@kadosho02 3 года назад

MK is a vital part of the fighting game legacy. There is something special within the game, a variety of kharacters, and their journey. And it is totally optional if you want to use Fatalities at the end. Even now it's expanded with the same koncept, with just as much dynamic graphics & visuals. 🤔And when games Krossed paths with other media. Things were messy. But the age rating system definitely changed the way titles were marketed (and still has games in limbo) Konsole ports were impressive. We had come a long way, and it was only the beginning 😎 excellent video sir! MK II coverage?! Totally! Yes!

I (and many) grew up with like movies like Robocop, Predator, Nightmare On Elm, Friday The 13th... Mortal Kombat didn't even come close to the violence and gore compared to what myself (and many) were already use to when it come to home entertainment. The drama of Mortal Kombat was nothing but laughable and ended up being free advertisement for the game.

This video really brings back memories. What a fond era in my life. I'll never forget seeing Mortal Kombat for the first time. It was at an arcade in a hotel we were staying at. The game terrified me! I had never seen anything so hard core. I LOVED it, and followed religiously until MK4. I knew the franchise was done for, once the characters had switched to polygons. It just lost its charm. I never really went back. I think MK2 was the best Mortal Kombat. MK3 felt unfinished. I'd definitely love to see a follow up of MK2... but when are you going to talk about the Real Bout Fatal Fury series? Thank you Top Hat for this upload.

@stoltobot 3 года назад

Kids of the 80s and 90s up until about MK2 had plenty of ‘auxiliary marketing’ of R rated movies and supposedly mature targeted content, such as cartoons of Rambo, video games of Predator, and action figures of Aliens. Of course kids were consuming this content, and we grew up fine, but now I feel sorry for the kids growing up wrapped in cotton wool. I bought a manga for my niece when she visited Japan and her mother wouldn’t let her read it due to it having “content inappropriate for children”. It was a kids book, but parents have been brainwashed into being overly sensitive to exposing their children to any ideas outside of Disney cuteness and happy endings, and in a self fulfilling prophecy kids are growing up to be too sensitive to deal with adult life. The next manga I bought for her, I sent it to my parents house so she can read it when she goes to Nan and Pop’s place.

@EpicLebaneseNerd 3 года назад

i remember how amazed i was in the arcade, sadly all the big kids were hogging the machine so we rarely could play it , but one day, my cousins got a megadrive and i got them MK for it since i was the eldest and could purchase it for them since i was 13 , story goes that on 1 sunday morning, my uncle came over for breakfast and he was furious...and he told me dad ''did u know what ur son got my kids ? he got them a game where a blue ninja removes the head of the other people and u could see the spine tangling from it, what kind of blasphemy is this ?'' man, it was one hell of a breakfast.......also, i was the only one in the family who could pull off the DULLARD code for it , so my cousins would be super excited when i dropped by to activate the code and play the game with the gore.....it was fun times, so simple and so happy. i on the other hand got stuck with the snes version, sure, cousins were amazed how better looking it was, but no blood, i had to wait until i got the DOS version to get the full experience at home. p.s : TOP DADDY BIG HAT HERE....PRICELESS!

@BeB02090 3 года назад

Hello all. Thank you good sir for covering Mortal Kombat! I remember the first time (high school), hearing the infamous Scorpion growling "Get Over Here" I quickly honed in on the location of the sound to find a line of about eight people waiting to beat the stuffing out of each other. It appeared as if the whole arcade just stopped and all eyes went on the two MK cabinets. I will never forget the first time I saw the screen turn dark grey/black and the words in dripping blood appeared "FINISH HIM" For a split second the place went dead (no pun intended haha) silent as Kano ripped the heart of Jonny Cage. I was both in shock and awe. I left that night thinking what the frog legs did I just see. Wow.

Joe Leiberman was RIGHT!" before jumping into battle with her best friend, attempting to snap him back to his true personality.
