The nostalgia is strong with this one

[@METALHEADNYC]

I'm 34 and still play this game. Got the MK arcade 1up cabinet, worth every f---king peny. I was 8 years old when I first played MK1 on the Sega Genesis. At the time, there was no blood in the consoles, you had to put in a code I was completely unaware of. Didn't matter, I still thought the game was way ahead of its time. What I loved about it were the graphics, music, martial arts and interesting characters. Scorpion was my favorite, especially his story. During the early 90's, I only grew up playing very wholesome games. Mario, Ninja Turtles, and Donkey Kong etc etc. Mortal Kombat 1 was the first time I experienced a dark video game that was actually believable and violent. When Mortal Kombat 2 came out the blood and gore was added with no special codes needed, and I was slightly disturbed by it xD It felt like a game I shouldn't be playing, but that's what I loved about it in the end. When Mortal Kombat 3 and the movie arrived.... it was a full blown obsession that would last a life time.

Yup cause of space and time it was overlooked. Also the sprite was acted by the same person due to costs and time they didn’t get another actor to act out the stances and poses so they just colored in the ninjas to create another character. Same for Kitana and Mileena

[@SR7N3SI]

I’m 42 and I still remember the blood code for the MK Genesis version. A, B, A, C, A, B, B start

[@user-lg9hc1nl9u]

Eh, no, actually it's just A,B,A,C,A,B,B. So you're very close, but no there's no start in the code. But I'm very close to your age and grew up playing this game too. I have a Mortal Kombat Arcade1up now. The more I look at these games now that I'm older, the more I realize the SNES versions aren't really better, even for MKII and 3. There are more background details/animations and sounds in some of the SNES versions, but the character sprites look better in all of the Sega versions of every MK game, especially the detail in their faces. The only exception is Scorpion and Sub Zero having the same stance in MK I. The music is different in the Sega versions (except MK3), but is very good, and unique. On the Genesis version of MK3, I feel that the scratchiness of the audio/Shao Kahn's voice adds to grittiness of the game, and sounds more authentic, in a good sort of way. Also, if I remember correctly, the SNES version used the wrong music for certain levels on MK3, and the Genesis had them all correct. It is cool and nostalgic to look back on these now, but as a kid I was never satisfied with any of the home versions and dreamed that one day I would own the actual arcade versions. Now I do, but it's cool to look back at the versions I played as a kid. Finally, there was the Sega Nomad, a portal Sega Genesis, which was roughly the size of a Sega Game Gear, only fatter, and played Genesis Games. There was never a portable SNES. So the best portable versions of these games ended up being the Genesis versions. Sega Nomad is an awesome system. It can also be hooked up to a TV like a regular Genesis.

[@SR7N3SI]

@@user-lg9hc1nl9u I meant start as in starting the game after applying the blood code when you heard Scorpion say "Get over here" when done correctly. And I agree, first MK on the SNES looked great but it was bad. Genesis did a great job with the first MK. Not perfect but close enough. I preferred MKII on the SNES. MK3 on the SNES was bad but unfortunately I never played it on the Genesis. I got a Super Console X Retro emulator so I can play those games now. Playstation's MK Triology was epic

[@user-lg9hc1nl9u]

@@SR7N3SI Oh, I see what you mean now. I had the game for awhile before I was finally able to locate a magazine that had the blood code. That was awesome the first time I did the blood code! MKII overall graphics and backgrounds look better on SNES, but I think the character sprites look better on genesis (except for some missing animations) and the music is kinda cool. I didn't like that it was different than the arcade at the time, but it makes an interesting version to look back on now. I have an MK arcade1up now. Both SNES and Genesis versions of MK3 had this strange thing where it had less blood when you uppercut or roundhouse kick. They would have only two drops of blood fall to the ground, instead of like 6 in the arcade, and on the previous games on the same system. Don't know why they did that, but it sucked. That said, the playstation version was by far the best home version, and yes, I liked Trilogy too. The first Mortal Kombat is my favorite Mortal Kombat, and my favorite game of all time. A lot of people like MKII the best, but I love MKI.

[@SR7N3SI]

@@user-lg9hc1nl9u MKI has a special place in my heart. I played it at the arcade in the summer of 93' when I spent a summer at my Grandfather's house. I remember how excited I was when it was announced for the Genesis. To this day it remains as my favorite fighting game with SF2 a close second. Also, just bought the XBox Series X yesterday and the first game I bought? Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate

[@user-lg9hc1nl9u]

@@SR7N3SI Yep. Mortal Kombat is my favorite game ever. I still like how the characters look in the first game better than the other ones. To me, they look more real, and less digitized, or something. I remember seeing the arcade for the first time in a bowling alley. I LOLed when I saw Scorpion's spear move for the first time. I thought it was hilarious how he was yanking someone toward him with a spear, but just rather casually said, "Come here."
