Back when the SNES/Genesis versions of MKII were released Acclaim and Electronics Boutique gave away an MKII phone card as a pre-order bonus. I used the card long ago but I kept it because I thought it was a nice little collectable. I came across it this weekend while I was cleaning and just for the heck of it I tried the 1-800 number on the back. It worked! It still gave the "exclusive MKII game tip" and everything. I can't believe that recording still exists. Unreal. Its 10 years old.

Try it for yourselves if you want some nostalgia: 1-800-990-8886.

Nothing. NOTHING, can prepare you...

:lol thank you

 

[RevenantKioku]

Oh dear god, that was so hot.

 

[robot]

that was pretty damn funny - and now I know how to challenge Smoke!
I can't wait for Maximum Carnage to come out for my super nintendo.

 

[shoplifter]

You haven't lived until you've heard call-in orders requesting 20 year old merchandise, thinking they could still get it because they still had the catalog.

Keep in mind that this line hadn't been used a single time in over 10 years. It's funny how the company would keep these useless lines open in the event that a single person would not have a current catalog.

 

[belgurdo]

Wow...I thought only the Japanese did that whole collectible phone card thing

 

[segasonic]

hahaha, that was awesome.

 

[Bog]

The pins on those were so easy to figure out. My friends and I probably ruined about 50 for people by just guessing numbers.

 

[FoneBone]

Awesome.

 

[Error Macro]

Holy shit. That made my day. Thank you!

 

[Alcibiades]

Oh dear god, that was so hot.

indeed!

 

[Docpan]

Nothing, NOTHING can prepare you~! Look for Maximum Carnage~!

 

[Alcibiades]

I wonder where that recording is located, and who's paying to keep it up?

 

[theo]

This would explain Acclaim's bankruptcy.

"The number you have dialed cannot be reached from your calling area."

[Laurent]

Somebody ougth to make an MP3 out of this for us poor foreigner...

 

[Error Macro]

Someone needs to make an Mp3 so that the legacy of the recording may live on! (when someone finally realizes it's still in operation and pulls the plug)

 

[Justin Bailey]

Haha, oh man that's the coolest thing I've heard all day.

 

[tedtropy]

Dude, Smoke totally accepted my challenge!! That was the funniest thing I have experienced today. Thank you.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Somebody ougth to make an MP3 out of this for us poor foreigner...

[TekunoRobby]

Holy shit I'm going to totally own Mortal Kombat now, thanks Acclaim!

[Baron Aloha]

I just tried it. It still works. Someone needs to record it. I would, but I don't have a microphone on my cpu.
