The Mortal Kombat series has become somewhat of a leg-end-a fighting game that unlike Street Fighter II, Virtua Fighter or Tekken, originated in the U.S. When Midway released the first game, it gained notoriety from game players for its digitized graphics and cool special moves, but gained a reputation as being one of the most violent video games ever created.
Description of Mortal Kombat Trilogy Mortal Kombat Trilogy (aka MKT), a really nice action game sold in 1997 for DOS, is available and ready to be played again! Time to play a fighting, martial arts and fantasy video game title. Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a fighting game released by Midway in 1996 as the second update to Mortal Kombat 3 for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PCs. Further versions were also released for the Game.com and R-Zone. It features a similar basic gameplay system and the same story as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, but adds characters and stages restored from Mortal Kombat.
What Mortal Kombat Trilogy brings to the series is a combination of all three games rolled into one. Characters from the past come back to the arena for one more battle. The game is much like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in many ways. The game engine is basically the same, many of the moves are similar, if not exactly the same and the control configuration is the same. This game can best be described as Mortal Kombat 3 1/2.
The story combines all three plot lines of the series into one. It explains how Liu Kang became victorious over Goro during the first tournament. Little did our combatants know that they were about to be lured into the Outworld to compete in yet another tournament. But the second tournament was only a diversion-a way for Shao Kahn to reincarnate his queen and step from the Outworld to the Earth. Now firmly in his grasp, the third tournament begins to determine Earth's fate. This is the Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
The Nintendo 64 version of the game brings MK home like never before. The graphics are crisp and clear, a carbon copy of the UMK3 arcade graphics. It's astonishing to see the entire MKcast on one system, in one cartridge. All of the arcade backgrounds from ail three games are also included in the package, faithfully reproduced in their digitized glory. Plus, unlike the PlayStation version of the game or any of the MKs on CD systems, this one lies no loading time at all. Add in the Aggressor Mode which makes your attacks more deadly!
MKfans will no doubt appreciate the attention to detail that Williams look with the game, The sound is also good, considering that it's a cartridge game. The music and sound effects are taken right out of the coin-op.

All of the features from the arcade are back, like Random Character Select, but Trilogy adds a few more to the mix. Included are two-on-two. three-on-three and eight-player kombat tournaments. Turning on the Auto Kombo feature gives your character added punch. When you hit a character with a kick or a punch, the computer automatically turns it into a kombo for you. using punches and kicks or the appropriate special move. This is a perfect option for players who are newer to the fighting game genre and up against a seasoned MK veteran.
