Mortal Kombat

The Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat was a mini-success story for Sega. This is because the SNES version, at the time in direct competition with Sega’s console, opted for strict censorship, removing blood, toning down fatalities and creating a far less “violent” product. The Mega Drive version was considerably more faithful to the arcade original, and was the preferred choice at the time by consumers.
