Message: [QUOTE="UnDubious, post: 189334, member: 4030"] You're missing the most important part of its history. Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 were massive hits and the series became a cultural phenomenon in the early '90s, and MK3 was still a big hit in 1995. It was one of the first video games to get a Hollywood live action movie for a reason. Even the digitized graphics were cool and cutting edge for a few years, as everyone was chasing realism and 3D wasn't quite there yet. The problem is it completely floundered after that as video games transitioned to 3D in the 32-bit era, and before long it became more of a niche series, with several poorly received entries and spin-offs, while things like digitized sprites were now seen as dated and corny in retrospect. There was still some goodwill associated to the name for many who'd grown up with it, but the die-hards who still cared were just hoping for a return to glory. [/QUOTE]
