The premiere of the new film directed by Simon McQuoid gives us the awesome chance to take a closer look at the cult fighting game developed by Midway in 1992.

It was then that Mortal Kombat gifted us with the ability to take part in a bloody tournament, where the prize wasn’t money or fame - it was saving the world!

Did you know?
· Although Mortal Kombat became a cult classic that spawned numerous sequels and adaptations, its beginnings were quite humble. The game’s original development team consisted of… 4 people. Even with only 4 people, they were able to create the game in 10 months!
· The game’s original concept was to create a title starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Knowing that, it should be no surprise that the Johnny Cage character bares a striking resemblance to the famous Belgian, and even performs his famous nut-cracking blow from Bloodsport.
· There are a number of stories explaining why Mortal Kombat is spelled with a “K” instead of “C”. Ed Boon, one of the game’s main creators, claims that the title was invented by accident, during one of the creative brainstorms.



The Adaptations
Mortal Kombat was one of the first video games to become a multimedia franchise and its film adaptation from 1995 (directed by Paul W. S. Anderson) garnered praise among fans. Now, the new Mortal Kombat film that premieres today, will have large boots to fill.

Check out the differences between the new trailer and the original trailer for the 1995 film here:

Yes! That's exactly what we need. I still haven't decide if I want to try MK4 (looks ugly, never played; not to say anything about all the sequels), but MK Trilogy released here would be awesome!

Next time you advertise something, make sure you get something in return...something along the lines of a game to release for example. ;)

As others have said, there's no new games to go with this.

Every time you do something like this, an article about a long standing franchise or a publisher/franchise sale its always a painful reminder that GoG is treated as a 2nd class platform by some publishers and that we are missing out on so many great games.

https://www.gog.com/game/mortal_kombat_123 is the terrible DOS port of those games.

There are much better ports of those games that should be on GOG instead of that one.
