  These videos have totally moved past being just technical analysis and are more akin to professionally crafted documentaries in their structure and editing.<br>Much more than what someone would have in mind for a sole comparison of different versions of a video game.<br>I don&apos;t know who should I credit more, the DF team or John, but all in all, what a fantastic, informative and beautiful video.<br>Big thanks to Digital Foundry.

  Not gonna lie. I love it when there&apos;s a ton of different ports to go over. The Doom epsiode is still my favorite for that reason.

  One thing that MK1 got very right was the balance of the colors between the sprites and the background. The characters felt like they belonged in this world, unlike many other games based on the same technology that came later.

  I miss being a kid and thinking that the home versions were exactly like the arcade

  Fun fact at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxc_K7RKRy0&amp;t=2550">42:30</a> : the presenter of Gamesmaster is a very young Dexter Fletcher, better known today as the director of ROCKETMAN. I did not expect to see him in a Digital Foundry video about Mortal Kombat 1 😅

  Mortal Kombat 2 is still my favorite, followed by Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

  Perhaps the most impressive fact is that one of the most legendary games ever released was produced by a team of 4 DEVELOPERS!

  Genesis wasn&apos;t the only version with blood. &nbsp;Game Gear had its own blood code for blood and fatalities (2, 1, 2, Down, Up)
