    I just realised, now that the internet exists, I can find answers to all those really irritating questions I had about MKII as a kid!

    Only problem is, I don't know where to start.... so much about that game baffled the fuck out of me. And that feeling of real mystery is something I miss about games these days. It gave the MK games a real sense of depth.
    Seriously though. Why "Toasty!" and who the fuck was that dude who appeared? Why? What?

    What the hell?

    That's Dan "toasty" Fordan, the sound programmer for MK 1 and 2. He was given the nick name "toasty" supposedly because he'd yell that when Scorpion would do his fatality in MK2.

    So they just made him randomly pop up for no reason during fights? I seem to remember some rumour that went around in my school that when he popped up you could mash buttons to make .... something happen... ?

    But anyway, cool. That's one down.

    Now what was the deal with all those weird codes/symbols you could input in MK III?

    With regards to Dan Fordan, he only pops up when you uppercut someone. When he pops onto the screen, hold down on the joystick and slam the start button. If you're fast enough, you'll fight either smoke or jade depending on if the conditions are met.

    The codes in MK III were the kombat kodes. They were basically the MK version of the match-up screen cheats from NBA Jam which gave you weird sets of rules, like no throws or extra life. When the ads for MK III ran before the game was released, if you looked in the backgrounds, they actually gave away all the codes. It was just another neat trick.

    Now, at the end of a 1 player game, you got a chance to enter the Ultimate Kombat Kodes. This was an 12 symbol code which unlocked hidden characters. In vanilla MK III, it unlocked cyborg smoke. In UMK III, it unlocked Classic Sub Zero, Millena, and Ermac. Additionally, in UMKIII, you could unlock human smoke by holding low punch, low kick, and start when you selected cyborg smoke.

    EDIT: Everything I'm mentioning above, I didn't find out via the internet. I found out via magazines at the time. It was such a different time during the fight game craze. Magazines loved it because they became invaluable if you wanted to understand these games. You were basically rewarded for buying magazines haha.

    I remember checking out the EGM (I think?) that had the first big story on MK3, and being SO EXCITED by the first shots of the vs. screen, with the HOLY SHIT THEY LOOK REAL shots of the actors facing off.

    Wow I can't believe there is something UV, TSR, and I all agree on. MK 1 and MK3 (and all of its spinoffs) are garbage compared to the near perfection of MK2. 2 just had the right mix of new characters, interesting secrets, and a smooth engine that just worked.

    Also of note, the DOS version of MK 2 is really pretty good!

    You're totally giving me closure on so many childhood mysteries.

    And I kind of miss the times you're describing. Even though I found it infuriating at the time - It was sort of rad that there were secrets in these games that I might never, ever get to the bottom of.

    Remember when Magazines used to come with Cheat Books? Those things were like gold dust.

    Thanks to the internet, I suppose we're never going to have these things ever again.

    I heard in MKII you could turn your opponent into a little dude with some guys giant head on top? I now assume that guy would be a member of the dev team or something?

    This is only in the Sega Genesis version of the game, and it's called a Fergality. You had to be Raiden and have the cheat menu enabled, and you had to do the finishing move in the Armory stage.

    The dude you turn into... something Fergason, he was the CEO of Probe at the time, who did the genesis port.

    Hell fucking yes it was:

    img0254j.jpg

    All the dos ports were great. Midway released some awesome dos ports back in the day - WWF Wrestlemania the arcade game was similarly good. They ruled because they were so so SO close to being arcade perfect. The only real downside is that the gravis gamepad only had 4 buttons, so they had to make a few concessions. They either combined the High punch and low punch buttons, or the high kick and low kick buttons... I can't remember which.

    Regardless, it was a super accurate port, and I played the shit out of it.

    I think it was kick.

    I had it running in dosbox the other day and man I had forgotten how good it was.

    The sound is really close too.

    I can remember many summer days fighting with my brother and sister over which half of the keyboard we got until eventually I sprung for 2 gravis's myself. Still have them around somewhere despite how useless they now are.

    I'm thinking it was the kick as well because I seem to remember needing to press down and back to do a sweep instead of just back and low kick.

    Yup, it's actually a glitch. You have to have everything right, and get to Reptile during an endurance match. Once you beat him, Secret Sonya would show up.

    She was hard as fuck. Surprisingly, this glitch isn't even in the Sega CD version of the game.

    How about Pong Kombat from MK2?

    man, talking about MK II brings me back to the days where I could spend weeks dissecting every single game that came my way. If I owned it during that time, I knew EVERYTHING about it. I wouldn't just beat the game, I'd own it inside and out. Double flawless reptile in MK1 and stuff.

    I miss those days, I just don't have the time for that now.

    To be fair, though, it's obvious why they changed him in MK2. If he was just sub zero and scorpion combined, why would anybody ever be those two characters?

    anywho, thats why I always played as Shang Tsung in MK2. I only really used two morphs - block up up, and forward down forward high punch. Haha.

    Funny, MKII is the one game that always gets me thinking the exact same way. Well, not the part where I was any good, but I'll boot it up on my PS3 every now and then and be amazed that I once had every fatality, friendship, etc. memorized. Now I need a printout from GameFAQs. That stuff just isn't a smooth when you have to read it before the match.

    Also, woo HD digitized sprites. This shit is going to look crazy.

    I remember being the same way about MK2 on SNES. I made up a mode called Shang Tsung's Rise to Power.
    Basically, pick Shang and pick the hardest difficulty. And you can only morp into an enemy you defeated with the Soul Drain fatality (so first match, you couldn't morp). I had EVERYTHING memorized for that game because of doing stuff like that.

    Being a kid growing up on a military base in Illinois, I didn't really have access to any arcades when MKII came out, so I spent pretty much all of my free time staring at the move/fatality guide in an issue of GamePro, which had awesome sequential screens for all the moves and combos and such. It was such an awesome day when the home port finally came out. I had moved to California between the arcade and home ports, and being that I was fairly new in town when it came out, I spent a ridiculous amount of time learning the ins and outs of the game. It's amazing how much I've forgotten about it since then.

    I remember going apeshit when I finally pulled off Shang's Kintaro fatality.

    Yup! That's actually how I found his morphs - I remember morphing into scorpion on accident and immediately realizing it was his fatality. This was before gamepro printed any move sheets, so I tried sub zero's fatality next and it worked. It made me a master of Shang Tsung right away.

    Speaking of the Kintaro fatality, I picked up the SNES version not too long ago and I was surprised to learn that his inside-out fatality had been replaced by the Kintaro fatality. By which I mean the one where he jumped inside the person and exploded them inside out. The Kintaro fatality was a secret third one in the arcade, where you had to hold low punch for 30 seconds, meaning you had to hold it during the round. The inside-out one was holding low kick for 5 seconds outside of sweep range.

    In the SNES version, holding low kick for 5 seconds does the Kintaro fatality. So is the inside-out fatality even in the game?

    I seem to recall that you had to hold down LK for like 30 seconds to turn into Kintaro on the SNES.

    Edit: Ah-hah!
    Fatality 1- hold X (2 seconds) then release
    (Shang Tsung turns into a mist and enters the victims body,
    which explodes. Stand just within sweep range.)

    Fatality 2- U, D, U, A (hold BLOCK)
    (Tsung picks up the victim with one hand, and drains their
    life force into his other hand. Stand close.)

    Fatality 3- hold B (30 seconds) then release
    (Shang Tsung turns into Kintaro, who punches the torso of
    the victim across the screen. If you hold B from
    before the round begins, you do not need to wait the full
    30 seconds to do the fatality.)

    I remember a couple of months after MK1 hit the arcades, there was an issue of EGM that listed all of the moves, including fatalities. I painstakingly wrote them down on a sheet of paper and carried that thing with me all the time because you never knew when there would be a Mortal Kombat emergency. It was always a hit at the arcade with dudes that didn't get the magazines.

    Nah, I don't mean the original DOS releases, Midway put out a collection of their best old arcade games for PC/Console in 2004 or so, calling it Midway Arcade Treasures, with the console versions having all kinds of emulation problems. The DOS versions are pretty good though.

    Wow... those were the fucking days. I remember the very first picture I ever saw of MK1 was in an issue of EGM, before the game actually launched. I think it was Sonya facing off against Sub Zero. When my local arcade got it, there was a crowd of people ten deep surrounding it. You could beat Goro by spamming punch: he'd get hit once and stay just out of range til the round ended. And there was no ending; beat the game, go instantly back to the start screen.

    Ah, I miss being a teenager. The golden era of modern gaming.

    You guys are making me remember how bad I was into Mortal Kombat back in the day. I had the coolest Sub-Zero t-shirt and a paper binder with all the MK characters on it that I'd just sit at the back of class and trace all day because that's how kids drew damnit.

    I traced the characters using the Prima strategy guides

    The ones that didn't tell you how to do certain fatalities even though you bought the guide, and told you to check them out online at their official website

    But it was 1996 and the Internet was a strange new thing to me back then
