Notes
1. Mortal Kombat 2 was on the shelves in time for Christmas 1994. This
time around Nintendo chose not to dilute the violence and to compete head-to-
head with Sega.
2. Iona Opie ( 1993) observed similar sex differences on the playground,
although she notes that girls fight too.
3. Concerning Brown's point that enthusiasm for war may have contrib-
uted to an interest in toy soldiers, Jukes and Goldstein ( 1993) did not find
heightened interest in war toys by boys during the Gulf War. However, this may
have been due to the very high level of interest in war toys that predated their
study.
4. The first published experiment of virtual reality I have seen is an exper-
iment on the effects of violent virtual reality games ( Calvert & Tan, 1994).
5. Jeffrey Goldstein, Carla Claassen, Elsbeth van Epen, Wieger de Leur,
and Gert van der Vloed.
