You need a strong stomach to hang
out in the Russell House Gameroom
these days. The blood and gore of Killer
Instinct may be too much for the weak
at heart.
Killer Instinct, the arcade's hottest
new game, is more than just your basic
man-fights-the-forces-of-evil video
game.
That's because evil usually gets the
most points.
The premise of the game is a tournament.
To win, your character must
kill many other creatures in the tour|
nament. You receive more points by
lisincr finishincr moves to kill onno
nents. These special moves usually do
something very violent and gory to
other characters.
Basically, your character choices
come down to a werewolfj a resurrected
skeleton warrior, an alien, a human
experiment, a cyborg and a dinosaur
named (would you have guessed it?)
Riptor.
If you manage to beat the game by
defeating Eyedol, the two-headed big
boss of the tournament, the game shows
I you a glance at the world ruled by your

Katie Crecente, a broadcasting
freshman, usually leaves Professor
Lynn Zoch's journalism 201 class
Wednesdays in a hurry, stopping only
to get ready before heading to
SCETV studios where she co-anchors
a program for teen-agers, "South Carolina
in the News."
Crecente, a Mauldin native, didn't
just stumble upon this position; rather,
she's been in training for a few years.
After DarticiDatiner in Mauldin Hi&rh

three years and working on a com

her career didn't start just like that;
she had to discover it.

The distinguishing feature of Killer
istinct is the killer graphics. The 64ite
images are as realistic as a fight
etween a human torch and a twoeaded
centaur can be.
"The graphics are the best out of
ny game that's come out ? no two
'ays about it," junior Alton Broome
Eud.
The background of the game is very
etailed. Scenes range from a bloodpattered
laboratory to a roof top at
unset.
The angles change quickly during
Dme fights, allowing onlookers to view
tie gore from a close-up and then at
distance.

After broadcasting Professor Sonya
