Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat (commonly abbreviated to MK) is an American fighting game series created by Midway Games (now known as NetherRealm Studios) that is best known for its excessively graphic content that ultimately contributed to the founding of the ESRB rating system. The first entry to the series, known simply as Mortal Kombat, was released in arcades on October 8th 1992 and featured digitized graphics instead of the usual hand-drawn sprites present in other fighting games at the time. Mortal Kombat 4 was the first game in the series to use 3D models. The latest game in the series is Mortal Kombat 11.

Various Mortal Kombat characters already exist in M.U.G.E.N, with the majority using digitized sprites from the first Mortal Kombat games.
