As a teenage Genesis owner I remember going over my friends house who had it on his SNES and always bragging about how Genesis version had the blood code, but the whole time in my head I was like "why are the graphics and sound so much better on this version?" I ended up getting SNES for Christmas the following year and the MKII release was a top 5 moment in my gaming lifetime. Awesome memories of having tournaments with friends. 🐉

You can blame Probe for that. Come MK 3, Sculptured Software, who did all 3 MK SNES games, was commisioned to do the Genesis version of MK3, and finally a good version of MK came out on the Genesis that played right, and had actual speech in it, and a good amount of it too.

I remember when my pops bought this game for me. There was this Toys R Us store that sold the game WEEKS before the release date. I was playing that game like crazy. My cousin called me while I was playing the game one day. I guess he heard the sounds from the game through the phone. He asked me what game was playing and I told him Mortal Kombat. He was like ooooo how the hell did you get that game so early. Don’t worry about. 😂😂😂 He was so mad

Opponent: "You will die!" Sub-Zero: "Haha, leg sweep go brrrr"

Wow, the sound quality and music is so much better than the Sega version.

Thanks for posting this - the original MK1 had such a uniquely dark and creepy atmosphere that even the sequel never fully recaptured IMO (MK2 was a little too fantastical and over-the-top by comparison). Sub-Zero was probably my favorite character in the original MK1 - it pissed me off that MK2 invented a "storyline" where his character had died in the first game and was replaced by a more "sensitive" younger brother.

The lack of blood is the least of this port’s problems. The controls are horribly laggy, the endurance levels are super frustrating, Goro and Shang Tsung are way too easy and your projectiles actually disappear when you get hit, which makes absolutely no sense and is really annoying. The Genesis port is far superior.

@@HolyRomanEmperor90 The Genesis port is piss easy, Tsung and Goro are a cinch, Reptile is easy as pie, and the game overall is ugly as sin. First time I saw the game when my friend got his Babbages pre-order in, we played it all night, but I couldn't help but to think to myself the entire time, how ugly the game was, and how little blood came out of the opponent when you fatalitied them. Plus the music was all wrong, at least the SNES version had the correct arcade music, nice and dark, didn't sound like Tsung's Island was hosting a dance party (Furniss rarely wrote the proper music for arcade ports he did, which took a huge chunk out of the experience of playing those games). At least in MK3, he wasn't involved, and the port got the proper music that time, in the proper places they belonged in. All in all, MK1 on Genesis disappointed the shit out of me, and outside of no blood, the SNES port impressed me by keeping the atmosphere of the arcade game, with the proper music where it belonged.

I do prefer the SNES version for the graphics. It is ashame they censored it, but I do like Sub Zero's alternate fatality here and Raiden's as well. Johnny Cage and Kano's fatalities however, don't get me started. They could have done so much better. They were going to use a head snap fatality where they twist it backwards for Johnny Cage, but they still thought it was graphic even without the blood. So, they went with the kick through the chest which is a joke.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a fan hack with with blood and Kano, Johnny finishing moves added back in. And with the response time adjusted. The Genesis version has gotten several updates.

I don't take sides in this SNES vs Genesis thing, as I wasn't even alive during the whole "console war" or whatever, and I played both versions. My take is that the SNES version felt slightly delayed, it isn't major but it's very noticeable and a little irritating. Genesis version has better controls (assuming you are using a 6 button controller). The reality is that Genesis didn't shine in the Graphics nor Sounds compartment, but it did in controls (unless you are using a 3 button) and the signature violence that Mortal Kombat is known for. Which version you think is better is up to you, but you cannot deny that the controls were a just a little bit laggy.

How much points do you get if you were able to destroy the steel plate?

Nintendo figured it's okay to kill someone in the game just so long as there was no blood or gore. That makes sense. They should have just left the game uncensored and even with the control lag it still would have had a chance at outselling the Genesis version.

Graphics are Very close To The arcade, but its censored. If it werent censured it Would have been The best port
