I missed those days buying gaming magazines and hearing about certain special moves at the arcade parlours.

There's just something special about Mortal Kombat videos, especially the history of it. I'm so grateful for this video.

Dude no joke I literally watched all of these last night for like the second time, lol. I'm addicted to these videos.

The greatest KZfaqr without arms has put up the best retrospective about ripping off arms. Excellent.

Oh man this is great. I remember the arcade in 92, it was amazing. SF2, Mortal Kombat, Art of Fighting - and never having a chance to play any of them because the machines were always full! What a time to be alive.

this channel is so fantastic and really deserves so much more attention

NGL, there are already many videos on the history of MK. However, I was really entertained by the content put together here and narration. Good job!

An iconic series. Thank you for bringing me back through the years.

love your shit, everyone does! Perfect content!

Nice one! I love these feature length episodes, so keep them coming.

Batman and now a remaster of the MK videos? Patman, you spoil me.

There's nothing better than the original Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

Carlos Pasina said he didn't reprise his role as Raiden in MK3 because he was working on Midways Open Ice. Which was an Hockey version of NBA Jam.

Just randomly found your channel browsing KZfaq and now I've been sucked down a serious rabbit hole.... Great content brother. Keep up the good work!

90 minutes of awesome.

Love Your CHANNEL PATMANQC!!

If only I didnt have to work tomorrow. Time shall be set aside to watch tomorrow.

Happy little games . . . . . . . . Appreciate the effort you put into giving us "the long version" of your works! Thanks!

I was 12-years-old in 1992. There is just so many quarters a 12-year-old can scrounge up, and it was never enough.

Raiden always sounded like he was screaming "Beans of the Dayyyy!"

I've already seen the individual episodes and any excuse I can get to watch it again is fine by me! Awesome work!!

One of my favorite channels on KZfaq

Johnny’s Big Foot Wiggle of Doom should’ve returned

i came for mat mania, i stayed for the wife jokes!!

I like how you review every port of the game. I'm slowly getting into game emulation so it's nice to know which ones I should bother with and which ones I shouldn't. When mentioning MK2 for the Sega Master System, you inadvertently mention twice that color was added back in, once at 48:42 and again at 48:52.

Not only is the lack of blood and fatalities in the snes version of mk1 terrible, but, the controls were stiff.

Patman You're true Mortal Kombat fan,this Video is Gold!👍🤟🎮

Ill never forget the first time I saw it it was like looking at a unicorn no other game had ever looked so cool and other than nba jam final fight ninja turtles x men and the Simpsons gave me a great feeling unlike anything else I ever experienced

I remember my family put their money together for Christmas to buy me a Sega Genesis mortal Kombat 3,Ultimate. they are my Greatest Family in the World. I miss the 90s so much and that's why I never took thoes years for Granted.

I hate how Midway mistreated and underpaid the actors. I hate even more how they lost in court.

Dude I agree with u about 3. One of my gripes about it at the time was it released too close to 2. MK2 was still immensely popular when 3 was thrust upon us.

They did use the Shang Tsung laughing animation, but only in the end credits.

I'll never forget finding a copy of mk trilogy on the n64 walking home from school as a kid. It was beat up but the chip was ok. Me and my sister popped it in after dinner and loved it so much. We would play tournament mode and then watch the fatalities and brutalitys as rewards

Hey there Pat. Now I know you are a busy guy reviewing games and painting those happy trees but I hope sometime you can give us your unique take on the Arcade game ESWAT and all of its console underlings. Big hugs from the UK 😄

I remember I was in 7th grade when the OG came out and I was CALLED a liar when I said I saw "the blue dude rip the head off the chick." Was amazing to feel valid

Learning about Patman's history just now, I have no excuse to not ever not finish a video edit again. Truly inspirational my man. Are you able to game still? I imagine so, esp with Xbox and that controller they make that people can customize? Keep keeping on man! THanks for all the content

This is one the best video... awesome job

The MK uppercut is one of the best fighting game moves ever

Love it, took me back to being a kid in the arcades and on the SNES & MegaDrive/Sega Genesis. Amazing times, I always wanted too play the plug and play versio but never got to. My main childhood games were 1 ,2 & 3. I loved the Sega Saturn version of ultimate MK3. I was also working in a local SEGA WORLD back then and was actually told to unlock Smoke which was not available by the dip switch settings, which means I had to put it in manually in the UK. arcade. that was because more characters, more players. Yet everything was heard was in the arcades, classrooms, and what you read in video games magazines. I did actually buy a Mortal Kombat 2 game guide, which was rare back in the UK in the 90s. I actually bought a Mortal Kombat 2 and later a MK3 machines. MK2 has taken a fair bit of maintenance. Ultimate MK3 plays amazing. I have maintained them well. I have replaced all buttons and sticks with Sanwa working very well This was way before 1-UP cabinets, so it was very expensive. To me still worth it having these original arcade versions it was great and always a conversation starter. Everyone knows it, some have never played it, but are relaxed enough to play it. Bringing people together!

Love this channel and narration. Very humorous

Great video massive fan of your channel 🙏👏

A change of pace from Batman but I’ll allow it, only cos PatManQC is the best!

The narrator makes this video all the more enjoyable

Dude, your videos are awesome! Thank you so much for the amazing content :)

Recently found this awesome channel and been binge watching... I like learning the history of arcade games 😎👍

Hahahahahaha! I see the head of a PatMan at the bottom of the Pit!!! Who defeated you, PatMan???

In The SNES, it’s Kano’s Purple Nurple of Doom

"Rumor has it that the stop motion puppet was based on my wife! This would explain why I started to turn to stone when I first met her!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one, Patman! But you should have ended the joke with instead - "This would explain why I became rock hard when she would jump on me!" Either way, you went from an insult to a compliment towards your poor yet lovely wife! God bless!!!

Legend has it that Baraka's last name is Bama.

First video I caught from this channel! Great job!

Mortal Kombat 2... Baraka reminds me of a horror character in the 1980's C.H.U.D. movie. You can do BRUTALITIES

Awesome stuff!

"I haven't seen this much sweat since I was constipated!" good lord, Pat!

I have mk 1 and 2 arcade games. As I’ve gotten older these games just keep getting better and more fun. I didn’t realize their impact to the hobby in 1993

Hey i just discovered your vids, channel and think it's great. Nice work! I have to ask though was that Arcade1UP moment sponsored?

Highly highly highly recommend Enter the Dragon for any old school MK fan who may have not seen it yet. It's probably Bruce Lee's best movie, and the first MK game, especially the movie, pretty much lifted all of its plot right from Enter the Dragon. Most would have already seen Bloodsport thanks to 1990s TBS and TNT.

I'm just gonna say it, MK2 is the king when it came to fatalities, they're still gruesome and realistic, it's why it's my all time fav MK game in history! And side note, Kung lao morphs into a Cheetah, not a leopard 1:11:27

I'm a huge SF2 fan from back in the day and have played very limited mortal Kombat even though I saw it in the arcade, been giving it a go on the SNES lately and still suck at it although I'm enjoying it. The only thing I don't like is that the stages change when you continue instead of each character having their own unique stage like SF2

I thought Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 were decent games when they were new. However, I was definitely a Street Fighter player growing up. I absolutely despised Mortal Kombat 3. I didn't like the run feature or the combos. It always felt like they were trying to follow in Killer Instinct's path (I loved the first one). This was a very informative video! Thank you for making it. Fun Fact- Did you know Mortal Kombat almost became a TG-16 exclusive?! The developers wanted to do it but Nec/Hudson refused to fork out royalties on an untested game. What an absolute blunder that was. That could have been the killer app the TG-16 needed to really put it on the map. I would have got one just for MK.

The Genesis version was rushed which is part of the reason for the difference in sprite quality. Not sure about the missing audio samples but modders have updated it and releases the "Arcade Edition" as a rom. Others have since put the rom on a reproduction carts and you can but it online to play on your Genesis hardware. Much closer to the arcade for graphics and the sound samples are now there too. It's a great upgrade.

The MK series is just damn good, my favorite 2D game in the series however still has to be MK: Trilogy on the PlayStation, I love how on certain characters you could even play older versions of them. Plus of course it put back in Baraka’s spinning blade attack. And Richard Divizio and Daniel Pesina are two cool guys, I met them at our local convention got them to sign my Genesis copy of MK 1, and had pics taken with them, including me taking a nut cracker, and Kano “ripping out my heart.” Plus I got to spend time with them afterwards and eat some pizza and drink some beers with them along with playing them in the arcade version of MK2, since I was a VIP at the convention.

Ahh the memories. MK Trilogy was my favorite.

Great !! Perfect video, thanks a lot ❤️🔥

Awesome

Today i played the old arcade again. The screen was definitely affected by time and usage, but it was fun nonetheless. I immediately went with my most trusted character kano and almost finished the game on my first attempt after almost 30 years or so. I've finished the arcade game many times and with multiple characters back in the day.

Yes, Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally intended for the role of Johnny Cage, but turned it down because we wanted to focus on making movies.

Your content is so dang good! Love it! I have a confession though…. I have a soft spot for MK Annihilation…. I know, I know, it’s horrible.

Aww pat you missed a great easter egg at palace gates in MK1 i can hear you saying " The creators even paid tribute to pac man by placing him and a ghost in the stone carvings on the right side of palace gates."

The X-ality rumors from Mortal Kombat 2 still drive me NUTS...

let's all be honest here, MK2 was clearly the best game of the trilogy. MK1 was trying to prove itself but the gameplay was lacking but it did have the raw brutality to get attention. mk3 tried to change it up with the run button but I feel like the gameplay was severely diluted. MK2 is hands down the best game

Mortal Kombat 1 on Super Famicom (NTSC-J), Midway Arcade Treasures 2 (PS2/GameCube/XBOX360), Mortal Kombat Deception Premium Pack (PS2/XBOX360), PS3, and Midway Arcade Treasures Extended Play (PSP),

In the Early 90's seemed like every neighborhood Sub or Pizza shop in my neighborhood (Rochester, NY) had Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat. Miss those days.

Mortal Kombat fans hated the 2021 movie, too, not just critics.

Patman is the keeper of the arcade

15:15 MVG made a video about this device, is actually a port of the OG arcade running on some sort of fpga chip. impressive

Thank you Sir

I used to work out at the same gym as the original Jax actor.

Funny how the bodies explode in the 32X version BEFORE they make contact on the floor, huh?

Captivating content as always.

Dan "didnt have to go the hard in MK3" Forden

rw:i be honest with you PATMAN QC the first MK game i ever played was MK3 arcade machine at pizza hut next to a freeway to where it leads to the sanfernando mission in california.

By today’s standards, the game boy version of Mortal Kombat is pretty crazy. But I absolutely loved playing that game when they released it. And I actually enjoy the music it’s got that classic chiptune sound that I love.

I like the Genesis ost.

The best Mortal Kombat 3 Video game

I bought the arcade1up Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 from Walmart and I got to say if you want an arcade cabinet but don't want to spend three to five thousand dollars this is the way to go

I remember BARBARIAN!!!! I was in maybe third or fourth grade, possibly fifth... We had an Apple II e. Or maybe II ce. But I also distinctly remember the decapitation.

KZfaq algorithm loves me.

MK II will always be my favorite!

Ah, it's so refreshing to have a video that mentions "farts and queefs" again haha

Yeah I never heard of the no blocking to fight reptile or the only kicking to do a friendship.

Good video Pat!

I liked MK1 for SNES. The deep freeze fatality was cool. Also, it is farcical to have "buckets of blood" come out during a match. More blood is dispersed during a match than a fatality. That was ridiculous in every installment of the game.

The history of every computer game : some dudes wanna make a lot of money.

Is it true that Sub-Zero had a hidden finishing move where he would freeze Johnny Cage's weiner and then smack it into a million pieces like when the Robert Patrick Terminator in Terminator 2 got frozen by the liquid nitrogen?

I thought this was really well done. Can you remember off the top of your head what were the superior versions of MK3 and Ultimate MK3 apart from the PC versions?

They also did a tv show and a live show

Just in case anyone forgot, the bloodcode is AB AC ABB. 🤘

Must say, I never seen this Reptile portrait from MK1 before at 6:43 - low right corner

Rain is a fake secret character in the arcade version of UMK3. They made him a normally playable character in the Genesis and SNES ports.

Not sure why some of the game audio is choppy. I mean really bad choppy.
