Does anyone know if it is at all possible to have all of your newsgroup
archives in which you have ever posted removed and erased from
existence?

Anyway, hello to all in newsgroup alt.games.mk!  I have noticed people
often making mention of MK2 and how they wished that the mortal kombat
games of today was much like the classic.
  What I can't figure out is why people never say anything negative
about MK2?
There are allot of things that I can't stand about MK2.

For example:
When you fight against the computer opponents, have you noticed that
allot of your moves get blocked or ducked? Everytime you shoot a fire
ball, or throw ice, or throw a spear, or a hat, or an electric bolt, or
whatever, the computer never let's you do what you want to do unless
they jump back,  or they are in the air or something.
Maybe it is just me, but MK2 is just to slow for me. No running, no
killer combos. Well, even if you could do a combo, the computer wouldn't
let you get it in because everytime you sweep, they roundhouse,
everytime you kick, they sweep. I guess it would be o.k. against another
player, but face it, the computer opponents suck!

On MK 3, I have heard allot of negative comments about the run button.
Well take moves like Sheeva's stomp. If I was fighting against Sheeva, I
can actual run out from under her just before she stomps on me and nail
her with a nasty combo. Now if that had been MK2, you just as well get
ready to get stomped, unless you have a character that can teleport out
of that one.
I still think that the run button could be a good thing at times though,
because not all characters can teleport.
I guess people just like the way the characters looked in MK 2. I must
admit that they are very original, and just that........very classical
to say the least.

I like MK Trilogy for the N64 better than MK 4.  Strange huh?

Well, thanks to all for allowing me to post this message.
