Mortal Kombat... Remember that??? Who was your favorite...

[CharleneHaines]

......................fighter?

Personally, I preferred Raiden, with Sub-Zero coming in at a very close second.

That was my favorite game back in the day.

Lui Kang was an early favourite just because he was easy to use. Then probably Scorpian how could you go past the rope dart . I probably played MK3 the most when it came out later on the megadrive.

The only thing I didn't like about Lui Kang, was that he seemed "plain"... you know what I mean? He could do some neat tricks... but he couldn't shoot you with a bolt of lightening... of pull you closer with a rope dart and yell, "get over here!!!!!"

Yes, Scorpian was a nifty fellow...

Now, there were some neat fighters in MK2... like Reptile, Kitana, and Baraka.

But... I like the old school version better.

Motaro was pretty cool... So was Smoke!!! Who did you use most of the time on MK3?

I used Sindel because Raiden was no more.

Yeah Lui Kang definitely felt like the generic starter character, I thought Scorpian's catch cry "Come Here!" ?

 

[Quokka]

I always tried to use all the characters in the beat em ups and I think MK3 even had a random option or was that Tekken3? but i think smoke was also a favourite and probably Kabal as well.

Oops... I may have been mistaken! My brother and I always thought he said, "Get over here!"

No, I think MK3 had a random option... I vaguely remember something like that...

Oh yes! Kabal!!!! I forgot about him!!!

I usually pick one I like and stick with him/her... until they quit bringing them back in the latest versions................

Poor Raiden...

How could they have left him out, he was definitely one of the most interesting ones I think the last one I played was the PS1 versions with weapons.

I honestly do not remember the last time I played... I heard the theme song today and I thought of this game, so I wanted to see how other people thought of it...

I know! I LOVED him!!! I was very faithful to him, until his creators thought his time was through.

Very tragic...

But, I quickly moved on... hahahaha.

 

[CharleneHaines]

By the way... what did you think of the "Mortal Kombat" theme song???

I heard this today, and that is what made me think of my first favorite video game!

 

[Quokka]

From the movie? Gotta say I liked it in a cheesy kind of way same with the theme from the Lost in Space movie (probably the best part of that one).

Hahahaha... I just liked it because he announces the fighters... I think that was cool.

Now, what about the movie? Actually... both movies? What are your thoughts on them?

 

[Quokka]

I can't really remember the second one but the first one certainly had its moments and I thought Christopher Lambert made a good Raiden, in fact from memory most of the characters were pretty well done and it actually worked better that they didnt go too overboard creating an alternative plot line (I'm looking at you Street Fighter ). Didn't it end with some chessy line by Lambert?

 

[CharleneHaines]

Hmmm... I am getting the first and second mixed up in my head... I think the first one ended with Lui Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya, and Raiden leaving the tournament... and the sky got dark...

(I agree... "Street Fighter" was a joke... I like that game as well, though)...

 

[Quokka]

Yeah I was a big SF fan, the anime movie was a lot more watchable then Van Dame's version although I gotta say Raul Julia was good as Bison, pitty that was about it.

 

[Quokka]

That's right and was Khan sitting on his throne or something? I'm not even sure I've seen the second one though I'd be suprised if I didnt at some point but now I'm going to have go find me a copy of MK to watch again .

Yes, he was excellent in that!

You're right... that's about it.

I remember a giant creature in the sky or something... and the "good" characters were preparing themselves to go into battle again... then, it was over.

Hahahaha, me too! Now. it's bugging me... bah!

The second one, we meet Reptile, Mileena, Jade, Nightwolf, Sindel... and quite a few others that I cannot think of right now.

There's a different Sonya, which sucked... I like the actress that played Sonya in the first one.

I found a really coooooool () picture of Sub Zero. It's from "Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks":
