Mortal Kombat DescriptionA player versus opponent fighting game with digitized character and background graphics. The game was quite controversial when it was released due to the amount of blood and gore it showed during competition. This title also started the infamous "Fatality" trend where the player could perform a special combination of joystick moves and button presses that would violently kill an opponent at the end of a match.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe cabinet houses a 25-inch monitor and uses a black, red and gold color scheme. The side art shows Daniel Pesina as Johnny Cage doing a jumping kick.Cheats, Tricks and BugsOn the fourth stage, "The Pit", look at the moon. If there are shadows flying in front of the moon you can fight Reptile. When the shadows are in front of the moon, you must get a double-flawless victory (two perfects) and do the Fatality without ever hitting block. If you beat Reptile, you will be awarded 10,000,000 points! Note: Reptile only appears in versions 3.0 and 4.0 and can only be fought when playing as either Sonya or Scorpion in version 4.0. His name shows as "Scorpion" but he wears green and can do both Scorpion's spear special move or Sub-Zero's freeze move. He is also extremely difficult to beat.ConversionThe dedicated cabinets are a favorite conversion for Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3 or any other Mortal Kombat series game since most of these use a similar control panel layout.Game IntroductionPlayers choose one of the following fighters: Johnny Cage, Lui Kang, Sonya Blade, Kano, Raiden, Sub Zero, or Scorpion. They fight in a random realm against a human player or the computer. Another human player may jump into a player's game during competition against the computer.Use a series of special moves, including projectiles, to defeat your opponent twice in three rounds of fighting. After defeating your opponent, the fight emcee announces "Finish Him" and you have a couple of seconds to perform a special sequence of joystick positions and button combinations to have your character perform a fatality. Story lines are given for beating Shang Tsung. Game PlayFight one-on-one against other opponents up a tournament ladder until you reach the sub-boss, a four-armed mutant named Goro. After defeating him you go onto fight the boss, Shang Tsung.Every character has a different story line and ending to tell why they got involved in the Mortal Kombat tournament. This game is similar to Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition with blood and gore.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalUses DIP switches or the test mode to set game options. Within the test mode you can review the game's statisics. Some board sets use Midway's T-Unit architecture which is also used on games like NBA Jam.TriviaDuring the fighting scenes that take place on the stone platform above the field of sharp spikes, if you look closely at the glowing moon in the background, you will sometimes see a silhouette fly past it. These shadows will either be Peter Pan and the Darling children, a witch on broomstick, a kite, a blimp, a rocket, a flying saucer, or Santa Claus in his reindeer-pulled sleigh. The shadows appear about every six games.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Mortal Kombat Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Midway.
