Mortal Kombat Trilogy

MKT is THE best way to experience classic 2D MK. Everything is under one roof: You have all the fighters and playable bosses from the 2D era, all the stages, all the fatalities, animalities, babalities, friendships, stage fatalities and now brutalities as options for finishing the fight. The Kombo system was slightly overhauled with this release, too, allowing you to pull off pre-designed ones as well as ones you freely make through your own skill. It gets typically OTT as you can imagine! I still remember using a special move starter to string into a Kombo and being able to put together Kung Lao's 13-hit Kombo: The most I could do with any character. The music and sound effects are as thunderous and impactful as they were in the arcade cabinets, and the animations still look superb. Don't miss the attract mode either, with its character profiles and full screen pictures of the fighters! Playing with Kung Lao? Then I send you my friendship! Away, Away, Away, Down, High Kick. <3

...And was surprised to how well it works: ✔ Was able to get both my arcade stick and hitbox working with it in no time, since it conveniently comes packed with a input configuration tool. ✔ You can easily turn off AA and enable integer scaling to get that sharp pixel look through the DirectX configuration tool. ✔ Game does not have scanline filters (as expected). However, since it uses a DirectX wrapper, you can just add your favorite one through reshade if you so wish. Overall, really solid release. Will be using this moving forward instead of emulating the PSX version (which is really the highest sort of praise you can give to these things).

While MK2 was arguably the best 2D game in the old Mortal Kombat series, MK Trilogy packs all the karakters, fatalities, and arenas into one game. Plays nice with XInput (360/XB1) gamepads. Extremely low hardware requirements. Solid couch 2P versus. Worth ten bones and often on sale for even less.

Thanks!!! GOG.com. Really like this game on my old sega saturn and having it available for modern pc is amazing... Pros: -just as you remember it -no mid round loading times like playstation and saturn -no long doading times between fights -cheatcodes are the same here. -runs in windows 10 no issues. -works great with reshade 5.3.0 if you want scanlines and sharp pixels -automatically configures my 8bitdo snes controller just as i like it. cons: -some graphics glitches in windowed mode but fullscreen is fine. -sometimes crashes when exiting the game. - doesn't seem to like xbox one controllers, can't use d-pad on mine.

10/10, only need a crt filter or scanlines.
