Tomorrow at
Galloping Ghost Arcade (GGA) in the Chicago suburb of
Brookfield, IL there will a fun filled day for Mortal Kombat fans. As usual there will be Mortal Kombat Tournaments but there will also be some Mortal Kombat Celebrity guests.
Throughout the day six of the original actors from the first three Mortal Kombat games will be making an appearance. The actors appearing are

NetherRealm Studios), his brother
Daniel Pesina (Johnny Cage & MK1-2 Ninjas),

Richard Divizio (Kano, Quan Chi, Kabal and Baraka). They will be signing autographs and posing for photos. So be sure to bring your MK collectibles and cameras, there are typically headshots available as well for autographs!
The game tournaments will be held for the original trilogy of
Mortal Kombat 1,
Mortal Kombat 2 and
Ultimate MK3 along with
2011's Mortal Kombat reboot in GGA's custom cabinets. The tournaments will be in a double elimination format and best 2 out of 3, so everyone has a fair chance of winning. There will also be prizes for each of the tournament winners.
