Mortal Kombat 1+2+3

It flat out does not work. The control configuration does not respond to 90% of the controllers out there, and in case it does you can only configure 3 buttons on controllers and joysticks so forget about using your High Punch and Fatalities. The keyboard configuration is actually even worse that in MK4. Expect resolution issues. Even with serious control tampering to Dos Box it plays like crap. I am a huge MK and I regret buying these titles, there is literally no support for these games, they won't work any time soon.

The best games in the series not including the upcoming "X" title.

Ive played the standing arcade versions of these games as well as the little hand held ones beat shang tsung in the first multiple times and i can say for certain these three games have in common is whether its the easiest difficulty or the hardest you will not win at all its not the same code as the earlier iterations the cpu will come at you with lightning fast get up attacks, sometimes if you try to uppercut, it doesnt matter if your touching them or not, if you try sometimes they will just give you a barrage of punches and there aint a damn thing you can do about it. They can even fuck you up on the ground nope it doesnt matter if you try to get up or do a get up attack your fucked regardless. Mortal kombat 1 goro will just utterly fuck you up try the jump kick tactic it will not work at all. Mortal kombat 2 I DARE you to fly kick kintaro at all in fact i challenge you to land even one he'll throw you around the place like it doesnt even matter. Mortal kombat 3 fly kick kintaro he wont even care just throws you and takes out a fourth of your health everytime fireball redirects it but it was like that in the original. Point is if you play mk1 you played the other two at first its fun then after that you know what i mean and you will experience the same bullshit i have on that note i DO NOT recommend this pack at all I know i'll stick to the handheld version over this ridiculously hard copycat.

Question: Why pay for this game? Many of us are adults so we don't have much time to waste because we work, have family to care of, etc; When I saw it on GOG I thought it was a dream comin' true! But now I can't recommend it, I'm disappointed. Hard to say, but to me it's problematic when you can barely configure it, when you have to instal this software and that other application because the menu / joystick doesn't work properly; in the end it's just more and more things to do just to get the game working that consumes a lot of your time. If I have to waste my time figuring out what to do by reading messages, doin' research, foruns, downloading things ... why not just keep (or download and install) one of the many simulators outhere n' simply plug your joystick and play it for free? (n' if you find any issue, lots of videos to show you exactly what to do to get it working). Despite of all work, thanks for the efforts, but not for me.

Not one of these games work. I'm running windows 8, I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this. Please avoid!! It does not work at all.
