Stop trying to cram everything into one game. They could put in Test your Might, Test your Sight, Puzzle Fighter, Chess Fighter and a whole slew of other minigames with big headed MK characters. Online fighting, Tag Mode, Survival Mode, Time Attack, Create a Character (it's not a minigame if you're building fighters to fight to your liking, but this is debatable if we're talking in the purest sense of the word "fighting game.") Game 3) Party game: I think MK could do a party game like Mario Party. A good solid engine where the only peripheral ornaments for the game serve only to enhance the fighting itelf. Game 2) Fighting game: My personal favorite. This version is a bargain that you and your kids can get into.If they really want to franchise the hell out of Mortal Kombat (and I think they could honestly) then they should do this: Game 1) Adventure game: Story driven, action packed platformer types in the vain of MK: Mythologies, MK: Special Forces and MK: Shaolin Monks. May not be the original, but those will run you up to $1,700 for a single game and take up more space. However, if you're an arcade cabinet collector, most will tell you getting three games in one for that price is a steal. The biggest hangup people will have is the price, which is going for $300. I will say the cabinet is only 4' tall, so I would recommend getting the additional riser for the system to bring it up to 5' tall. Credit: Arcade1UpĪrcade1Up did a hell of a job recreating the old Mortal Kombat cabinet and bringing these games back. SCORPION, kids! I'm happy not having it on this machine. I mean… the original MK3 was missing Scorpion. And while some would be sticklers for wanting the original MK3 in the cabinet, I give kudos to Arcade1Up for putting in Ultimate MK3 as that was the version that gave us the characters we wanted and became more popular. That said, these are still the glorious fighter games you remember telling the original story. I'm just saying old-school players will notice a slight difference in the way they're able to handle the game. I do want to stress that while it is different, it isn't broken or messed up in any way. So while this is Mortal Kombat 1-3, there are some slight changes in the way the gameplay flows compared to the way it was back in the original cabinet. Same as how modern ports of old Atari games play a hair faster than their predecessors. I don't care how many arcades you play at, longtime users will tell you that a modern system with modern tech does not play exactly the same as the way they were constructed. Now what I mean by that is that yes, this is a port of the original arcade ROM to a new system, using a board similar to the original. Credit: Arcade1UpĪs far as the gameplay goes, this is about as close to the original as you're going to get. The biggest thing to deal with was the installation of the 17" LCD monitor, based on the tiny screws used to secure it to the framework of the cabinet. Everything in the box was already pre-designed with the graphics attached and whatnot. We even did it with a manual screwdriver and not a powered one. Putting the unit together took about an hour with a second person, and that's because we took our time and made sure we weren't messing it up. I do not recommend doing this one by yourself, you should always get someone to help you out. There are instructions in the box, as well as a link to a YouTube video that can guide you through the process of putting one together. When we built this thing, it was pretty easy going. The only difference is the front of the cabinet, which as you can see, replaced the usually bare coin slots with graphics from the first three games. As far as design goes, this is about as to the letter as you get. The amazing look of Raiden on the side calling down the lightning, the bold red and yellow coloring on the markee imprint, those classic designs on the control panel. This is the same design I saw at both a local arcade and an old Pizza Hut restaurant back in the day, so I know it well. The cabinet itself is the Mortal Kombat II design. First off, let's examine this thing design-wise. ![]()
