Ahhh, the evolution of console wars: SNES vs. Sega Genesis, PS1 vs. Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast (close-call), PS2 vs XBox and Gamecube, and now PS3 vs XBox 360 (sorry Wii doesn't qualify in my opinion). For the old-school gamers, does anybody remember Mortal Kombat on Sega Game Gear? Long live the 90s!
snes had a capacity for 24 bit to 32 bit music. sega MK2 themes are still better. the reason sega game music was better was because they had to try to make more entertaining rythms to make up for lower quality music capability.
Why was the version only limited to the genesis (beside genesis being a lump of pure awesome) if you hear the arcade version it's completely different
Fuck yes, best way I can describe this is Sci-fi Oriental awesomeness. Don't hear music with sounds like this these days. Creative, original and does its justice of MK.
@TheRestore7 LOL I can imagine that! Everybody would be on the dance floor saying "Do the Mortal Kombat dance!" I can also imagine someone fighting someone else on the dance floor to this music!
why the fuk is this not in mk9? in mk9 the music is played too low and just doesnt do it for me, shao kahn is the same cant hear a fukin word hes saying, and kintoro the best boss in my opion looks like a kid with tiger face paint on in mk9 and is growl is so lameeeeeeeee, should of bought a sega and mk2
@djjoshb You can hear the arcade version this song in versus mode with a code right before the match. And I agree, don't care much for the version on MK9 but the original arcade version of this song is the best.
Even to this day I still hum this song! At the age of 5 my dad and I would "play" this song when we acted out our fights. Ah, good times miss the 1990's.
MK3 was done by Sculptured Software (the guys who did the previous two games on the SNES), while MK1 and MK2 were done by Probe Software on the Genesis.
@porcorosso81 I wish he could've done more music for the series. He is the reason why I like MK1 & 2 for the Genesis better than the Arcade & SNES. The tunes were so much better. The Arcade & SNES music was either bad or dull. I only like the arcade in MK3. They seemed to put more effort in the music for that game.
This track represents what Sega did over the MK 1 and 2. The Genesis kill the Arcade and SNES in music and this track right here tells us. The Arcade and SNES choose your destiny, character, and Tomb track sucks big time!!!
Yeahhh GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDON´T! Great music it reminds me of my pre-primary school years (1990-1995) then PSONE came and...I was very amused when I fought Jade for first time in the Black portal wich has the same music (thanks Top kids magazine for the tip)
The Genesis has always been good at making creepy music. If you want another good example, have a listen to Robocop vs. The Terminator's soundtrack on the Genesis.

Not Sega did, but Matt Furniss, who seems to have a great grip on the FM sound hardware. Any other composer could have screwed that up pretty badly.
