This game provided me with my first "fatality" and I've been playing it ever since. Easy enough to manage without the fatalities and easy enough to play without tying your fingers in knots, MK1 was the beginning of a franchise and, as you can see; the series gets better and better. This one has not lost its appeal.

I missed the original Mortal Kombat in arcades, and was introduced to the series through word-of-mouth about how violent the title was. Really if this was the only version I'd played, I would've never gussed what all the hype was about.
Graphics and audio are pretty good, far surpassing what the Genesis version was offering and staying pretty true to the arcade version. Gameplay however, is a failure. Nevermind that the fatalities have been changed and the blood turned to sweat - the actual fighting is stiff and unresponsive, and it feels like the fighters have their feet glued to the floor. The only move that works well here is Scorpion's spear, and it's so smooth in its execution that it becomes the best way of landing cheap hits.
Look at MK objectively: bad controls, less characters than Street Fighter, less moves, a limited number of environments with no background animation (though the Pit idea was rather cool). The first installment was truly one that sold based on the strength of its gore, and on the SNES we're deprived of that as well.
MK fans might or might not want this version for completion purposes (since it looks graphically like the arcade but removes all the violent content). Everyone else should jump to MKII, which really got the series started.

This is what is said when you are victorious. TThis game rocks this game started it all. I think if Mortal Kombat wasn't envented there would be no good fighting games out there. This Game rocks.
If you liked the game then check out all of the other MK games, Movies, Books or cd's out there.

If you say this game is bad then your nut's. Surew it doesn't have any blood in the SNES version but who cares. This game started it all! I prefer blood in it but I can go without it. If you say this game is stupid it's like saying every MK and other fighting games are stupid. MK is the mother of all fighting games and deserves a good review. It has good graphics, cool characters,and bloody fatalities. This game was a legend in it's time. If you would like to know about any of my other reviews just look for my logoat the top or botoomof the review.OUT!

Rating: - One of the best nintendo fighting games ever created!
You can play two player on it, it's not bloody at all when it's for SNES. (Don't listen to the other reviews.) The only bad things in it are: Teeth flying out of the mouth, and some scary images. This game reminds me Tekken, but it probably took the same game format. If you enjoy really good fighting games like, Altered Beast, Tekken, Soul Blade, Soul Calibur 1+2, Golden Axe. Then this is the game for you!
