🤜 The Fighting Classic of the ’90s 🤛
Debuting in 1992, Mortal Kombat quickly rose to global prominence as a powerhouse in the fighting game genre, amassing sales of over 100 million units worldwide.
- Known for its graphic violence -particularly its iconic "fatality" finishing moves- Mortal Kombat was heavily censored or even banned in several countries including Germany and South Korea
🥋 Mortal Kombat I
Mortal Kombat was a groundbreaking game for the Amiga and PC. Previous conversions of arcade fighting games, such as Street Fighter II, were major disappointments on home computers. This helped Mortal Kombat gain widespread popularity among Amiga users. Below is a list of the various ports of the game released for computers and consoles:
🕹️ Computers: Amiga, MS-DOS
🎮 Consoles: Arcade, Sega Mega Drive, Sega CD, Nintendo SNES, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System, Nintendo Game Boy
⚔️ A Timeless Arcade Classic
Released in 1989 by Sega, Golden Axe is a classic beat 'em up video game. It was originally developed for arcade machines (System 16B hardware) and was soon successfully ported to computer systems and home consoles. Only the Sega Mega Drive received the full sequels to the game (I, II, and III).
- The game was designed by Makoto Uchida, who also created Altered Beast the previous year.
- Its success led to the development of a franchise, including multiple sequels and various spin-offs.
- Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS versions were released later, in 1990, by Virgin Software.
✍️ The Story
The story is set in the fictional realm of Yuria, a high-fantasy medieval world reminiscent of Conan the Barbarian. The villainous Death Adder has kidnapped the King of Yuria and his daughter, imprisoning them in their own castle. He also seizes the Golden Axe, a powerful magical symbol of the kingdom, threatening to destroy both it and the royal family unless the people submit to his rule.
