I always have admired their job in this game, not because of the game itself, but because they seem like having a lot of fun while making it, and that is just great

Those times when people had passion in what they were doing:) Nostalgia

I’ve met Daniel Pesina, John Parrish, Anthony Marquez, and Phillip Ahn at C2E2 Comic Con and got their autographs.

Hands down my favorite MK game. The perfect franchise that started at the perfect time. For a time there MK was the king of the arcade. How I wish NetherRealm would consider resurrecting their cancelled MK HD Remake.

Some fans have created a mugen game based on it called *"MK II remix"* which is super great. They take everything good from the original, and add some more awesome stuff without make it bloat and convoluted like many other MK mugens. It's a very polished and well made mugen. I can't stop playing it. 🥰

These production photos just make me super emotional for some reason. It's just cool to have so many cool moments frozen in time from a period where Mortal Kombat ruled the fucking earth. Now that we're sort of in a new Mortal Kombat renaissance it's rather special to revisit these early moments that may have previously been taken for granted. I love the new games, but MK2 is a no holds barred all time classic.

I wish they still made the games this way. It's funny too how the man who played Shao Kahn was such a short arse.

The photos seen in this video came from an issue of EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly). I still have that issue (and many others) in storage. I can’t remember what month/issue/ year said issue of EGM had this coverage (old age and all that), but I remember the front cover of the magazine as clear as day: it has a dark cover with Barack, Kung Lao, etc, standing in front of the Mortal Kombat symbol. As a young teen, I must have read that issue a hundred times while waiting impatiently for MK II to appear at my local arcade. Ah yes, those were the days!! ☺️❤️
