alexlincs 15th Oct 2020		Rated 7/10 Good version of the classic arcade game. As you would expect it is vastly scaled down, given it is running on a machine which is half the power of the Mega Drive. This version I think has two, maybe three backgrounds for the stages, more limited animation and it runs at a slower pace. Much like the Mega Drive version a cheat is needed to activate the blood and gore, this version has more blood than the SNES version, but plays worse. On the plus side it was a miracle this was even ported to the Master System and it's a fairly late title, but it sold well. To put it in perspective the Mega CD was out by this time and the Playstation 1 was launched in Japan a year later. The game plays fairly well and I really enjoyed it when I owned a MS back in the day, I think it features all the characters and to me seemed easier than the other versions, which is a good thing because I am crap at games and the other versions are rock hard. It scores a solid 7 from me, but there is little point playing it now given the Arcade version has been ported perfectly since the PS2 and XBOX days (as part of the Mortal Kombat Deception Premium pack), the Mega Drive\Genesis version is also cheaper to buy for anyone looking for a cart version. For me it still holds nostalgia and I admire the developers Probe (arguably best known for Die Hard Trilogy on the PS1, PC, Saturn) for making a playable one on one fighter for limited hardware. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
