I'm not a huge gamer but I've always been a big fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise. MK 1, 2, and 3 are the only games I own for the Sega Genesis.

The mythology is a fun mix of Kung-Fu movies, sci-fi, sword-and-sorcery, and bloody violence. Wraiths of vengeance team with ancient gods to fight cyborg ninjas and extradimensional lizard men. It's like a middle school fever-dream.

The new MK game is coming out, and all the advertising made me nostalgic. Rewatched the first MK movie, and it sure is a lot of fun.

There was a MK TV show on in the late 90s. I never saw it, and am saddened it's not on DVD in the US. Might try to find it online.

Anybody else like the Kombat?
