it's real sad the bad reviews this game gets..sure it's old and looks like crap compared by today's game standards but when this game came out in 1992 it was WAY ahead of it's time and a huge profitable franchise began...the only thing i dont like about this game is no blood in it..the genesis version does have blood if you enter a code in it.. but other than that this is an aweasome game which i still play to this day never gets old for me

ANY VIDEO GAME FAN HAS PLAYED THIS GAME AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME REALLY RESEMBLES THE ORIGINAL ARCADE VERSION FOR THIS GAME, THE FATALITIES AND THE GORE [WHICH WAS CONTROVERSIAL AT THE TIME AND CAUSED ALL VIDEO GAMES TO HAVE RATING LABELS ON THEM] ARE MISSING! SO THAT MEANS AFTER THE FIGHTS ARE OVER, NO FATALITIES, ALL YOU CAN DO IS FINISH YOUR OPPONENT OFF WITH A REGULAR MOVE. BUT, EVEN WITH THE FACT THAT IS A TAMED VERSION OF THE ARCADE FAVORITE, I STILL ENJOYED THIS GAME! THERE'S 7 CHARACTERS TO CHOOSE FROM, WHICH ARE LIU KANG, KATO, JOHNNY CAGE, RAIDEN, SCORPION, SUB ZERO, AND SONYA. THE GAME IS FILLED WITH GREAT GRAPHICS AND EASY TO LEARN GAMEPLAY. THE BEST CHARACTERS TO PLAY WITH ARE SUB ZERO, SCORPION, AND RAIDEN. THIS WAS STILL A FUN GAME AND IF YOU WANNA ADD ONE OF THE GREATEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER MADE TO YOUR VIDEO GAME COLLECTION, GET THIS GAME WHEREVER YOU CAN FIND A COPY OF IT!! VERSIONS TO AVOID; SEGA GENESIS, GAME BOY, AND GAME GEAR.

When Mortal Kombat 1 was released on the arcades nearly a decade ago, it immediately became a HUGE hit. It was so realistic, and the hand-to-hand combat style was so extreme. The game also centered around controversy due to the incredibly unique violent content. Fans anxiously awaited for the game's arrival on home video game consoles. When it was released to the Super Nintendo, fans wasted no time purchasing it. However, the happy fans were quickly disappointed when they discovered Mortal Kombat to be edited. Thanks to Acclaim and Nintendo, this game has NO blood & guts! The fatalities are edited and toned down. The blood has been changed to sweat. MK fans were ripped off and very angry about the censorship in the game. At least the Sega Genesis version of MK had a blood code. The Super Nintendo version plays a lot like the arcade hit. The graphics, sound, music, and animation play equivelant to the arcade. But without the bloody violence and original fatalities, it's just not the same. This is still an okay fighting game though, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one. Too bad it's so old. I could do without it. MK II and MK III are a heck of a lot better. Don't waste your money on this. Rent it if you can.

Mortal Kombat was really weak on the SNES because it was so censored. No blood, some people had different fatalities (ex: Johnny Cage's foot in your stomach). Blood was traded for sweat (?!?!) and because of those 2 reasons, the game was truly brought down a notch.
Yes it's still a classic but it's not worth it on SNES. You're better off getting it on the SEGA system because that way you could overcome the censorship and at least put in a "blood code".
Personally, I'd skip this one anyday and go straight to MK II because that was just all out better than MK and it was a lot more enjoyable, had better replay and a lot more characters. Trust me, skip MK on SNES and go straight for MK II on SNES.

This features a totally different button configuration that people were used to with Street Fighter 2 games. It also offers some very intense fighting with blood, bone breaking moves and a single fatality for each of the seven kombatants. You play as Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Sonya Blade, Kano, Rayden and Johnny Cage, and fight your way up through a ladder tournament. Eventually fighting in a handicapped match against two people (one after the other), and working your way to the boss Shang Tsung who can take the form of anyone! However infront of Tsung awaits the four armed 8 foot tall bodyguard known as Goro, who is the biggest challenge of the game. Good luck! A huge downfall of the game for the SNES and Sega is that there are no fatalities, instead you need a special code to enable them.
