Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Mortal Kombat series (4 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Probe/Sculptured Software/Midway/Acclaim
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Fighting
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          There are many worlds besides our own, many realms where
                  both good and evil hold sway.  For centuries, Shang Tsung
                  of the Outworld has sought to control the Mortal Kombat
                  tournament for his own ends.  Now a new champion must
                  arise from our world that will fight to the bitter end
                  and put an end to Shang Tsung's ambitions.  This video
                  game series was so popular that it spawned both a live-
                  action and an animated TV series, and a live-action movie
                  starring Christopher Lambert as Rayden.

IMPRESSIONS:      It is the considered opinion of most video game experts
                  that the MK games are more hype than they are substance.
                  Their opinion is that they are flashy SF2 clones that
                  don't always deliver the goods.  That didn't keep Midway
                  from selling copies by the bucketful, and the Mortal
                  Kombat franchise has been one of its most profitable
                  ventures since its inception.  Perhaps its reputation as
                  a violent game with lots of blood-letting during the
                  fights is what gave the series its overhyped reputation.

VARIATIONS:       Mortal Kombat (1993, featured the now-familar cast of
                    Earth and Outworld fighters in their first contest -
                    by far the worst graphically of the bunch, as the
                    jerkiness and poor digitzation show)
                  Mortal Kombat 2 (1994, the contest moves to the Outworld
                    as Sonya Blade continues her pursuit of Kang - this
                    introduced several new characters and is generally
                    considered to be the best of the Genesis series)
                  Mortal Kombat 3 (1995, even more characters join the
                    roster as the Outworld launches its invasion of Earth -
                    nice graphics and decent gameplay, but the jerky
                    animation has unfortunately returned)
                  Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995, same as MK3 but with
                    several "enhancements," including more blood and gore
                    during the fight scenes)

I used to own a Super NES and their version of Mortal Kombat. I got appalled by that version because of lack of blood, so on October 11th, 2003, I bought a Sega Genesis and the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat because only that version had the blood code.

I'm more of a Street Fighter type brother but MK 1 gets my cult classic vote.
The conversion was poor, but at least Sega kept the blood in it.
I know that's not enough to neglect it flaws (Sub-Zero is just a blue Scorpion), but at that time we wanted more of that reddish goo.

The magic word "Dullard" with me..
The whole theme was obscure, maybe that's what kept us playing... Even though a 3-buttoned joypad sucked. But it was nice.
On the G/MD, pt.2 & 3 aren't really much compared with the rival SNES versions.
I think Midway just became too greedy with the MK franchise. The Animalities, Babalities & Friendships were nice but they got carried away with it. (Remember the rumors about Animalities?)
Don't even get me started about Mortal Kombat 4!!
And now I'm reading they're busy with 5. Ed Boon give it up already....

Mortal Kombat 1 is a suprisingly good game in my opinion. (But my opinion is judged by the fact I have never played the arcade version).

The moves being simple to pull off, and some unique features for the time (Sub-Zero's Ice Move or Raiden's Teleportation) make it a good laugh.

One of the few 3 button fighters that while being button bashing, pulled it off. Very nice.

The Mortal Kombat arcade caused a media fury over videogame violence. When MK was announced, there was much oppisition. Acclaim folded under the pressure and softened the graphic gore. However, they included a "DULLARD" code to turn it back on in the Genesis. All SNES users could do was use a GameGenie to turn the green "sweat" into red "blood". Soon after MK's release, the gaming community came up with a rating system. We were all worried about MK2, but were please to learn that they would release it with all its gore with a 'M' rating

I liked the first one back when it first came out. But after the sequels started coming out, everyone wanted to play nothing but Mortal Kombat. It got old real quick.

Capcom and SNK hold the crown of fighters.

Who the hells the doush bag that wrote this review? What a chode! He doesn't know jack about the MK series, and the MK series has never been jerky from any standpoint, animation or control. The only jerk is this SF2-infatuated loser. SF2 was good in the day, but as soon as MK and its realism hit the arcades, people flocked to that and left SF2 in the dust.

MK has far and away turned MUCH more profit for Midway than SF2 ( and all of its weak, weak sequels ) has for Capcom. Capcom doesn't know how to evolve with the times unlikes MK, which exemplifies this in the near THREE MILLION COPIES that they sold for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance for the top 3 systems of today.

Mortal Kombat: Deception is out now and is being touted as possibly the best fighting game ever. If you have an Xbox or PS2, check it out! There are 4 very different game modes, plus online playability that runs as smooth as a baby's ass! Check it!

The idiot that wrote this review is also VERY bad at graphic design as it couldn't be more obvious that he just wrote MK5 and all that BS on those screenshots.

On top of that, he even spelled it as "Mortal Combat"! What an idiot!

Don't take what this guy wrote for even a lick of salt, he's just a dumb bastard.

PS - Midway has existed for 35 years, so they obviously were turning out great hits that brought in plenty of money for them to not only survive but expand. Ever hear of Galaga or Pac-Man? Ya, they made those, idiot.
