its investigator to the Arkham Sanitarium
to pick up the final card it needed. Not to
be undone, Middle-earth played The
Witchking of Angmar. The sight of the ter-
rifying creature instantly drove Mythos'
investigator's sanity to zero, giving Mid-
dle-earth the win.

Mortal Kombat vs. James Bond 007

IN A CONTEST of licensed light-
weights, the not-so-successful Mortal
Kombat squared off against the not-
much-more-successful James Bond 007.
Scorpion put on a dazzling display with
a punch-punch-kick-punch combo while
James Bond sat back and watched.
When Scorpion was done with his
dance, James Bond capped him with a
Walther PPK. Fatality!

Round Two Highlights

Magic vs. X-Files

MAGIC'S SECOND ROUND opponent was
a little bit tougher - the upstart X-Files CCG.
Fresh off of a decisive first round victory
over Illuminati in which X-Files fulfilled its vic-
tory conditions by guessing its opponent's
secret organization on the first turn, Scully
and Mulder were ready to go to work on
hacking apart the secrets of Magic's deck.
Unfortunately, they never really got the
chance. On their way to an investigation in
Minneapolis, Minn., they were waylaid by
Uncle Istvan and a band of Thrulls.

Things got even worse for X-Files on
the next turn when a UFO came out of
the sky and landed on the team of agents.
More precisely, the unidentified flying
object was a Chaos Orb, and with a nim-

ble flip, Magic used it to eliminate ALL of
X-Files' agents from the game.

Star Trek vs. Star Wars

HAVING DUSTED its '60s counterpart,
Star Trek: The Next Generation squared off
against its long-time nemesis - Star Wars.
Trek was off to a quick start when it
beamed an away team down to the planet
Tau Alpha C to investigate an anomaly.
But before the crew could complete its
mission, Luke Skywalker showed up and
sliced Wesley Crusher in half with his
lightsaber - a disappointment to Star Trek,
but a definite victory for both sides.
