Mortal Kombat (モータルコンバット) was a revolutionary fighting game developed by Midway. It utilised digitized graphics and a high amount of violence to stand out from the crowd.

Gameplay

When using the 6 button controller all characters have punches and kicks that can either be aimed high or low, and a block button. The three button controller reduces the amount of available moves. Combinations of buttons can be used to perform special moves such as projectiles, throws, and other special attacks. After a set number of matches players can play a minigame called "Test Your Might" and break objects by rapidly tapping buttons to raise a stamina bar, then pressing block to launch the attack. At the end of a match, players can use a finishing move which kills their opponent in various ways. By default violent finishing moves are censored and blood is disabled. By entering a special code blood will be enabled and some finishing moves will be more graphic.
