WANTED: Early Mortal Kombat II Feature from 1993

[OutworldArcade]

I recall seeing a feature in a gaming magazine maybe Summer/Fall 1993 era that gave a first look at Mortal Kombat II arcade game. If my memory serves me, it was a very brief mention and was just a few low quality camera shots of the game that showed Reptile and the Dead Pool stage. This was definitely the first time I saw any look at the game and I would stare at it over and over!
I have scoured through EGM, GamePro, and Game Players '93 issues, among a few others with no luck. It looks like the main coverage of that game started in December '93 with photos from the October AMOA show and was then a main feature in Jan '94, but considering it started hitting the arcades that Fall, I expect what I'm looking for would have came well before December.
I can't remember what magazine it was in or what month and have been looking for this for years! Anyone else recall this? No one I've talked to seems to remember. I would love to be able to find this again and soak up that nostalgia!

Welcome to the site, @OutworldArcade! I'm doing some digging into the archives to see if I can find anything out. I can't promise anything, but I'll certainly do my best.
