The California Attorney General wants to ban Mortal Kombat from all California arcades, the rental of the MK cartridges that're available in stores like Blockbuster, and maybe even the sale of MK cartridges for all home use [the last part was the only part I'm not sure on, as the local tv news station didn't make it clear about this]. It's amazing how censorship seems to be getting worse. I think if parents know what games the kids play, and are able to convey to them that the game isn't real life and that it's very wrong to act the same violent way as in the game, that this should solve the problem of these censorship groups wanting to ban all really popular fighting games. It's much better kids play these type of games as an outlet, rather than doing much worse things. cn(:)
