A port of Mortal Kombat

The Genesis port of Mortal Kombat had an edge over the SNES version because it didn't have as much as censoring. For it to have a lower age rating, though, the blood is missing by default from the game, but available through the input of a cheat code. This version was given an MA-13 rating by the Videogame Rating Council.

3rd game I ever played. Was way to young to have played this.

Mortal Kombat (1992): Primer sucesor digno de Street Fighter II. La variedad de ataques va justita, pero el realismo para la época y la originalidad de los fatalities son un gran incentivo. A diferencia de SFII, cuesta jugarlo hoy día, pero su relevancia es innegable (6,50)

Arguably the best version of the home ports. I've heard the Jakks Pacific version is remarkably good, but as it came out in 2005 it's very much an afterthought. The Sega CD edition was nicer looking with better music, but was crippled by load times. The less said about the SNES version the better. No, THIS was the cream of the crop. With its tongue in cheek blood and fatality code entered, it was an accurate and gorgeous looking release, the pride of any Megadrive/Genesis owners collection.

The series has come a long way since its original game, and although there are now easily accessible, superior versions of the first, the legend of the Mega Drive/Genesis port will always ring true. The Blood Code has become a fondly remembered piece of gaming history, retaining the kung fu movie flash that made the arcade game an instant success, while also rounding out a very respectable home port that captures the look, feel, and tone of the game. The Sega port even retains character bios! A dated, but vital piece of the MK puzzle.
