I remember playing this game back in 1993 on a TV with its usual tinny speakers. It's great to hear the bass from the music through a modern soundsystem, so thanks for sharing the playthough! Favourite music must had been the level where you fought Kano. I totally forgot about the "test your might" screens!
The Blood Code is A,B,A,C,A,B,B do you have a 3 button controller? Because with the 3 button controller dosent work for the blood code only for the 6 button.
Still think the original Mortal Kombat had the best music out of the whole series. Sure, it's got that stereotypical Asian-strings thing going on - but that's kind of what makes it so awesome.
The big deal between Genesis vs SNES Mortal Kombat is that Genesis had a code that turned on blood and fatalities. Can't believe you didn't enter the code.
@gusto1978 If you don't enter the blood code at the start of the game, the fatalities are toned down versions of themselves, depending on the violence in the original fatality. Sub Zero has this stupid uppercut, Kano has a kick to the chest I think and so on. Once you enter the code they regain the original arcade fatalities.
the first level reminds me of the movie enter the dragon because han (the bad guy) has this island and sets up a fighting tournament. the main arena is a place similar to the stage except instead of monks there are karate guys and instead of shang tsung there is han
@kvikzor This version does have blood. Its just that this idiot didn't bother to enter the code, which has ruined this longplay. Shame, because this was the best version.
@hybridfury mate give it a whirl! I cant remember what all the flags do, but the one where you can turn on a Reptile Klue before each fight is cool :)
oh godddddddddd my heart sank into my stomach when the first notes of the intro started. I'm back in my room at my old house eating cereal straight from the box and kicking ass. Took me right back ; )
I agree with flashdoom. No blood, no real fatalities, no fight against Reptile (wasn't Noob Saibot in the first game too, or only in the second one?) and the fighting style is not good either. If the player has to use the freeze and uppercut combo all the time to win, maybe it would have been better to chose a lower difficulty level, but have more interesting and less repetitive fights.
Shadow, the blood code is a cheat, and isnt allowed in a longplay. As you can tell Im not really a huge fan of this one. Number 2 will be alot more better I can promise that. If you've seen my UMK3 run, you'll know what to expect :)
I understand, but when it comes down to it, this was the version everyone wanted in home consoles. Why? Because of BLOOD! And I'll be sure to watch 2, its my favorite of all MKs after all.
Ah the DULLARD cheat. My dad got to Reptile through literally about a month of trial and error, with DULLARD I may have been cheating, but I got to him in 5 minutes. Ah cheats....something that seems to be disappearing completely from new age games...
It sure was fun. It only got more fun, and dangerous, with Gameshark. By dangerous I mean...I fried my whole first PS2 memory card by activating a cheat in Silent Hill 3 that let me open any door...and I saved...yeah, I'm not that dumb any more...
18:23 "He was paid a large some..." XD Some? They meant "sum", right?
Interesting playthrough, though I've seen some much better ones, even ones that fought Reptile.... and ones that didn't spam the same thing so much. Freeze, uppercut, freeze, uppercut... It was effective, but kinda boring. :/
love some of the music from certain stages! get this shit on itunes!!!

The word 'code' has many different definitions. The Shaolin Martial Arts Tournament is governed by a system of rules of conduct... An ethical code.
The combatants respect each other as warriors, no matter what degree of hatred they have for one another... A code of honor.
Another type of code could be defined as an arbitrary system of symbols or letters for transmitting messages... A secret code.
Mortal Kombat adheres to many codes, but does it contain one?
A, B, A, C, A, B, B... A blood code.
