Is it just me, or are the guys at Midway REALLY LOUSY SPELLERS? I know it's an old issue, given the time that MK has been out, but really now... Sub-Zero's finishing screen: "...a large SOME of money..." for Shang Tsung's assassination. Liu Kang's finishing screen: Returning the tournament to its "... RIGHTFULL hosts..." In the Sega versions of the game: Raiden becomes RAYDEN. Here's the ultimate kicker, though: ALL of these spelling errors were carried over into the cartridge!!! I think there are a couple of others, but I can't remember them off-hand. My point is the quality control here; I find it a little hard to believe that Midway didn't have somebody do a spelling check before they finished the game. I know this is a minor point, but they're like a smudge on your newly washed and waxed car; they're really annoying... AJ
