'''Mortal Kombat''' is an infamous arcade game that was a developed by Midway in response to Capcom's successful [[Street Fighter II]]. It used a different kind of fighting system from Street Fighter's formula; the buttons were laid out in an "X" pattern with high punch, low punch, high kick, low kick, and block buttons along with an eight-way joystick. The game also introduced the concept of juggles, or the ability to attack the opponent while he or she is still in mid-air. One of the most famous (and notorious) features was the ''fatality'', a finishing move executed on a defeated opponent in a gruesome fashion. | '''Mortal Kombat''' is an infamous arcade game that was a developed by Midway in response to Capcom's successful [[Street Fighter II]].

The game features seven playable characters, all of whom are unique in their own way, with different special moves and fighting styles. Unlike Street Fighter II, each fighter shares a common pool of regular moves (e.g. down and high punch performs an uppercut for every character.) Once the player chooses a character, he or she must face seven other combatants (including yourself) until they reach three endurance matches (which is a handicap match, or two against one) and the two bosses (a sub-boss named Goro and the final boss: Shang Tsung). | The game features seven playable characters, all of whom are unique in their own way, with different special moves and fighting styles.
