Maybe I missed thi, but how do you know the version code IS the FINAL secret? Not that I'm sayin the secret will be anything fantastic, but doesn't it seem strange something so stupid should be the big final secret everyone seems to be hanging out for?

I doubt it's that. Seriously, it would be pretty stupid to hold out on the "last secret" and to give it out a long way after the games release and for it to turn out to be a version code. I believe it has something to do with that right hallway off the main menu coridoor. I sure it's worth the wait.

Has anyone actually accessed their version number?
I don't recall the method of access being disclosed.

Perhaps the Version code leads to something bigger?

Yeh that version thing is bull. It probably won't be anything big- maybe just a movie or sumthing thats of more value to MK hardcores.

Well, I don't think it has anything do with that right hallway because they said that they were gonna use it for a secret menu on fight night but that there wasn't enough time.

the team did say at fight night that the halway exists. it was going to be for mabey accessing a cheat menu, but they said also that it ended up noy being used.

they said therfore (or at least seemed to say), that there was no cheat menu.

they also said there are no more
'alities'in the game...
no 2nd fatalities,
brutalities,
animalities,
babalities,
or frendships.

they said there were no stage fatalities.

they said that arena barriers could not be shut off.

they were asked about the drum arena story, and about getting a draw game as the story sugjests.
the team replied that due to the way it was intentionally programmed a draw game in MKDA is impossible. you will not see it, EVER. this is true, try it at home kids.

they were asked about the voices in the krypt (which i myself have never actually heard), and 12:43 (or whatever it is) the team responded that they did not know what we were talking about. and that these things must most likley be inside jokes and such, done by people in the graphics and sound areas (after all, if they needed a creepy sound in the krypt, why not a garbled voice of somekind? if it were only there for effect, it wouldn't matter what was said. as long as it was mysterious sounding), and these things should not be taken so seriously.

they were asked about more secret characters, and as i recall the answer was no.

i really don't know what else is left.
if the final secret is a version code then whatever, i kind of understand why, if it is tho...

the version number is a throwback to the arcade machines.
in the arcade releases of MK, the version number of the machine told you if the glitches were fixed, or if all the fatalities were available.
arcade MKs were released incompleate, without all fatalities and lots of unknown glitches.
every few months upgrade chips were installed, updateing the version number, and slowly compleating the game.

to get the version number on an MK ARCADE machine,
you would shut off the machine by throwing the switch located on top of the cabinet, in the back left (player 1 side) corner.

turn it back on, and it will display a system check on the monitor.
at some point during the reboot it will display the version number.
(you may need to hold both start buttons, i can't quite remember... it did somting, it might be just to skip the system check and go right to the reboot)

this is the only reason i can think of that they would include this in MKDA, but why would there be differant numbers? it was said that the code reveals differant numbers on differant coppies of the game... why?
judging by the strat thread we are all playing the same version. and anyway, ive never seen the code posted(trust me i watch) and i never read anyone say they had seen or done it.

anyway, with all the things they said deffinitly were NOT in the game, unless it has some bearing on actual gameplay, i don't really care what the secret is.

If there is a last secret it prbably is the version code, programmers usually put something like that in, though normally more obvious in the coner so they know they're testing the right version! IN the making of any game there will be more than one version, though not sold, i should hope!
And if so it doesn't matter, it's probably V1.1 or something no huge joy there!

We are sure it ISN'T the Version Code, as the MK Dev Team already denied that as being the last secret.

Does that answer your question? smile

I feel the need to repeat this...yet again.

At no point, and in no way whatsoever did the programmers mention, or even remotely try to persuade anyone that there was still some huge looming Uber-Secret.
ALL that was mentioned even regarding further unfound secrets was that one programmer saying he knows for a fact of at least one thing nobody has found yet.
THATS IT.
He didnt say huge final secret, or amazing fantastical super code.
Everyone has perverted the mans comment so far due to peoples own wishfull thinking that now everyone thinks there a FINAL SECRET.
Ive seen several people say that version code couldnt bee the "final Secret", its not good enough.
Well he didnt say it was anything good, he just said something nobody had found yet.

And lets not forget that if you use a gameshark code to play as moloch, he has moves listed with names in the pause menu.
If there was ever any doubt in my mind as to what might not be found yet, Id say its probobly a Moloch code.

But AGAIN, noone promised anything, nobody said there was anything of value left to be found.
It could be a hidden credits screen hes talking about for gods sake.
Its amazing how fast urban legends take hold.
