Mortal Kombat Gold is a fighting game that was developed by Eurocom and published by Midway Home Entertainment. It was released exclusively on the Sega Dreamcast in 1999 as a launch title in North America and Europe. It is an updated version of the 1997 arcade game Mortal Kombat 4.
Story
Thousands of years ago, the Elder God known as Shinnok attempted to conquer all the realms of the universe. The thunder god Raiden fought and defeated Shinnok in a war that spanned hundreds of years, banishing him to the Netherrealm, where he would be trapped forever. Now, Shinnok has managed to escape from the Netherrealm with help from the sorcerer Quan Chi, and seeks vengeance against the Elder Gods who banished him. He first conquers the realm of Edenia with the aid of a traitor, Tanya, while he prepares to attack the Elder Gods. In order to stop Shinnok's menace, Raiden requests help from the Earthrealm warriors who saved the realms from Emperor Shao Kahn in previous titles.
Gameplay
Gold is essentially the same as Mortal Kombat 4, but adds Kitana, Mileena, Cyrax, Kung Lao, Baraka and Sektor from previous Mortal Kombat games. It also includes three new stages: The Living Forest, The Church, and The Soul Chamber. It also has a new weapon select system.
The player gets a low and high punch, low and high kick, and a block and run button. New to the series is a sidestep move which can be used to avoid projectiles. Also new to the series is a bonebreaker move which can be used up close and is activated by pressing Low Kick. There are interactive objects in some stages such as throwing stones. Combinations of buttons can be used to perform special moves.
Each character is given a weapon which can be wielded with a button combination. If the weapon is dropped it can be used by the other player. By using more button combinations at the end of the round the player can use any of two finishing moves and in certain stages a stage fatality.
Modes
The game has the following modes:
- Arcade:
- Team:
- Endurance:
- Tournament:
- Practice:
Characters
Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, 
and 
should be reversed.
All characters can perform roundhouse kicks with + HK (which knock the opponent across the screen), leg sweeps with + LK (which cause the opponent to fall down), and uppercuts with 
+ HP (which knock the opponent high into the air). When standing next to an opponent, the character can do a throw with LP or do a "bonebreaker" move with LK .
Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. There are two stage-specific Fatalities: the Fan Fatality for the Prison stage and the Spike Fatality for the Goro's Lair stage.
Playable
Sonya Blade, Jax Briggs, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion, and Reptile return from previous Mortal Kombat games. Cyrax, Mileena, Kitana, Kung Lao, and Baraka are returning characters that were added exclusively to Mortal Kombat Gold.
Reiko, Jarek, Tanya, Kai, Shinnok, Fujin, and Quan Chi are new characters introduced in Mortal Kombat 4.
Shinnok is the final boss character. Unlike bosses in previous games, he can be selected to play without the use of a cheat code.

History
Development
An additional character named Belokk was shown in early screenshots from Game Informer but was cut from the final game.[10] According to Ed Boon, Belokk was cut due to time constraints.[11]
Release
The game was criticised upon release for its sub-par graphics. Rather than play to the Dreamcast's strengths, the game was said to look more like the Nintendo 64 port of Mortal Kombat 4.
Like several of Midway's Dreamcast games, the game was re-released with a "Hot! New!" label in North America, fixing many of the game's bugs and adding VMU support, allowing the player to save. As well as the label, the game can be identified by its red-tinted disc.
