No to tyle. A teraz bić, zabijać, wyrywać kręgosłupy i głowy. W razie jakiś problemów to dzwońcie, telełon do redakcji znacie.

Med den variation som varje spelare och motståndare har vad det gäller slag, rörelser och snabbhet är detta spel närmast oövervinnerligt. För att klara spelet krävs enorm övning och skicklighet.

Despite these faults, the DOS version of Mortal Kombat is a game that pulls off an arcade port rather well. It's clear that some areas got more attention than others, but it still got a lot right overall. I can't help but think that this port could have been virtually arcade perfect with a little more work and memory. Some of the things that drag it down a bit are easily fixed, but for one reason or another, they weren't addressed. Despite those shortcomings, if you're a fan of the arcade original, you'll probably have some fun with this port.
