MORTAL KOMBAT

[Guitar Woman]

Is there some kind of inside joke I'm not getting here?
Because it seems to me like this game sucks.
A lot. >:

[ItalianStereotype]

which one?

[Guitar Woman]

All of them.

[ItalianStereotype]

then yes, there is an inside joke. in fact, we're all in a giant "inside joke" comedy club and you're the christian fundamentalist holding a sign outside saying we're all going to hell.

[Guitar Woman]

:(

FATALITY

FLAWLESS VICTORY

[Comrade Rocket]

FRIENDSHIP...

FRIENDSHIP? AGAIN?

[Chojin]

MK 1 and 2 are awesome :<

You better be playing the arcade versions and not liek the Genesis versions >:

[Schimid]

I like MK3 better than MK2.

I used to hate this game. I still have problems with a lot of the fatalities in the third one, it just seems like half the time you get lucky and half the time you don't.

[ziggytrix]

I spent a small fortune in quarters on Street Fighter II Champion Edition back in the day, and I never really could like another tournament fighter quite the same.

Sub-zero was my favorite in the original Mortal Kombat, partly I think, cuz his moves are all very Street Fighterish.

[Shifty]

MK 1 only one i liked. and i loved playing scorpian. never played arcade version tho, played snes version

[DamnthatDavid]

Johnny Cage. I remember the coolest move for Genesis (ya, I know not as good as Arcade, still fun)

Very simple, very ball knocker.

Down-C, Splits and Punch!

[bigtimecow]

those were 400 dollar sunglasses asshole

fuckin' goro man breaking glasses and shit :lol

[Guitar Woman]

You better be playing the arcade versions and not liek the Genesis versions >:
I played MK 1 on MAME, and MK 2 and 3 for SNES because the Roms are easier to track down.

[GADZOOKS]

Guys I don't understand why I don't like game you like.

[Seven Force]

And just what the hell is wrong with the Genesis versions?

You're always good for a laugh. :lol

I got that midway arcade treasures 2 game mainly for mk2 and 3 along with rampage...I don't get how someone who's like 17 or older couldn't like Mortal Kombat. It's a fucking classic unless you're someone who's somewhat new to video games.

[Guitar Woman]

I'm not new to videogames, but I was never into fighters when I was younger so I missed out on the Mortal Kombat games. Not to mention Street Fighter and Killer Instinct.

[Chojin]

MK 2 and 3 need to be played as arcade versions. MK 1 is somewhat sorta-well done on the SNES version (minus the violence and whatnot) though.

http://www.emucation.com/roms.php?system=mame&letter=m

mk2.zip, mk3.zip, and umk3.zip, respectively (ultimate mortal kombat was a patch for mk3 released when everyone was pissed that raiden and scorpion were missing, and everyone wondered why Stryker fired his gun off after fights but wouldn't use it during one.)

MK 2 is the last good MK game in my opinion, though. ;< From MK3 on it tried too hard to be killer instinct.

Maybe it's because you're too young to remember it but part of what made MK 1 & 2 so great was all the media attention around them. I still vividly remember watching the news at my grandparents' house and having them break the MK story on it. The anchorwoman was all WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. YOU SHOULD ASK ANY CHILDREN PRESENT TO LEAVE THE ROOM. And then they showed a clip of Sub Zero performing a fatality on Sonya. And my grandmother was all UUUUHHHH!

And playing MK2 in the arcades all the time. I would play as Baraka and make people so mad :< QUIT CORNERING ME GOD QUIT IT WHAT THE GOD LET ME OUT QUIT IT and all the cool kids would play as Shang Tsung and memorize all 11 morphs and knew how to butcher the baby after doing a babality ;< Which I still don't know how to do ;<

But yeah I gotta agree with Zomboid - MK 2 is a solid fighting game. MK 1 is too, but it's more like a chess game than a polished fighter ;< Unless you have no idea what you're doing, in that case I guess it'd be kinda stupid.

Maybe I'll have to get mame with kaillera so you can watch me moidalize people with Cage and you can understand how great these games are ;<

And just what the hell is wrong with the Genesis versions?
The graphics were absolutely horrible. But MK1 on Genesis I remember playing way closer to the arcade than the SNES version.

That's more nostalgia - only genesis had the BLOOD CODE :<

[ItalianStereotype]

A, B, A, C, A, B, B

GET OVER HERE

[ArrowX]

REally!?

MK3 it was something cheap and Retarted like <-,<-, HP

[MarioRPG]

Ah yes. That code made us all feel a little cooler :)

Me and a couple of friends used to get drunk and play various midway treasures all night. MK3 was always the best though.
Pit Fighter is hilarious.

[ArrowX]

Pit fighter was awful :O

Its like street fighter if they substituted Zangeif for a fat autistic football lineman.

[MarioRPG]

Never heard of Pit Fighter. Guess I missed the boat there.

[MLE]

Thanks for letting us know!

[executioneer]

hahaha didn't pit fighter only have one attack button or something :lol

[Jeff The Ninja]

I got the PC Versions of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 on my computer. And they run great on here. Plays like the MAME emulated version and looks just as good.

[James]

Well, I guess there's enough interest here to let you guys in on a secret.

and that is?

[Sam]

A secret. :rolleyes


I'M GUESSING IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SOME CONCEPT ART FOR A MORTAL KOMBAT THAT HAS EVERY CHARACTER IN IT BUT OYU KNOW THAT IS JUST A GUESS. :rolleyes

[Zomboid]

Pretty sure that's from deception...and I'm pretty sure I don't see motaro anywhere in there >:

I know the names of all but like 4 characters in there, and I think that's cause I barely played the newest game :(

[James]

MK Armageddon, due out in October.

Almost every MK character from evey fighting game (minus Motaro), going at it one last time, before they do a major overhaul on the series for next-gen consoles.

It's basically just gonna be a huge circlejerk.

Who don't you recognize?

[Zomboid]

Ah, hopefully it'll be compatible with the 360. If not, oh well. I'll just get it for xbox.

As for the guys who's names I don't remember:

-Guy that looks like kai (almost definitely him, but I don't remember him being black and having corn rows)
- raiden lookin chick (I remember her being a demon fighter or something)
- fujin looking guy with the flags
-chick to the right of sindel and ermac
-guy directly above cyrax
-guy left of jax and below and to the right of hsu hao
- black guy in between tanya and noob saibot
-guy below raiden and to the right of stryker
-guy below shao kahn that you can only see half of

Ok, that's more than 4. I think I know who some of those are but I'm not completely sure yet. I think most of em are from deception and like I said, I didn't play that one much.

Also, reiko, smoke and noob saibot look awesome.

Edit: I'm pretty sure some of the guys I didn't remember the names for are rain (he looks different is all), darrius, li mei and ashra or whatever she was called.

[Supafly345]

Why is blaze so big? I hope the game doesn't revolve around him.

Well, I hope they don't screw this one up then.

[Chocolate Boy]

Chojin you thought mk3 and later were too much like killer instinct? I am gonna have to say that my favorite mk game ever is trilogy for playstation and n64. I kind of like how the run and combos got incorporated into the series. I'm not so much a fan of the games that are out now since they are too 3d-ish. I like basic arcade fighters myself. mk1 and 2 are more of just childhood memories for me. but i still like them too.

[Chojin]

I just hate games where you memorize button combos. MK pioneered the juggle combo system, and there was no need to add the preexisting shitty combo system from other games to it.

[Juttin]

Um....I can't believe that barely anybody knew what that pic was of,3 weeks (?) after it was published in Game Informer


I mean,that's OBVIOUSLY what he scanned those pics out of
