Mortal Kombat (1993)

Sorcerer Shang Tsung from the name sharpened his teeth on the souls of the inhabitants of our world. He lacked only one thing for his desired goal, i.e. complete subjugation of the Earth - ten victories in the mythical Mortal Kombat tournament. Only in this way could he fulfill his evil intentions. For now it was going well, after all, his champion - Prince Goro, spread his opponents to shreds for the next nine generations. Mortals, however, have nothing to lose anymore. If they don't succeed in winning and preventing enemy plans, their souls will forever become Shang Tsung's slaves.

There are seven warriors to choose from: Liu Kang, Rayden, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya, Kano and Johnny Cage. Each of them has a basic set of strokes, which in combination with directional keys guarantee a variety of attacks. In addition, the authors have implemented a whole series of special blows, which can be done after entering a specific sequence of moves. They are much more effective than traditional blows, but on the other hand, blocking them can be disastrous for the attacker. Each duel takes place in up to two winning rounds. Afterwards, a fatal blow can be made, which will take care of the opponent for good. In addition to the characters mentioned at the beginning, the player will also have to deal with Prince Goro and the Shang Tsung himself, who can turn into other warriors.
