PC versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2, & 3
Mr. Dude:
I have MK 4 PC version on my cab and I don't think it's that bad. Graphics aren't the greatest I'll give ya that but the controls are completely remappable.
Also, I've tried to get 1, 2 and 3 running but they seem to have a lot of problems with newer video cards... I've never got any of them to work on my cab but I wish I was able to. I still have MK 3 on cd. I lost my MK 1 and I don't think I've ever had a "legit" copy of 2.

Mk4 is great for the pc. Go ahead and skip 1-3 though. As the ultimate mk fan I for course had to have the pc versions. Unfortunately it's not a matter of having 6 keyboard keys, because the pc ports were made back in the days when the pc joystick only supported 4 buttons. What this means is there aren't enough buttons to play mortal kombat properly. (They merged some of the buttons together.)
Also there are various other problems related to them being dos versions. These games are emulated in mame, use those versions. If your system can't handle them then get a new one or use the snes ports, which are near perfect.

What about Trilogy?
Also, I have Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 for SNES, but I cannot get the backup roms for them and my cartridges take about 50 flicks of the reset button to function.

So which console does the best MK4 and MK trilogy? Playstation?
Howard_Casto:
Playstation... bah! N64 is the best version.
The best version of mk4 is mkgold, which is on the dreamcast.
