It was a quarter of a century ago that a game studio's plans to create a game starring Jean Claude Van Damme vaguely inspired by his movie Bloodsport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PH0XQfAVc0 using their process of rendering videogame sprites from digital photos fell through, and the subsequent title they produced in its place became the most infamous videogame of all time!



Here's some kool links to get you in the Kombat mood:

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The extreme violence of Mortal Kombat always turned me off.

Pretty fun games but broken at the competitive level. If you've only ever played the console version try and give the arcade ones a go. I remember being surprised by how much bigger and smoother the sprites were. Better sound too.

I spent hours as a kid trying to pull off those sick fatalities, trying to memorize those dumb combos like up up up down up left down up right a down b up hold left for two seconds l r left up all within 2.2 seconds, but I could never pull it off. Then one time I literally just mashed buttons and got a fatality so to this day I am convinced it was all a hoax and poo poo's just random.
