With MKII's rapid success, you can bet it'll be on home systems pretty
soon.  Here are the facts:

MKII is a 64-bit machine.  Therefore Atari's Jaguar and Nintendo's Project\
Reality will be able to do pixel-perfect renditions.  But will Nintendo?
Hell no!  Baraka will probably knock sweat off of his opponent with his
blade fury.  Everyone please join me in extending a heart felt FUCK YOU
to Nintendo.  An exciting contender is Atari's mega machine the Jaguar.
Available now, it will be able to do a perfect MKII.  But will it?  I think
it might because Atari's Pit Fighter was kind of violent, and besides,
Atari will need the sales to repair their terrible reputation.  Now all
we need is for Acclaim to sign with Atari - unless Midway decides to program
their own home games (PLEEEEEEEEASE, Midway!!!!!!)  

The superb sound you hear in MKII is brought to you courtesy of DCS - 
digitally compressed sound.  Whether a non CD based system could duplicate
this sound is currently unknown.  I am really looking to Atari for this
one.  It's a shot in the dark, but the system does have the capability
to do it.  Nintendo could do it but won't.  Sega's Saturn is under wraps
and they keep changing the specs on it, but in its current form it doesn't
stand a chance on reproducing MKII to justice.  If anyone from Atari is 
within the sound of my voice, make a perfect (Yes, with all the blood and
fatalities) version of MKII!!!!!  Atari could theoretically have this out
before the other guys even have another system out.  If they accomplish this,
they will be the video game leader.  So start calling Atari and telling
them to do it, call Acclaim and tell them to do it, and call Midway and
tell them to tell Acclaim to fuck themselves and program MKII for home 
systems themselves.  If enough gamers speak, we'll be ripping off torsos in
our living rooms in no time!
