Mortal Kombat 1+2+3

Thanks to Gog for selling this wonderful game, looking forward to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

as many reviews says about the controller being god awful - and the limit time with the character pick is terrible. Don't recommend getting this game and please choose something else.

Good Game

Pretty bad. Won't pick up fight-stick, need keys emulated. Half the time it jumps out of the menu, crashes Steam (forced to use overlay) edit exes and all sort of things just to get it running. Spending 30 min - 50 min trying to get a game working is not a good product to sell. The worst? Warn Bros already has a good version. I own it. But can't play it due to GFWL, which they couldn't be bothered removing. So I paid again, for an inferior version, that still doesn't work properly. Yay!

Having never seen the PC ports before I'm surprised by the lack of options or any real setting indicators. It's very mysterious. Needing to discover F1 and F2 are start keys proved confusing. {No manuals or anything at the moment.} I'm kinda shocked by how dated it comes across having to use the keyboard and having controller issues. I have an 360 controller 1, 2, and 3 so far just don't seem to understand. Number 2 and 3 seem a little derpy to me just dropping you in the select screen. Number 1 is polite and familiar asking you to press start. Maybe I'm having control issues but the controls seems a bit off. Except MK1, which was always a hair janky after it's time, is doing okay and gets points for being close enough to produce the "I remember this" feeling and therefore is satisfying. Keep in mind I missed these ports entirely, I would personally hope for a redux version with updated control interfaces menus and possibly added "start-y" screens with both added and expanded resolution options. IDEALLY I would, and we should, hope/ask for a "reskin redux" (with a classic/ original option) all done in OpenGL. That is not touching the play mechanics AT ALL. (From the originals.) Even a quality Cell/Texture-shadey goodness parroting the originals with all manner of visual improvements like rays and weather etc for MK1 through MK4 and Ultra. (MK4 needed some work it never got lets face it.) I mean where you transfer the experience with the time/tech that has elapsed and it fools you into thinking it is the original and seeing the true original is a shock. I think they can make it work. (Make money on it. Standard package don't have to do it again. Keep it available gog. a MK 1,2,3 and a 4, ultra and "the other one no one ever played" "redux" packages..) EVEN AT A SALE PRICE OF 50 CENTS A PIECE I can't make it work for me. SAVE YOUR MONEY. To have something worth paying for something needs to be done.
