Mortal Combat for Flash


What can i say about one of the greatest multiplayer fighting games ever made on a console. From its first ever release as an arcade in 1992, to the many hundreds of copies that came out into the console gaming world.
On every console from PC and Nintendo 64 to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 the games are beloved by the fan base and unmatched by an other martial fighting style game released to this day.
Then when we thought it cannot go any further they surprise us once more with a release on Flash player.
The direct link I will include here shortly, but I wanted to first give some back history on the series itself the many titles and platforms that are associated with them.
To start things lets talk about the consels that it has released to, ranging in variety over the years to cover most all of them on the market today for starters it came out on arcade, Mortal Kombat was released in October of 1992.
One year later we have Mortal Kombat II it was released for arcades as well featuring a wider variety of characters and a higher Quality, also in 2007 a PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat II was released revisiting the original games with an improved quality and style.
Mortal Kombat 3 followed in 1995 on both the arcade and console also released was two expansions again improving on the characters and graphic quality along with new exciting in-game features.
Later the same year was released Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and following it The Mortal Kombat Trilogy a gathering of the contents of the first three with the style and game play style of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
In 1997 Mortal Kombat 4 was released the first of the series to feature third dimentional graphics as well as being the first 3D game ever released by midway Mortal Kombat 4 was released on the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and PC, while an updated version named Mortal Kombat Gold was released specifically for the Dreamcast in 1999 a special recap to the older versions of the game with much better game play and visual effects.
Now it was time for a change and with the release of Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance in 2002 the game changed no longer focused on the arcade styles the graphical quality took an explosive turn featuring more three dimensional arenas and the games character list erupted with new contestants, Deadly Alliance was released for multiple platforms to include Xbox, PlayStation2, and GameCube.
Later released where two versions for the Game boy advanced named Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition, and then later in 2003 was the Deadly Alliance release for Game boy Advanced.
The next release took the games even further into the new age, released in 2004 the sequel to Deadly Alliance was released called Mortal Kombat Deception, the game was distributed on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. However in 2006 Just Games Interactive released Mortal Kombat Unchained for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) their version of Deception, but as the games are constantly evolving and releasing new titles it was short work for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to be released the same year for PS2 and Xbox then in 2007 on the Wii.
On September 29 of 2008 Midway released the Motal Kombat Kollection a gathering of the three most recent titles to the main franchise.
Their is much more history to learn and i would direct you to Wikipedia for the any other questions you would care to know, however i have gone a bit off base with this article the main point was to direct you to the newest release, Mortal Kombat Karnage a online flash version of Mortal Kombat featuring nine playable characters with single and multiplayer modes and seven arenas to choose from, tho it takes a turn towards the original games with a side scrolling feel to it and two dimensional quality the graphics are not bad and the game play is simple all in all it poses a nice feel and a new challenge to those who enjoy Konquring the Mortal Kombat series and as always the game is free to play i have posted the link below and i hope you enjoy the carnage.
