Alright this is the genesis Port of Mk1 . I will not start with a intro. 

Plot a Shalion Dragon/human  by The Name of Goro  Had Defeated The Great Kung Lao . And Retained his championship For 500 years. Goro Then Becamed Corrupt by Shang Tsungs Sorcery  .   The Reason for This  Was Shang Tsung got Banished Into the Earth realm By his Master Shao khan of The out world  . And since Shang Tsung  had Corrupted Goro  To make him come to his aid. Shang tsung was ordered by Shao Khan to Unbalance the Furies of Earth realm. And Doom the Planet to A Chaotic  existence . So Now you Must Pick 1 of 7  Mortal Kombat characters. And Defeat Shang Tsung to Save Earth realm .  

 .  Graphics Alright Taking a look at  the Genesis Version of The Mortal kombat game .  well again  This game was Made by Probe Software which was  a pretty sloppy company back in the day. As fair as the genesis port goes. Sprites or Characters are missing some frames making the characters. Move about 1 or 2 parts of frame animations. And Some details like The Mountains in The Courtyard And The animated clouds In The Shaolin Temple  had been removed. But if you actually look at it game The Sprites rather are not that bad and Stages are really colorful and although some details are missing the stages are still nice looking. Graphics gets a 7 for the reason said above .

Sound.  Probe software somehow could not include the arcade sound effects. Which Does not make sense  even with Mortal kombat 3 on the system sounding Scratchy .Sculptured software managed to include some of the arcade Sound effects from that game.  there Are about few voices you get in the game. Which kind of takes away the fun and Greatness of The original Mortal Kombat game I mean The grunts  and screams are 1 of the main features that made Mortal kombat great. Moving on from the Few little Samples Included in this console port. Probe software Rather made a really nice and arranged or remixed soundtrack . That takes advantage of the  Genesis.S Midi Format Capabilities and the Yama Sound chip. My favorite tune is The Courtyard. If you would ask me how good the music sounds. I cant really find a good way of Describing it. Its best you Google 1 of the genesis songs. Sound gets a 7  Although lacking a lot of samples. The Music is really rather well done. 

Addictiveness Some may say that  The  smd port of this port takes away the experience  but I always enjoyed mortal kombat for its fun responive controls good soundtrack . oh yeah and most importantly the gore. Addictiveness gets a 10  even when you beat the game it just seems like you would wanna play more .

Story explained it in Plot  I rate the story a 7 not a bad story line 

Depth Really not much to say about depth in this game . Besides a cheat menu  ,  But it actually seems that The genesis port or The actual arcade original Mortal kombat was meant to be beaten in 1 sitting u basically get like 13 matches. Then the final bosses .  Depth gets a 6 its between short and long.

Difficulty 3. I'm not joking but This port is very easy .Even on hard. As I Said before t seems Like mk1 was meant to be beaten in 1 sitting.   Controls are perfect for this game with the 6 button layout. They are very responsive 

Overall 8.2 is my final rating. For This game until next time keep an eye out for more reviewing
