Music arrangement by Anthony Putson; instrument samples optimisation and sound FX/driver by Allister Brimble.

TRIVIA: Sound engineer Allister Brimble explains the musician credits:

"I was contracted by Probe software to do the Mortal Kombat 2 audio. The original Arcade music was by Dan Forden and needed squashing down into 3 channels for the Amiga. My time was required to work on the SFX and another project, so the music arrangement work fell to Anthony Putson who I had received some demo's from and was very proficient at .MOD creation. After receiving the .MOD files back, I optimised the instrument samples by hand to get them a little smaller and plugged them into my sound driver."

On the screen where you can select between {START} and {OPTIONS}, type “FIONA”. The screen will flash green. This turns off the blood. To reactivate the blood type it again and the screen will flash red.

Select options from that same screen and type “WEDZEB”. A new option (DIAGNOSTICS) should appear at the bottom of the screen. Select this option and you will be given a list of cheat options.

If you have a French keyboard, type “ZEDWEB” instead, and for German keyboards, type “YEDWEB”.
