By today's standards the PC version of Mortal Kombat was tiny. It came on a measly three 3.5" disks. Even with an incredible compression ratio that's under 9mb total. It managed to deliver a decent conversion with that tiny footprint.
Play control:
I've never liked playing games with the keyboard but I hear others prefer it. Once I got the hang of using the keys I found this to be an accurate representation of the original.
Graphics:
Outstanding graphics and animation, easily the best of the versions reviewed here.
Sound:
Sound Blaster, Ad-lib, and good ol' speaker sound are supported. All are terrible.
Other Factors:
This isn't exactly the most accessible edition of Mortal Kombat around. Don't even bother trying it on anything past Windows 98, ran great in Virtual PC though.
