Thank you so much! It's so bizarre how dedicated I am to finding this. Its just one of those memories from my childhood I'd love to re-visit. I'm very grateful for your help!

I've been visiting the site for old gaming magazines for a long time now but never thought to create an account until now. I've desperately been searching for a specific magazine with a specific article for years. Unfortunately, I don't remember what publication it was lol. So I created an account and posted here in the forum hoping someone familiar may see it. That said, I love browsing through old magazines I looked at as a kid.

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!
