Mortal Kombat was, is, and always will be that title that will delight fans of gore
and shock your grandma! The series is a side view perspective fighter. The graphics
are all real actors that have posed in various positions. Kicks, punches, headbutts
and general fighting stances. The photo's were then taken and converted into a
sprite for the game. The sequence of photo's made the fighters look like they were
really fighting. For the time, this was cutting edge technology! Mortal Kombat
was perceived as the most violent video game created. Words like "Demented" and
"Sick!" were used when discussed at a conference about the level of violence.
The game was so violent, a Congressional hearing was held. The message was simple.
The video games industry had to come up with a way to filter these games so minors
could not play them. There-for, the ESRB rating system was born! Mortal Kombat is
a bloody, gory and twisted fighting game that has gamers screaming for more each
time!
Trivia
Ermac is now a full character since boon decided to add him back in UMK3.
Ermac was rumoured to be born from a glitch on the Se ga version of the original MK.
When choosing scorpion, it was said sometimes an error would pop up saying "Error Macro".
This was what created Ermac. Error Macro -> Ermac. The "Glitch" was always disproved by
many people, but many still said it was true. Ed Boon decided "You know what? They want
him, let's make him". Due to a fake glitch, an awesome character was born. Thanks internet
dwellers!
When doing certain moves, a man will pop up in the bottom right corner of the
screen and shout "Toasty!".
The man you see is Dan Forden, the lead sound designer of the game.
It started as an inside joke. Mortal Kombat 2II was the first of the series
to feature dan's now famous toasty.
In The 2011 version of Mortal Kombat, an Extra player was released as DLC.
Did you know she was in the classic games? Scarlet was actually a colour
palette glitch. By switching between Kitana and Jade at the right time,
you can glitch the colours and have a red suit. She was known by gamers
as Scarlett. The spelling was changed in the 2011 release
