Mortal Kombat 1+2+3

Countless quarters were dumped into MKI, II and III back in the days of Arcades - and I was so happy to see these ported over to PC. I lost my originals EONS ago, so I am thankful GOG was able to strike a deal and get these here! Every so often I will load up one of the games, do a few rounds of KOMBAT and just rejoice at how fun MK was! Groundbreaking at the time, for what a fighting game was.

Freshly installed the game doesn't accept input from keyboard or controller. It sits in atract mode until you ctrl+alt+delete out of there. I have purchased a large number of DOSBox shell games through GoG and have never had one not work on a fresh clean install. I have a personal policy about games I purchase through a digital distributor; if it's broken out of the box I'm asking for a refund.

The best trilogy of MK where it all started. Always can sit down and have fun with a friend that comes over. Still need to go and lookup moves and Fatalities on articles, makes me remember the good old days when finding a magazine that had these moves. Good times.

so i'm new to GOG and i've only bought small handful of games, MK 1+2+3 & some Resident Evil Games. for some unknown reason even though the game boots up i cannot seem to get the game to work, this is likely just a "me problem" however i don't really know anyone on GOG nor how to connect with people who play this game, if anyone can get hold of me and help me out I'd be really grateful. sadly the guides online don't make any sense to me. i'm low key stuck in the mud and not sure how to fix it. because of this and speaking soley of my own experience (where i cannot purchase, install and play) i have to give a 1 star. HOWEVER my review is based on my user experience and set up elements and nothing to do with the enjoyment of the game and its content itself. I'm just having tech issues and i feel its worth mentioning incase others do too.

This edition left me wanting more, but it's not. It's almost impossible to configure the controls for both the joystick and the keyboard. None of the three are well adapted for PC. It's incredible they even charge for it. I really wanted to play these classics I played as a kid.
