I remember that when I was a little kid one of the coolest things to have was a super Nintendo, and that year my cousin got one for Christmas. So when we all went over to see him me and my sisters went back to his room to see what games he had, and the one that really stuck out to us was a game called mortal kombat. So we stared to play it and this had to be the bloodiest game I had ever seen but it was so cool. When my mom came to get us she was shocked that we were playing such a violent game. In fact many people felt the same way about the game.
Mortal Kombat was created in 1992 by Ed Boon and John Tobias as a quick project they wanted to do and was made to be like street fighters. The first version of this game was on an arcade machine, but was censored by making the blood gray to try and pass it off as sweat so that it would be more kid friendly.
With the popularity of the game they were asked to make Mortal Kombat 2 in 1993. With this one they added a few more characters and a lot more blood. After this one came out they started to make merchandise for the game. You could by anything such as a lunch box, shirts, action figures, and many other things.
In 95 they made Mortal Kombat 3. This one came with even more new characters and a cool new combo system. With the popularity of the game building up fast Hollywood decided they would get in on it and make a movie on it. It eventually made millions of dollars.
Mortal Kombat 4 was made in 1997. This one was made with new 3D graphics and even more blood. With this one they took it on tour. A lot a controversy was brought up when this one was released. It wasn’t the most violent game out on the market but it was one of the most popular. All over the country news reporters were talking about how this kind of violent game can lead to kid becoming violent as well but even with all this it was still extremely popular. This was going to be the last one released on arcade machines
In 2002 Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was made. This game was the hardest one to make and was the first to use computerized characters. All of the movement in this was made with motion detectors to record the actor’s movement and to be more realistic.
Over the years mortal kombat has made over 12 different versions of the game and some type is on almost every game system available. As you can tell the game is best known for its use of blood, characters, and ending moves in all of the games you can do special moves at the end of a match, these moves are called fatalities. Fatalities were moves that were even more violent and some times more gruesome than regular game play. It’s the one thing you always tried to get. In other versions they added moves such as animality and brutality. They also added friendship and babality as a way of mocking the people that said they were too violent.
In my opinion this is the best fighting game that you can get and it is really fun and bloody. |
