| DIE-HARD FANS DIE HARD |

During its existence, Mortal Kombat as a franchise
has been produced #1 in every medium in the world. Midway has
dropped many Mortal Kombat best sellers, while the movies have
both opened up #1. Slap on the #1 selling techno album of all
time and a few more #1's in home video and TV, and you've got
yourself one of the biggest entertainment franchises ever (right
behind Star Wars and Batman in the top 5). What ingredient do
you need to build all this success? The best, most aggressive,
passionate and creative fans in the world. |

| Mortal Kombat has the best fan following around,
with the numbers to prove it. During long droughts and misleading
gossip, MK fans have stuck by their product. Since the early
1990's, we've kept an extremely loyal fan base that now years
later anticipates the 5th game to a gaming masterpiece. Who
do you think won the "Streetfighter - Mortal Kombat rivalry"?
It's because of MK fans' necessity for a Mortal Kombat fix,
which they scour the Internet, message boards and chat rooms
for until the information desired is obtained. And, when some
information can't be found, we don't just sit there and wait,
we predict and create our own information. |

 |
| Due to the aggressive nature of the video
games and the theme of empowerment for the live-action
productions, fans have also learned not to take any crap.
They will defend MK without question, quickly weeding
out non-believers from their communities. And in these
communities, MK fans humbly correct all inaccurate information. |

|
|
 |
Organizing petitions, finding
hidden game kodes, building countless fan sites, even writing
movie scripts. In the realm of Mortal Kombat there are no boundaries,
and this is a fact that has spread to the MK fans themselves.
Of course one thing MK fans, and die hard fans in general will
never learn: to be patient. |
|
| So if you haven't already, take
some time out and pat yourselves on the back, you are the reason
why Mortal Kombat is such a big success, and why it has survived
the test of time. And it's because of these fans "Mortal
Kombat 5" and the third feature film will be huge successes. |
