	If coin-up arcades can be as brutal as they want, I don't see why
home entertainment games has all these constrants and limitations.  After
all, it's up to the individual to decide whether they want something or not,
it's not like Mortal Kombat is being shoved down every SNES/Sega owners'
throats, so the notion that the gory parts should be censored to protect
the interests of minors is a load of crap.

	Personally, I WILL shell out the bucks to buy a complete SNES/Sega
system IF Mortal Kombat is being faithfully ported, but with all the 
controversy it's not likely to happen.  No way am I gonna buy a watered-down
version when I can play the real thing down at the local arcade.
