[@leighbyford635]

I think you needed a 486 dx2 66 to play this at full detail if I remember. Which was about $2000 in 1993. The main issue back then was there was no decent game pads. They never calibrated properly , there was no standard and they all used there own drivers. So nothing ever controlled properly . Also it had to be played on a 14 inch monitor. Pc gaming wasn’t quite the master race it is now.

@@jordanthompson-uy7fz They're pretty creative, actually. For one thing, if you've ever had the misfortune of seeing it, when someone gets electrocuted, all that's left is a smoldering skeleton, so Raiden's fatality actually makes more sense that way. And Sub-Zero's deep-freeze-and-shatter fatality was actually so well liked by the MK arcade development team that they included it as one of Sub-Zero's fatalities in MKII.

The MEGA CD version had zero excuses to not make the SFX and music exactly the same as the arcade with both execution, cue-points and selection. Heck, if the MD version looked like the Jakk Pacific TV game, the gaming world's perspective towards MK would have been different.

[@greensun1334]

...this would be a Step backwards. The Jakks Pacific - Port is much more Arcade-accurate than the other 16bit-Ports! Better Gameplay, bigger Sprites, all SFX and Samples - just no Parallax-Scrolling- but this doesn't matter...

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

Arcade: The One and only Amiga: A decent port for the time being. Genesis: Without blood, it's good play but butchered looks. WITH BLOOD IT IS MUCH REDEEMED. PC DOS (Floppy): Definitely sounds like an audio mashup. Seems neat at least. SNES: Has some of the most memorable audio and sound effects... but the control and lack of blood severely hampers itself from superior ports. Sega CD: A More well-refined form of the Genesis port. The Master System: Only in Brazil....... I mean this is 8-bits we're talking about here... Play it with the dam blood at least..... it's just not worth it otherwise. Game Gear: A neat portable edition, but pales in comparison to various home console ports. Gameboy: Oh god, the GB edition. Memorable and Nostalgic, but it's more a chore than consider playing this port than enjoying it. Also, no blood. Pathetic. PC DOS (CD): Arguably the most well-refined in terms of audio, sound, and gore. Controls very well. JAKKAS Pacific TV Game (What the heck is this?): A pretty neat port to say the least. PSP edition: Definitely sounds portable, but hot dam its good. Modern-Era Consoles (PS2-now): As good and refined as they come with time's progression.

Matt Furniss' score on the Mega Drive is pretty good (I think the sound engine was enhanced from Probe's previous title on the Mega Drive, - check out the sound on that one to see what I mean, particularly with respect to some of the voice effects), but the feel of the arcade is somewhat different. As the Mega Drive wasn't particularly suited to playing lots of PCM samples, that - coupled with the fact that the existing samples are rather high quality - is probably the reason why so many have been left out.

I played with the plug and play one years ago but more recently, like a year ago, I got Mortal Kombat X. I didn't realize there would be a story till I played that one. Lol. So I didn't completely know the story but I understood enough I think. I now am playing through Mortal Kombat 11 and man are these games gory. Lol.

[@NonbinaryFelineArtist]

Me at the Amiga port: This looks like the developers took the Sega Genesis port at crammed it into an Amiga floppy disk, but made the graphics look a bit cheaper and made the music sound...weird. Me at the Sega Genesis port: This is what you call a good port, the controls are responsive, the music screams Sega Genesis, and it has the blood (but you have to enter a code for that). Me at the PC-DOS (Floppy Version): Well the graphics look pretty good for MS-DOS, but the gameplay is quite slow, there’s constant screen tearing and the music sucks, but hey, at least it has blood. Me at the SNES port: Again, the graphics look pretty good for the system, it runs at a decent frame rate, the music sounds good and the voice samples sound better than the one’s from the Genesis port. But the controls feel unresponsive, and the developers removed the blood and replaced it with sweat. Me at the Sega CD port: This is just an enchanted version of the Genesis port, it has sprite scaling, the animations look better, it has the music of the arcade and you don’t have to enter the blood code. Me at the Sega Master System port: The graphics are acceptable for the Master System, the music is alright, it has that “Sega Master System” sound to it, and it has the blood. But the gameplay is choppy and slow. Me at the Sega GameGear port: This is just the Master System port, but the colors look slightly different and has screen crunch. Me at the GameBoy port: I forgot about this barf bag of a game, it manages to be worse than the Master System and GameGear ports, it is slow, choppy, super-unresponsive and it has some of the worst pieces of music you’ll ever hear coming out of your GameBoy’s speaker. And also this is why you should never use digitized sprites in a GameBoy game. Me at the PC-DOS (CD Version): Again, the graphics look pretty good, but now the gameplay, frame rate and music have been improved, but it still has screen tearing. Me at the JAKKS Pacific TV Game port: This one...could pass for a early or mid-90s home console port, I mean it’s fine enough, but the fact that this thing was released in 2004. Me at the rest of other ports: I don’t really have much to say about the other one’s, they are near-perfect arcade ports, well sure, some of them have the screen a bit smaller, but that’s really about it.

I had forgotten how cut back the MD version is. Half the animation frames and no speech.The amount of blood on it was also exaggerated compared to other ports lol. Maybe they needed space on the rom to put in all that gore. But it was also an extremely good playing port on the real hardware. Same as MKII, I think they controlled better than on the SNES IMO. Even though the SNES was significantly more animated and had the speech and whatnot. This and MKII were important titles for the MD in north america. The only port this game needed was that obligatory Spectrum ZX port that every other game on the planet was ruined by, though I will settle for the GameBoy and Master System ports.

I never played it, but for some reason I'm really drawn to the look and sound of the PSP version. I like the punched up audio and I think it gets the pixely look just about right.

Looks like Sub Zero is doing this.

My sister when she was young played the what we called Sega Megadrive Mortal Kombat as Sonya Blade but me I play Liu Kang so when I mentioned about Mortal Kombat she said she used to play the game and also she was 8 years old when the movie came out

[@lucianovalda5526]

Por las versiones que yo jugue en Arcade, Sega Genesis, Snes, Pc. Me quedo con el Arcade. Mejor grafico, sonido y jugabilidad Sega Genesis por su jugabilidad Snes por su bueno una copia pirata que me divirtió bastante jugarlo.

Had the PC disk version at the same time it was at the arcade in my town. I used to think the audio was obviously better at the arcade, due to audio samples and also the more powerful, better quality speakers. But I guess your audio card mattered as well. A Siund Blaster 8, 16 or 24, although not CD quality must have made a hige difference. Interestingly, and this gets never mentioned, on PC you could lower the details, essentially removing parts of the background, to make it run smooth on less powerful machines. I think it could run on even a 386 at the time.

3:03 WTF

[@kddreadlord5532]

the fatality is F D F HP, but when people do it sub zero does not crouch. Can someone explain to me how it works? I've been trying to do the fatality but it never works

[@kddreadlord5532]

@Sub Zero im very stupid, what does close hold mean? edit: does it mean that you have to hold front and high punch?

[@kddreadlord5532]

@Sub Zero i got it now, just gotta click it fast :D

[@pointedspider]

Must be the Mandela effect but I swear that sub zero had 3 fatalities in MK2. One was the spine rip!

[@AWPanzer]

Buenas, ando buscando una version arcade donde al morir caias a un poso extremadamente profundo y con pinchos (luego aparecia el tipico "insert Coin")

[@cfdultrafinals6039]

Cool

[@MrSergione1978]

You didn't include the 8-bit home computers ports ...

[@ronlivingstone1634]

Sub Zero has the same Idle animation as Scorpion has in the Sega version

[@MeduzaTeam2009]

PS1 and Saturn version missing.

[@Patrick19833]

Mortal Kombat 1 never came out on the PS1 and Saturn.

[@elderyautja165]

PSP version? Where can I find that one? 😅 last one I need for the kollection. 😁

[@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus]

Why is the announcer in the SEGA CD so low pitched

[@scorpi_gan]

I hate how they always changed sub-zero's ice impact sound effect. I still to this day think the original arcade sound effects were gold.
