Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat is the first of a very long and famous series of games (so famous to inspire a movie) for a genre that from its birth on will became a must in every coin op. It is not the first in absolute, since Street Fighter 2 gave probably the paternity to the fighting games. In any case a great success arrived to number 4 (MK4); Probably the success was due to the particular presence of the "fatality", a special movement that definitely kills the opponent, every one in a very special way.
