In 1992 I hardly had any time for any other game coming out that year. Most of my time was spent playing this game. I can count the times that I beat this game and did every fatality. You get to play as seven characters. All of which have their own special moves. Any MK fan already knows the story and how this game started the ratings systems for games.
One of this games biggest selling points is it's violence. As mentioned above it started the ratings systems for games today, because it was one of the most violent games for it's time. Thankfully the controversy surrounding it only made it more popular as it does with most controversial games.
Another thing that made this game so different from the rest of the fighting games was that the characters were real people digitized into the video game. The series would stay that way up until Mortal Kombat 3.
