Remember when Midway tried to copy Mortal Kombat? - The Flophouse Files

[@richardlawrence1570]

I worked with a dude who worked on MACE : The Dark Age . He brought in the original character design cards they made for the game . I saw at least 10 different characters that did not make the game , and some variants . They used the design cards in focus groups that they would hold in his area , they would bring in kids to pick what they thought was the coolest character was and then rank them . This is how they decided on what characters to use in the game . Well narrow down the choices from what the designers made .
