styles and special moves. New Gambling – Players will be able to bet in-game on the outcome
of linked battles, mini-games and other secret fighting challenges. New Red “Koins” – Earn new red “koins” in order to unlock or
purchase hidden characters, backgrounds and other features in the
“krypt.” Red “koins” can only be earned by playing Mortal Kombat:
Tournament Edition. New Battlegrounds – Fight in new dynamic environments such as the
Lost Tomb, Wu Shi Academy, Sarna Ruins, Molochs Lair, as well as most
popular backgrounds from the original Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. New Warriors – Test fighting skills as Cyrax, Drahmin, Hsu Hao,
Johnny Cage, Mavado, Raiden and Reptile or newcomers Bo Rai Cho and
Nitra.

JAG star died from drug overdose
Posted On: Aug 15 2003, 08:02 AM
The following report about the death of
Trevor Goddard appeared 10 days ago on
news.com.au
HOLLYWOOD actor Trevor Goddard died from an
overdose of heroin, cocaine and prescription drugs but did not commit
suicide, a Los Angeles coroner ruled today.
Goddard, an Englishman who fooled Tinseltown for years into believing he
was Australian, was found dead in his North Hollywood home on June 8.
The Los Angeles County Department of Coroner initially suspected the
37-year-old had committed suicide.
"The findings of the autopsy have established the cause of death to be
multiple drug intoxication," LA Coroner's spokesman David Campbell told
AAP.
"The coroner has ruled the death accidental."
Campbell said an autopsy performed on June 10 found heroin, cocaine and
the prescription drugs valium and vicodin in Goddard's body.
Goddard had a starring role in the TV show JAG and his latest big screen
performance was in the hit movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of
the Black Pearl.
Goddard had promoted himself as an Australian in Hollywood and had a thick
Australian accent, but it was not until after his death it was revealed
Goddard was born and raised in England.
Goddard's father, Eric, shocked mourners at a wake for the actor in LA
with the revelation that Goddard was not Australian.
Goddard had made up a fictitious but colourful story about himself growing
up in Perth and moving to the US to become a professional boxer.
Our forum member Masos sent us a demo
version of a game called Mortal Kombat: The Dark Tournament. This game
is still in development. The demo version features 2 characters, one
playable (Sub-Zero) and one unplayable (Rahan - made up character). The
game is created with Smart Engine, written in Turbo Pascal 7.0. The
author (Masos) needs ideas and suggestions, so if you have some go to
our forum and share them.
Here are two screenshots from the game:
