Who knew that if Haitian Emperor Faustin Soulouque had been successful in his multiple attempts to exterminate the Dominican people, Mortal Kombat might had never come into existence. Pedro Santana didn't know it at the time, but his successful actions had many indirectly impacts into the future.

It's a multi-billion dollar industry, so someone has to like it and buy it. The prices for several games are insane. US$50, US$60, US$70 are "normal" prices for a game. It used to be that you can buy a new popular game for around US$20 or less. What happen to those days?

Now I wonder how much the Mortal Kombat series have made for them (including the co-creator)? Its popularity reached heights enough to turn the game into a movie. Both the games and the movie were sold/shown worldwide.

Today this made it to a Santo Domingo radio station. Supposedly, his mother is Dominican.
