured behind the scenes footage of MKII. Some of the pics have been at MK Warehouse, but most are pretty rare. Since the magazine pretty much fell apart, I've only been able to find a few pages, which include pics and bios for Richard Divizio, Carlos Pesina, Kaitlin Zamiar, and Philip Ahn (M.D., that is). I know I've got the rest somewhere!

krsx66, dude. I hate to be stubborn, but I am POSITIVE that that IS the same episode. "-Don't you already have this game? -No, mom, you idiot, I have Bloodstorm, and Bonesquad, and Bloodstrom 2 -Okay, We'll take a Bonestorm -Well get two..." You get the picture, but who gives a damn really?

I found ONE coin-op of Bloodstorm at a local Adventure World (now a Six Flags), and tried it out. Didn't know what the hell I was doing, but it was a pretty decent fighting game. But now, there's MAME, and I can play it whenever... pick up an FAQ at GameFAQs, and give it a shot. It's certainly no MK, but it's a fun way to pass the time.

That picture made me laugh for about 10 minutes straight. What in the FUCK was that guy thinking when he endorsed (sp?) that game.

Was Pesina a motion capture character in Blood storm?

Nope, that game used regular drawn sprites, no motion capture/digitizing actors... still, nobody has any idea why he did that ad.
