Jack Thompson in new Mortal Kombat

by James Ransom-Wiley { Oct 25th 2006 at 6:00PM }

In the early 90s the Mortal Kombat series set the bar for hidden characters. So when we caught wind of a Jack Thompson sighting in Armageddon we figured Midway was at it again. Alas, it was too good to be true, and the Thompson appearance was simply the result of some clever work in Armageddon's Kreate-A-Fighter mode.

The good news is that you can easily recreate the Thompson clone with Gaming Target's detailed guide. But the fun doesn't stop there, there's instructions for molding an eclectic band of misfits that includes Evil Dead's Ash, Friday the 13th's Jason, Hulk Hogan, and Silent Bob. That squad's a good foundation for a solid fighter in and of itself. Toasty!

Thompson is going to start saying how Midway is training kids to assassinate him and rip his spine from his cold, lifeless body.

I don't think the fuck udnerstands what user-created content means.

Playing as Thompson, I'd lose purposely.

Countdown to (another) lawsuit for user created content.

His fatality is turning the game off and slapping you with a lawsuit.

FSK405K @ Oct 25th 2006 7:10PM

Na, his fatality is to remove all the blood from the screen and have everyone play hop-skotch.

Wow, this almost makes me want to buy an XBox.

Excuse me? NBA Jam anybody?

I got all excited for no reason... :(

Legalese, HAHAHAHA

Boffo97 @ Oct 25th 2006 10:55PM

If he wins that judgeship in 2008, he's legally a public figure and can legally be put into ANY game... see the Clintons' presence in NBA Jam and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing.

Anyone else actually remember the congresman that sega put in eternal champions cd?

Ah the good old days when companies actually used their medium to make statments instead of fearing lawsuits. I was wearing an onion around my waist, which was the style at the time...
