The most notable additions were graphic blood effects, more brutal fighting techniques, and especially the fatal finishing moves (this was a novelty as the traditional fighting games ended with the loser simply knocked unconscious and the victor posing for the players). While creating Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon and John Tobias started with the idea of Street Fighter II style system and retained many of its conventions but tweaked others. The 1987 fighting game Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior had also featured blood and beheadings. The Japanese seinen manga and anime series Riki-Oh (1988 debut), along with its Hong Kong martial arts film adaptation Story of Ricky (1991), featured gory fatalities in the form of finishing moves similar to those that later appeared in Mortal Kombat. In the Japanese shōnen manga and anime series Fist of the North Star (1983 debut), the protagonist Kenshiro performs gory fatalities in the form of finishing moves which consist of attacking pressure points that cause heads and bodies to explode, anticipating the fatalities of Mortal Kombat. In The Street Fighter (1974), a Japanese martial arts grindhouse film, Sonny Chiba performs x-ray fatality finishing moves, which at the time was seen as a gimmick to distinguish it from other martial arts films. Furthermore, some of the sounds and animations have been improved, and those characters that were missing a fatality movement now have one.The origins of the Fatality concept has been traced back to several violent Asian martial arts media. This MUGEN version of Mortal Kombat includes all the movements, positions, defense movements, fatalities (animation that each fighter used to kill his opponent), and all the playability of the original saga.

Now you can relive those great moments spent fighting against the arcade machine or your friends on the game console, thanks to a version of Mortal Kombat that is perfectly playable on your PC. Something that is relatively common to see in a video game nowadays, but rather surprising for its time. The game was an interactive gore film where the blood, broken bones, explicit violence, and macabre sounds were always there. Mortal Kombat Project: a classic in the fighting game genre Midway Games, surprised everyone with a very original fighting game, with more than 30 fighters to choose from, each of which had great animations thanks to an amazing graphics engine (at least for that period), and outstanding playability.

The Mortal Kombat saga is one of the classics of video gaming history, especially at the beginning of the 90s'.
