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.

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.

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!

I played MK 1 on MAME, and MK 2 and 3 for SNES because the Roms are easier to track down.

[GADZOOKS]

You're always good for a laugh.

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.

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.

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.
