Since backstory and 'filling in the gaps' of history seems to be big with Midway, now, I had wondered: how would fans go for a prequel fighting game depicting the events of the tournament during the time of the Great Kung Lao? We'd get to see his rise and fall from power, Goro's introduction into the storyline...basically, everything that happened during the two tournaments that the GKL participated in that built up to the first game. I'm thinking, if the date that the first game came out is considered the date that the tournament in the game was held on, that the GKL fought in the tournament around the late 1400's; right around the Rennaissance, so it would be interesting to see what kind of fighters and technologies would be present at the tournament.
