     Ok, so they screwed up the moves.  C'est la vie... at least 
everything else was very well done.  I imagine registered owners will 
probably be able to call their Tech Support line and get an errata sheet, 
or maybe even download it from a web site somewhere...

     PC Gamer has already reviewed MK3.  It got an Editor's Choice 
award.  On the down side, it IS a sequel... there isn't very much that 
could be termed totally "original".  On the up side, you will be able to 
play MK3 over the modem!  I think it supports net play too, but I'm not 
sure.  I'll almost certainly buy it when it comes out.
