Advantages: Death moves are awesome

Disadvantages: Bit dated

I remember when this game first came out in the 1990's it caused a lot of controversy with its violence. It is a 2D beat-em-up featuring characters digitized from real people.

It is quite a simple game and only features 7 playable characters ranging from standard martial artists right through to ninjas and even a god.

The main draw of Mortal Kombat is its fatalities. The characters each have a fatality or death move. When you beat your opponent on his second round they'll stand stunned for about 10 seconds and the words finish him will flash up on the screen and from here you can perform a combination of button presses to finish your opponent off.

These death moves include ripping your opponents heart out and tearing their head off, the DailyMail would have a field day with this one.

Although a bit dated now it stills stand the test of time, I was a big fan of the Amiga version because this version wasn't censored like the SNES and Megadrive versions of the game.

Summary: Certainly worth having in your collection
