Arcade Longplay [050] Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat is a seminal 1992 side-scrolling fighting game where you engage in one-on-one combat using punches, kicks, and special moves. The story pits seven Earth martial artists against Outworld forces in a secret tournament to prevent Earth's takeover by the sorcerer Shang Tsung and his champion, Goro. Its distinctive feature is the "Fatality," a unique, graphically violent finishing move available upon winning the final round. This main game experience focuses purely on mastering the core roster and competitive mechanics established at launch.
