Mortal Kombat 4

Mortal Kombat 4 is the greatest piece of media to ever be created. The stunning visuals, amazing story, and great voice acting in the cutscenes makes this game an experience that trancends the comprehension of man. This game was so good that I had to stop playing mere minuets after starting. I could not recommend Mortal Kombat 4 enough.

My first time ever playing it after watching average reviews and I think not only is the game fun but also a great port. However using a controller I found the D-pad to not work properly, so I used steam big picture's desktop mode to reconfigure the controls and found other commands not working properly. I resorted to using steam's controller companion which worked perfectly but unfortunately is not for sale on steam anymore. I've been on some forum's about this version with controlllers and there is quite a few different controller apps to download to fix the problem so it's no issue but it's something to be aware of.

It has everything Mortal Kombat should. Ridiculous blood spattering and bone crunching moves. Variety and flashy moves. Fatalities, and the first introduction of the MK character weapons system that appeared in later games too. Interactive stages and items (you can pick up objects and weapons and use them!) The only gripe I have is that it is like many retro games it's hard to get the same look and feel from these games. The 3D models have depth issues and the 2D assets scale horrendously bad. The 3DFX filtering is flawed for the fonts and 2D assets adding black lines and otherwise making them look 'melted' by over smoothing the sharp edges. See my forum post for a couple of notes on how to disable this if you don't mind a pure pixelated look.

Nice

I can actually argue this is the best MK PC game in a few ways.
