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

Nice I alwasy wanted to check out MK: SM. I remember we always used to say how cool it'd be to play a scrolling beat em up with characters with a full range of moves, which is pretty much what that tried isn't it?

I think when they get a bit cheaper I'll buy a PS3 and try build a back catalogue of PS2 games I missed, hopefully most of them will be compatable.

Oh, I know! I haven't had the pleasure of playing "MK: SM"... and I was mistaken earlier when I said they ditched Raiden... It appears that he returns in "Mortal Kombat: Trilogy", and then in "MK4".

Oops... haha. I have not played any of these, so I was not aware. I am glad they decided to bring him back now, though...

Oh, now I wanna play!!!! Hahaha.:D

for me Reptile or Rain, before them though it was Scorpion, the only finisher I could do at the time back 3 space block and press up x3 and punch (I think), could be wrong (how rubbish am I). The megadrive and SNES differed slightly because the SNES had the blood on while the megadrive required a cheat to activate it, Raiden said "KIN-DA-BER-I" or something like that on the SNES version while the megadrive he said nothing on his torpedo move.
 
Mortal Kombat was my favourite coin op at one point I organised a tournament for it in my local arcade, we had some top players back then who could do most of the fatalties.

Ahhh happy days of course in my neck of the woods there are very few arcades with actual GAMES left. Most went under as the playstation grew in popularity. But thats for another thread.

I have Mortal Kombat deception in the house but cant get past the training in the story mode, which is a shame as it put me off playing it.

Dont know what the rest are like kind of gave up at that one in sheer frustration.
 
Wow, this takes me back. I did used to play MK, although I played SFII more. I always played (rather predictably, perhaps) as Liu Kang, followed by Kung Lao or Kitana. It's been ages since I played an MK game, though - my gaming habits took me more towards RPGs.

That's awful about MKD... I don't blame you there...

I miss those arcade days as well...

I remember when everyone thought it was horribly violent, haha. (Which, granted, for its day... it was). The original MK could not hold a torch to today's games in the area of violence.

I'll admit... Scorpion kicked some tail!!! He was a pretty cool character back when most of the characters (except Raiden, Sub Zero, etc.) did not have really cool "powers"... so, he was fun to play with.

(I never really used cheats... I wish I would have now, though.)
 
Ah, Mortal Kombat. I don't think I played this as much as I played Street Fighter (loved Street Fighter) and it's been a fair few years indeed since I played it, but I know I always liked Scorpion ("Get over here!"). He was cool.

I loved the film as well, watched that so many times when younger. I always remember the lines from the ending "You wee pathetic fools, I've come for your souls!" "I don't think so" [Cue music]. Awesome.

Hahaha, yes! That was an awesome scene!!!!

Quokka and I were discussing this... and I always thought he said, "get over here!" But I wasn't sure if he said different things on different game systems...

I liked SF as well... but not as much as MK. Not sure why... I always liked the characters on MK better.

I as well... I don't even own the game anymore. :(

I'm half tempted to find it on ebay or something... But, I know what will happen, hahaha. I will be glued to it... again.:p
 
The makers of Mortal Kombat made a trailer that was showed in the cinema when I was younger and I remmber thinking then Wow is this a movie trailer, one of the first game adverts to show something other than screenshots.

The films werent too bad but the TV series was absolutley awful, I remmber sitting with afriend watching it and laughing so hard as it was just sooooo, bad!
 
Oooooo I dont know take the bad acting from Dynasty Dallas and V the TV series. The cosutumes from a WWF take off (lots of spandex and leather) add in the fight scenes reminicent of a cheap TV programme done in the seventies. O it was really awful bad acting naff fight scenes, who said Chuck Norris Texas Ranger!:D

Yeah I thought he said Come Here! which may have been from the megadrive version or more likely just from my little memory world :), either way there's that cheesy movie ending I mentioned lol.
