A Brief History of The Mortal Kombat Series

Mortal Kombat is a series of fighting games created by Ed Boon and John Tobias in 1992. Mortal Kombat began as a series of arcade games, which were picked up by Acclaim Entertainment for the home console versions.

Playing Mortal Kombat is a lot like the blackjack game, it's all about timing, you have to know when to hit. Mortal Kombat introduced the fatalities, which are finishing moves that allow players to kill the opponent in a gruesome manner before the fight's end.
