yeah the super nes version had the best graphics but the game itself sucked balls with no blood and crappy fatalities. The only good fatalities were the set on fire ones.
@TheBearOverThere Your right. Your totally right. I will. I'l do it now cos if theres one place you can get good advice, its from some jackass on the internet.
This is probably my favorite ad of all time, and I don't even really like MK. Cheesy as many other memories might have been, I've long felt that disparate parts of the early 1990s touched upon something that was magically futuristic in a way that has since been lost to the actual future of computer animation. This commercial represents an apex of that sensation for me; the promise that video games were going to lead to something devastating and wonderful.
i beg to differ street fighter 2 and super mario bros were the true trail blazers that brought gaming back to life. mortal kombat did help create that annoying rating system and grand theif auto 3 help create the open world game play that you see everywhere nowadays
yeah true I was talking about in ways of violence and how far we could go with gaming mortal kombat and gta 1 shocked people but changed things for the better
Actually, this advertisement was made well before the movie. After all this was an ad for the first game, they did not make the games based on the movie nor did they make them at the same time. The first games were made before the movie.
I remember when i was 12 bak in 93' n Mortal Kombat 1 came out 4 the home consoles, all the kids n teens were bein obsessed wit gettin the game n doin all the fatalities, ah those were the days were innocence was evident in my life lol
ESRB didn't exist when Mortal Kombat first was released. It was THIS game and Sega CD's Night Trap that led to ESRB and video game ratings be established.
Deceptive in that all the footage shown (except for that first shot of the uppercut inot the Pit) are from the SNES version yet they're advertising all versions this commercial. This deception STILL haven't changed, as Xbox and Xbox 360 gameplay footages are used in ads and packages for the PS2 version RIGHT NOW, which is outright wrong.
what I find funny is that it is the american commerical done in german (Dutch) what ever... there is even a part where it shows the american flag at 23 sec. talk about laziness.
But its German not Dutch, wrong decription
