The History of Mortal Kombat - 2021 remastered arcade console documentary

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Some people have noticed stuttering in the clips, where exactly in the video are you seeing this?

[@MrFatsluttytone]

All the game and movie footage. Your voice is clear. ✌

[@recr0000001]

Not all of the clips have the stuttering. For example, the clip of Clash Of The Titans has the stuttering, but the clip of Jason And The Argonauts does not.

[@cattycats4]

the audio from some the clips, at one point it drowns out your voice at 11:20. most of the video is fine

[@robertrada4783]

11:07-11:30 sounds like a tremolo effect. I wouldn’t worry about it.

How absolutely rare it is to see a popular arcade/console game with a superior DOS port.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

The timeframe was right around the turning point where PC was REALLY starting to pull head of consoles. The 486 processor was a huge game changer. With-in a year or two, PCs went from getting shoddy ports from other systems, to being the leader of the pack.

[@Rando1975]

I watched a long video about the 1995 movie earlier, and now a Patman video on the first game. It's a great day on KZbin.

The days before the internet Where the school yard was where you learned how to do specials moves

[@adrianshappymoments9343]

Or on the school bus

[@SomeOrangeCat]

We had sacred tomes. The strategy guide.

[@WacKEDmaN]

none of my friends wanted to share... too scared they would lose their competitive edge!.. ohh the hours spent standing around the arcade cabinet watching top players just to try to learn some moves!

[@thisisnotachannel]

It was THE topic of conversation at my school and on the bus back in 1992 for my friends and I, and those two places were my main resource for MK moves and cheats... until the console versions came out. Then I could use my "Nintendo Power" (I had a subscription, and every SNES port had an issue where a section was devoted to the special moves and finishers... and they were always the same inputs as the arcade versions) to learn the moves so I could use them at the arcade. So in a very direct way, "Nintendo Power" gave 12 year old me a slight edge whenever I played at the arcade... especially against another person.

[@lancelange9377]

My first experience with this game was the SNES port. Despite knowing I was playing a watered-down version, I still liked it because Scorpion was my main and his fatality was technically the exact same.

If anything good can be said about the fatalities on the SNES port of Mortal Kombat, they gave Sub-Zero a rather fitting one and it would be updated for later games.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is true

[@noside.foxhound]

In fact, those unused sprites in the arcade, are used in a full game for the M.U.G.E.N, Engine called "Mortal Kombat Project" and there's a ton more of full games like these, also, love the jokes in your videos lol, cheers!

genesis is where I learned to perfect the fatalities with a 3 button controller since 94 but due to snes version being sold out I didn't have a choice. Still, j e joyed it for 2 years until I traded it in.

Definitely when it comes to the first game, the arcade version is the only one I play. I love when you're at the second or third round (depending) of the last endurance match you can hear Goro stomping around, bashing walls, and roaring.

[@thisisnotachannel]

I will happily watch this for the fourth time. And in HD? Thanks for giving me another good reason to do so! This is mostly stuff I already knew, being 40 years old and having been fascinated with MK characters, lore, and history since it was released in arcades in 1992... but I enjoy how succinctly and eloquently you present the history of the game in your videos, and I did learn several things when I watched the first time. For example, I never knew that originally Shang Tsung was to be the only killable opponent. I'm glad they changed that, but it would have been cool if they still let us kill Shang Tsung also. Thanks, Pat!

[@Albert8044]

Elizabeth Malecki who played Sonya Blade was approached by Dan Pesina when in the middle of production needed a female character at the last minute. Since Elizabeth Malecki was a dance/aerobics instructor her outfit consist of tights and leotard which was a popular trend in the 90's, she decided to go with that outfit as Sonya Blade.

[@RockyFluffyWhiskas]

Sonya Blade reminded me of Cynthia Rothrock

Surprised you didn't bring up Basic Fun's Arcade Classics Mortal Kombat machine. It was a Walmart exclusive $20 miniature arcade machine, but due to the licensing, they had to change the side art to a generic one with Scorpion from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It also ran a modified version of the Genesis port, with the Blood Code and Cheat Menu disabled.

The game was also influenced by the movie Master of the Flying Guillotine but no one ever mentions this. There is a character in that movie that looks like Raiden also the Pit stage seem to come from this movie. The film is a sequel to One Armed Boxer and both movies influenced the Street Fighter series as well. Check em out. Great video as usual.

It is surprising at how well the Amiga port controls. The load times are mercifully shorter than many other games on the system, and the disk-swapping is kept to a minimum. Considering they made it with the Amiga 500 in mind, the base architecture of which was made in 1985, I think they did a pretty good job.

[@pferreira1983]

Probe knew their stuff. 👍

[@zackschilling4376]

I hate this newer attitude Ive seen lately toward MK1 - Ive heard quite a few people say its a bad movie - Nah homey, I was there. It was pure awesomeness. We loaded up the mini van and saw it at our local drive-in. I forgot what the other movie was, as our drive-In always played double features. Thank goodness Nintendo realized their mistake with MK2, which was a great port on SNES for the time. We played the hell outta that game. Patman, did you play the GameGear MK on an emu or an actual GG? It does have some stuttering, but it was still a pretty good port for handheld at the time. Great video!

I couldn't find a definitive answer but I think it was because there was an arcade game with the same name.

This is still one of my favorite games of all time. I have the arcade board of the original but haven't played that version in years due to needing to rebuild the control panel and I haven't had time to mess with it, but will in the near future. In the early 90s I had both the Game Gear and Floppy disk DOS port. The Game Gear version seemed decent at the time but looks terrible now. The DOS port was great and I even got a keyboard gamepad in order to control the game. From what I remember this game required 8MB of ram and I only had 4MB and had to use a ram doubler to fool the game into starting, which would cause some bad stuttering occasionally during gameplay. Since the ram was around $200 to go from 4 to 8 megabytes(yes MB) at the time I managed to work out a solution.

The matches were not a 2 on 1. They were endurance matches where you fought 1 opponent, beat them and then immediately fight another with whatever life you had left over from fighting the 1st opponent. Also the sound is all jacked up. Not sure if you did it to bypass getting a strike when using movie material, but its jacked up in parts where it's not part of a movie.

[@sprnightfire]

I remember you already cover the first Mortal Kombat already but this updated version was great. However I didn't like the 2021 film. 1995 film to me will always be the best.
