http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/06/the_11_worst_mortal_kombat_rip-offs.phpFew games warped kids quite like Mortal Kombat did. Violent, controversial attractions have clung to the game industry ever since the 1970s and Exidy's Death Race, yet Midway did something special by putting Mortal Kombat into arcades back in 1992. For a quarter or two, any passing child could try out a digitized, blood-spurting battle to the death, and they didn't need home systems, the Internet, or permission from mom or dad. Mortal Kombat was soon a massive, gory success, with all of the parental complaints and hand-wringing it deserved.
Mortal Kombat also got the imitators it deserved: garish, horribly made fighters that made even Mortal Kombat 3 look appealing. This also makes Mortal Kombat clones a bit more interesting than the even larger field of Street Fighter II knock-offs. Street Fighter II started the whole fighting-game craze, but it was a more sedate and cartoon-ish game, and its copycats were usually bland and forgettable. We'd much rather look at Mortal Kombat rip-offs, with their eye lasers and dismemberment and fireball-spewing crotches. One note: don't look for Killer Instinct or Primal Rage. Next to what we're covering, Killer Instinct and Primal Rage are high art.
