Mortal Kombat 8

From what i've read about MK8, they are going back to grass roots, getting rid of all the sillyness and making it a gritter darker game. I do hope it's good. I stopped playing them past MK2 as they just got daft.

if they are going to do that, they need to go back to digitized graphics. mk1 was just great in that respect. even mk2 looked cartoonish in comparison.
 
Here we are, quote from the fella making the game:

Our goal, graphically, with this game is to be as gritty and (I don’t like to use the word “dirty,” because I don’t want to imply not-cool graphics but) a very dark, serious Mortal Kombat. Not vibrant, saturated colors, but more of a really down and dirty Mortal Kombat game. To me, when I saw Gears of War, I was like, “Holy ****! That’s the look that we’ve been talking about” Visually, that’s what we want to do. Gameplay-wise, I kind of attribute it to what we did with Deadly Alliance, where everything is thrown out. We’re not going to have three fighting styles, we’re not going to have the same punches and kicks and the same kind of control scheme. Everything is getting trashed. We’re reinventing everything from the ground up. We really think that’s needed — you know, we’re on Mortal Kombat 8, in a sense — to kind of wipe the slate clean every once in a while, and I kind of feel that now is the time. Our visual presentation and our game presentation and our thing that you’ll hear about very soon are all going to be new to this game. It’s going to be nothing like you’ve ever seen before.

MKMUGEN is a side scroller. It combines neally all of the characters from MK1, 2, 3 and trilogy. Can be ran in a small window or full screen and has simple controls.

Think its free aswell. You (everyone in here) should try it. Loads better than MK4 which was total 3d crap

I know what you mean. They wrecked carmageddon by adding nasty 3d sprites when before they just took a picture of someone and wrapped it around a shape.

Looked far more realistic!

I think i managed them all on MK1 on amiga. Cant remember sonya's or lui kang's. What was it?

Not sure whether they changed it on the amiga, but Sonja's fatality was kiss of death, where she blew them a kiss and they burned up to a skeleton. Liu Kang afaik changed into a dragon and bit them in half.

MK1 made everyone stop and stare at the 'digitized' characters, sprites were definitely excellent at the time. From what I remember MK2 had more style and colour in the locations and characters. Don't think I ever played any of the games after these.
