Nassim Azzam MK1 has darker distorted FM frequency modulation giving MK1 that unique aura modern MKs terribly lack. Also the voices have distorted reverbs giving the game a much darker demonic feel where modern MKs is just a regular voice. Also real actors compared to computer graphics theres no comparison real will always win. Theres no comparison MK1-3 are the Holy Grails where every modern MK looks like a cheap cartoon.
Kevin Alvarado better graphics than actual human actors? I think not. But it’s the feeling overall. This captures that MK vibe. New mk11 is cool but it’s like the people who worked on it didn’t even know about mk before.
When I was 9 back in 2012 a guy challenged my dad at our local movie theater. My dad played scorpion and the gut played sub zero. It was a pretty close fight but my dad got the better of him and also pulled a fatality. They shook hands and we went to watch our movie. I'll never forget that and I'll never forget my dad RIP.
The game that changed video game history, and invented the rating system! When I watched the new Mortal Kombat 11, it shows that this franchise sure has come a long way... No matter how many years has passed, Scorpion will always be my older brother's favorite character.
@@Aldox2 Indeed. Doom, MK, Night Trap on Sega CD. Was a cluster of games that got the attention in a span of a 1-2 years back then. I still have my copy of grand theft auto 1 on the original playstation and that actually had a parental advisory explicit lyrics icon like a music CD would have. Always cracked me up.
I remember hanging out at the arcade when this came out with a HUGE crowd of kids gathered around the machine with the best players daring others to match them.
I'm about to "gush" all over this. Man the very first time I played this at a comic book shop that had the arcade machine (not to hate on the newer generations it's not your fault, but you will never truly understand the true beauty of what it felt like to play in an actual arcade back in that era) it was an instant addiction. The graphics, the sound, the dark martial arts element and atmosphere. The gore, the uniqueness of each character, the storyline. The stages and the music, and of course Scorpion and fucking Sub-Zero. By today's standards this is ancient. Today we have the most visually stunning and just outstanding videos games like never before. But THIS diamond of a game will forever be etched in my mind as one of the greatest in HISTORY. This is a game that I will never ever get bored of. And not to mention when the genius minds behind this franchise created part 2. That's when my sanity disappeared.
So ahead of its time for coming out in 1992. I remember being 13 years old and playing this repeatedly on my PC. I also remember my mom hating the violence but my dad got a kick out of it. This video brings me back. Especially that Scorpion vs Sub-Zero fight.
Scorpions story is so sad... imagine getting a second chance, being able to return from death to avenge your enemies but not being able to know your family. Chokes me up a little.
If you think that's bad, you should check the MK10 prequel comic. Dude finally escapes Hell, regains his humanity, forms his own school which is his second family.. only for them all to be slaughtered in their sleep by a demon. Dude can never catch a break.
I know right he had his whole clan massacred no wonder he wants revenge. Except for maybe he should have mad sure it was the right sub zero before ripping his spine out...
@Quetzalok because there are 2 subzeros and kuai lang took on bi Hans code name "Sub-Zero" then became the new "Sub-Zero" as Bi Han is a revenant as Noon Saibot and his friend became a cyborg known as smokes because the master lin quei wanted his ninjas such as smokes cyrax and sektor to be perfected 😂 I'm a die hard mk fan so before you jump to assumptions I simply asked him which Sub-Zero was killed out of revenant vengance for the set up of Bi Han before he became a revenant servant of shinnok as Hanzo Hasashi was brought back and also killed by Quan chi himself
Goro popping up out of nowhere after the end of the third endurance is a stroke of genius. He is really close to you and can attack you first which makes him a bit more menacing.
Precious memories!! I can remember as a child my cousins playing this game for hours and hours. This is where it all began. Who would've ever thought we would see Mortal Kombat X?
It blows my mind to think that this was done in 1992....many games today don't reach this level of quality, this was revolutionary back then.....they only used 8 megabytes of graphics data for the arcade version. I had this game on my Amiga 1200.....good memories!!
Dimitri Lalla MrDelplaya is right, you are just being butthurt. The new generation play more agressive and more IQ destroying games, hence they are more fucked up, like u.
Preston Simms yar, compare to just burn out to shoot a fire ball, make a hole in your chest then your heart drop to the middle of that hole? Dam that cause nausea
This was the golden era of video games. First was Street Fighter and then came MK which was more gory which parents at the time hated then came Tekken for Playstation.
This is still one of my favorite games from my childhood. Damn i miss the 90s, games were simple and fun. I spent hours playing mortal Kombat Sega with my brother. Bastard always one the match. Guess that was the perk of being the older brother lol.
Where it all began! I was in like 5th grade when this dropped. I remember it being all of the news the blood in games and the psychological effects, my parents tried to tell me I cant have it etc...lol. My how times have changed!
Yeah now it's more like "We don't wanna make you feel left out, Timmy, we know you're only 8, but you should be as cool as the other kids, we think, so we got you MKX just like you wanted"
acidbath32 Well... Actually I also played MK2 when I was like 8... I guess I'm just normal and contained, and it didn't damage my psyche, the blood and everything. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe violence in games and movies doesn't damage children's psyche. Or does it?
Shang Tsung was originally meant to be an old man with a bunch of magic powers, but they didn't have enough memory for the animations. So instead they did all the transformations.

Midway made some of the greatest games of all time. They truly didn't care what the public thought of them. And that is what made them my favorite game company. R.I.P Midway Games 1988-2010
the sound design and art was fantastic in this game. Not just for the great music but also for details like hearing Goro roar in the midle of 3rd endurance fight..like anouncing himself....Imagine kids back in 92/93 facing it for the first time and the tension as they are not aware of what is about to come (or may be if they remember goro photo while running demo)! Genious!
The long lines formed, just to play this game were no joke. The local skating ring’s Mortal Kombat Arcade had more of a human presence than the actual skating ring itself. This game was a Greatest Hit masterpiece, along with Street Fighter II during it’s time.
I don’t think it’s merely nostalgia, it probably is, but there is just something so unique and special about this game that was never duplicated. It’s all just so mysterious and strange without all the lore.
It feels really great to see the first game i've ever played when i was a kid. I am all into the MK theme song from 1993. This is indeed no game, this is a piece of (my) history.
I was in like 1st or 2nd grade when this came out. Funny thing was my parents knew about the game and didn't want me playing it until i showed them the Sega version had "no blood" in it 😏😏😏
This game was such a big deal when it came out. Remember going to the arcade all the time to play it! They had 2 Mortal Kombat machines, one regular cabinet and one that was huge projected on a screen! I was pretty good and could beat beginners easy using scorpion, Kano and sometimes Lu Kang. My brother in law was ridiculously good & beat it on a few occasions. Lots of competition in the arcade. That's something we just don't have anymore! A place where people went to get away and really interacted. At that time arcades were dying out and this was the last period (in my opinion) where people would still go. The consoles were pretty close in gameplay and graphics (SNES, although not having the gore was a spot on port unlike genisis version) but the arcades were just a step ahead enough to draw people in. Competition games like street fighter also were pretty huge...infact it almost seems like Street Fighter paved the way
i wish we still had arcades like that. arcades are not even 1/100th as social as they used to be, and the games dont draw any attention. where i live, the only arcade in the area has some really boring games, barely any 2 player ones let alone PvP fighting games, and some of the games are literally just mobile games. there are entire cabinets dedicated to playing flappy bird and various flappy bird knockoffs on a screen the size of a single big PC monitor. it sucks lmao :(
Bruh. For as long as I live, I will never forget seeing MK1 for the first time in 1992 at the local convenience store. Shit was maaad. I guess I still come back and watch these vids to try and relive that a little. Thanks for uploading arcadegamesfreak!
Or making good games without making too much cinematics or lazy stories,or the 70% are pure boring dialogue gameplay with branch options I love Sony so much,but i want to take back when the games was pure action and gameplay,no pure cinematics and dialogues
I still think this is the best MK game. Graphis hold up surprisingly well for being 26 years old. But I remember when this came out, the media was running stories saying if kids played it, it'd turn them into serial killers. Playing it would lead to irreparable psychological damage. Seriously, the media went nuts over this game. It's hilarious in hindsight, though a lot of adults I knew took the media at face value on this one.
Nesse jogo os lutadores são assassinados no final da luta, a diferença do GTA é que lá muita gente de bem é alvo, policiais, pedestres e outros.@@XXtheJUMPoffXX
I remember I was like 4 when I found out about MK and I asked my Dad for it, and with no questions asked he bought it and when Goro dropped from the sky I threw my controller at the screen😂🤣 haha.
Actually is because of the difference between the sonoplastics sounds, the player 1 is different, it's sounds like he is suffering more when he gets a hit
Years ago there was so much pride and arrogance surrounding this game. I came into it from Street Fighter, but got destroyed. Me and friend eventually got to a level where it was a quest around south Florida to see who could beat us. Some guy said, go to Grand Prix and you will get whipped. Nobody beat us there. Played at a mall in coral springs, where nobody could touch us. However, there was this asian guy who actually did tae kwon do that was rumored to play real well, but I never got to play him. By the game designer's strategy description, I possibly figured out close the ideal strategy; using the crouching low kick to move in on guys, and also defeats jump kick of people who get past the uppercut. Favorite combo was Johnny Cage >> High punch, jump punch, jump punch, jump kick. Weird to think I put so much effort into that game.
I remember the Super Nintendo version and it having no blood. Lol I was so envious of the kids who played it on SEGA. I remember beating goro for the first time and jumping in excitement only do get destroyed by Shang Tsung. I never did it beat it... Interesting to see what happens over 20 years later.
@@rsalek What's more interesting is that MK2 gives Sub-Zero a 2-part fatality, the one ironically used in the SNES version of MK1 that was SFW by Nintendo standards.
There was only one time when me and my cousin played in a 2 player match and a small rare thing has happened that nobody has ever seen before. We actually both knocked each other down at the same time and it seriously said “DRAW” at the end of the round.
The close combat in this game was the best part, it feels like real life. Opponents are not thrown so easily like in modern games, so block and trying to attack was more difficult.
Unfortunately 🤷🏻♀️ (you all take video games too seriously. They’re not a primer on how to navigate the real world. I’m just saying! Gods on the throne and you’re all still playing mortal kombat in your personal lives. And just FYI this is exactly the wrong place from which to learn how to treat the female of the species) It’s just a video game. Get real or you won’t survive, you will lose out on eternal life - John 4:16…
I always loved how at the end, when the "cast of characters" come out on screen, they each get a cheesy round of applause as they make their big entrance. Except for Kano, who get's an awkward silence. I remember when playing this is a kid being really sagely understanding of that - it because he's a BADDY
Hard to believe this game is over 30 yrs old now. Back when I first came across this game I thought it looked amazing. Do you even remember what 1992 was like compared to today? Very, very different place.

But It's still a game

I love Sony so much,but i want to take back when the games was pure action and gameplay,no pure cinematics and dialogues
It still looks so pretty
I still think this is the best MK game. Graphis hold up surprisingly well for being 26 years old. But I remember when this came out, the media was running stories saying if kids played it, it'd turn them into serial killers. Playing it would lead to irreparable psychological damage. Seriously, the media went nuts over this game. It's hilarious in hindsight, though a lot of adults I knew took the media at face value on this one.
I think GTA was a worse influence on kids than this game
Nesse jogo os lutadores são assassinados no final da luta, a diferença do GTA é que lá muita gente de bem é alvo, policiais, pedestres e outros.@@XXtheJUMPoffXX
The Mortal Kombat crowd is Augusta level with how respectful the applause is 👏🏾
90s:
Actually playing the game.
2010s:
Spamming buttons on the controller.
2020 letting the machine play for you these damn time towers
Yep that's me I do
Ok boomer
Back in the 90s people also spammed to win on the arcade.
@@justaserbiandoomer497 You don't know what a boomer is
11:25 He's on his back, then after the fatality, he's back on his feet. Lol. The glitches were great.
Watch tas there are a lot of glitches
15:42 That fight was intense
arcades were bad ass when this came around loud bass and good sounds had everyone looking at this in the 90's
A huge crowd of people would just watch. Good times. There was one bad ass MK arcade with a big screen monitor at a supermarket lol.
When I was a kid I was always so scared of this game, but I loved playing it.
I remember I was like 4 when I found out about MK and I asked my Dad for it, and with no questions asked he bought it and when Goro dropped from the sky I threw my controller at the screen😂🤣 haha.
Tiffany Lee what a great story! I bet Ed Boon would love hearing Goro had that effect.
@I Poked You she is 32 then. ( or will be this year)
Tiffany Lee Why'd you do that
@@ranbirbhatia1585 it scared me 😅
I wasnt even born when this came out but i still enjoy old Mortal Kombat games
Same
Já se passaram muitos anos e continuo amando o mk1
From playing to watching this game as a kid to this day I still love the soundtrack 😙🤌🔥. beautiful
Good times!!! I play game in 1993,
From Brazil ✌
Is everybody ignoring how he's on the 2 player side?
Don't see the issue. I always played on the player 2 side on PC. The keyboard controls are just handier on the numpad.
+Nyerguds you can play MK1 on the pc?!
everything can be played on pc
Nanimator emulator
Actually is because of the difference between the sonoplastics sounds, the player 1 is different, it's sounds like he is suffering more when he gets a hit
The way you handled those boss battles was the definition of sweeeeet! Dude!
I spent many hours in the arcade playing this in front of crowds of kids, best player keeps playing.
Me after school
Years ago there was so much pride and arrogance surrounding this game. I came into it from Street Fighter, but got destroyed. Me and friend eventually got to a level where it was a quest around south Florida to see who could beat us. Some guy said, go to Grand Prix and you will get whipped. Nobody beat us there. Played at a mall in coral springs, where nobody could touch us. However, there was this asian guy who actually did tae kwon do that was rumored to play real well, but I never got to play him. By the game designer's strategy description, I possibly figured out close the ideal strategy; using the crouching low kick to move in on guys, and also defeats jump kick of people who get past the uppercut. Favorite combo was Johnny Cage >> High punch, jump punch, jump punch, jump kick. Weird to think I put so much effort into that game.
@@Polarcupcheck that Asian who did TKD is a total myth they just wanted to send you far from the arcade as possible. Spamming bastard you.
I remember the Super Nintendo version and it having no blood. Lol I was so envious of the kids who played it on SEGA. I remember beating goro for the first time and jumping in excitement only do get destroyed by Shang Tsung. I never did it beat it... Interesting to see what happens over 20 years later.
I know but SNES looked so much more like the arcade!
I had the snes version sadly yes theres no blood but the music sounds better i thought
@@rsalek What's more interesting is that MK2 gives Sub-Zero a 2-part fatality, the one ironically used in the SNES version of MK1 that was SFW by Nintendo standards.
The music and voice was bad ass
There was only one time when me and my cousin played in a 2 player match and a small rare thing has happened that nobody has ever seen before. We actually both knocked each other down at the same time and it seriously said “DRAW” at the end of the round.
I remember getting this as a kid for Christmas on my Sega Game Gear. Loved it!
Jesus Christ, your double Flawless Victory on Shang Tsung was hilarious.
Nostalgia hit me hard tight now, I was like 12 when I was playing this game.
Raiden yelling about his paycheck, bragging about his dog and asking about his car. The memories come flooding back
Playing the dungeon vs goro was scary, palms were sweaty too. Loved it
What a phenomenal game! One of my all time favorites. MK9 is the most addictive game now in my opinion.
Old is gold..this game piece of history
I think vintage graphics have their charm
The close combat in this game was the best part, it feels like real life. Opponents are not thrown so easily like in modern games, so block and trying to attack was more difficult.
This is not a video game, it defined a generation!!!!!👍
Unfortunately 🤷🏻♀️ (you all take video games too seriously. They’re not a primer on how to navigate the real world. I’m just saying! Gods on the throne and you’re all still playing mortal kombat in your personal lives. And just FYI this is exactly the wrong place from which to learn how to treat the female of the species) It’s just a video game.

I love how how Cage stopped for a sec like "he's gonna kick me again..."
Scorpion’s fatality always made me wonder how a skeleton can yell.
Magic maybe?
He was incarnate from hell, so I didn't think much about it.
He's a specter/revenant.
He’s talking about the burnt persons skeleton. Not scorpion
Sonya 💋 fatality Is the same how skeleton can yell hear!
Is it only me who can still play these games,
No a lot of people have emulators
Still better story than Twilight
Well... 'too much love will kill you'. =)
Goro used to scare the Sh*t outta me..I was only able to play if my brother was home....or I would turn the game off when it came to him lol
+AMDFX 99 there's nothing wrong with being scared jackass
Can’t believe this was 16bit , it was way ahead of its time, to us back then, it was so life like
I used to play this as a kid with my sister and cousins,it was so much fun
This is a lot different than mortal kombat X
Just a little bit lol
Yeah just a tad 😂
lol a tad bit because its way older, before 3D fighting games were out.
+YeloDerp No shit this game came out in 1992 the graphics then sucked compared to now.
YeloDerp no shit Sherlock
4:09 That woosh followed by that upper cut sound! Aw man that it's right there what a kick ass sound!, they don;t make em like this anymore
I always loved how at the end, when the "cast of characters" come out on screen, they each get a cheesy round of applause as they make their big entrance. Except for Kano, who get's an awkward silence. I remember when playing this is a kid being really sagely understanding of that - it because he's a BADDY
Those were the days....
Is it just me or the soundtracks from MK 1,2 and 3 are better than the rest of the MK games??
No not just you...can’t mess with perfection.
That is because MK 1 and 2 are the best period. 3 is meh at best.
Everything after that is rubbish that I have ZERO time for.
Look where scorpion's hand is at 2:43
Punching the goro statue in the balls, must be painful do both...
Why are you gae?
@@rileysbasicchannel5461 he has learned from Johnny Cage
He's not gay, he's not...
Seriously mate?? W.t.f.., are u that simple minded..
Hard to believe this game is over 30 yrs old now. Back when I first came across this game I thought it looked amazing. Do you even remember what 1992 was like compared to today? Very, very different place.
How different?
'Get over here' and "Come here' are the best lines in any video game ever!
