Legends. It’s a shame that none of them became famous, but the Kardashians did.

That's so cool that all the movement was done by real humans!

The good old days with Mortal Kombat 🖤

That uppercut always hit so hard. Effortless, and cold, mockingly effective.

Mortal Kombat is a landmark franchise for the video game industry. Not only did it push the boundaries of what is acceptable in interactive media in the '90s, but the series has continued innovating and evolving the fighting-game genre with high-quality cinematic story modes, new approaches to post-launch support, and a continued desire to push the limits of what can be done in the genre. 🌍🌍🌍🌍

The original "Mortal Kombat" video game, released in 1992, was a groundbreaking title in many ways, most notably for its realistic graphics and its use of digitized actors to portray the game's characters. However, it was also highly controversial due to its graphic depictions of violence and its introduction of "Fatalities" – finishing moves that allowed players to execute their defeated opponents in various gruesome manners. This explicit content sparked widespread public concern, particularly among parents and advocacy groups. Politicians and the media debated the potential effects of such violent imagery on young players. As a result, "Mortal Kombat" played a significant role in the establishment of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in 1994, a system devised to provide content ratings for video games and guide consumers in their purchasing decisions.
