Episode 8: Mortal Kombat 30th Anniversary (Genesis/SNES)

Prepare yourself! The original Mortal Kombat ports were released on September 13th, 1993 and in this episode Deucy and I celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the series and compare the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis versions. We talk about the development and release of the arcade, how fatalities were introduced, the origins of the mysterious and hidden green ninja Reptile, the GameGear and GameBoy ports, and which version we prefer. We dive into the history of the iconic blood code and how the ESRB ratings system was created because U.S. Congress was upset about video game violence! Mortal Kombat has cemented its legacy into gaming history and we had a lot of fun talking about our memories - you might be surprised that one of us thinks the SNES version is better! There is no knowledge that is not power so join us as we immerse ourselves in 30 years of MORTAL KOMBAT! . . . Send us a note!
