   You were right on all accounts except the very last thing you said.

   Time Warner totally screwed up the moves they printed in the manual.
Maybe it was a last minute change or something to make it easier to play on
the keyboard (imagine performing a sequence of moves while holding down three
keys... how many keyboards on the market can handle that?) but they should have
at least included an errata sheet!

   Also the CD can install the whole game to your hard drive but every time you
want to play you gotta load the CD-ROM driver and find the CD and stick the
sucker in yer CD-ROM drive... royal pain in the butt.

   But the gameplay itself was excellent.  So was the graphics and sound/music.
Hope Mortal Kombat 3 is as good a translation...
