It’s the same thing as the Sega Genesis version, except a few small extras: CD quality arcade music, “Music video” MK commercial at the beginning and a few extra options in the secret menu. If you want something closer to the arcade, get ahold of one of the Plug & Play units (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FISCSE/qid=1149653937/sr=8-8/ref=sr_1_8/102-7028336-7436110?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=468642)

I know many of you don’t remember the arcade version, but the graphic on the arcade version is splendid looking. Even today I still like the arcade version. The colors in the arcade version were as sharp as any of the time.
Now if you remember the Gensis version you’ll know the colors and the graphics were horrible, and the SNES version was better. But Nintendo wanted to no gore. SEGA made a cheat code for it.(this was the start of a craze in cheats) The SEGA CD version brought back all the videos only seen on the arcade version, and the bodies in the pit. The sound was the best of the systems, but yet again, not arcade exact as stated on the case. The gore was standard. Even though this wsa the best console port of this game it did not look much better then the Gensis. So it wasn’t excellent to say the least. Where the 32X accually did something to the sports meeting(not MK2 for gensis vs 32X) this seemed to just give you what you should have had in the gensis version to start. The colors are lacking seriously.
This is so far from the arcade it is closer the game gear version or even Game Boy. Still it is one of the best sports meeting to this camp system.

MK CD has a somewhat better fighting than the Sega Genesis version which the fighting engine was solid to start with. But features arcade music but I wish it was accurate with each level the courtyard theme plays in Goro’s lair. No blood code is needed because blood is in the game already. You can penetrate the same Dullard code. But between this and the Genesis version the Sega CD was a better port I’d say if you have a Sega CD get Mortal Kombat on Sega CD over the Genesis I have both but this was a smoother port.

I bought this game years after sega cd died and I thouhgt it was ok. It is just liek the arcade version and the videos in the game are dreadful. But lucky the game is exactly like the classic mk.. So if you like the first mk on the arcade you will like the game play on this one. But just to warn you the video quality in this is dreadful and the sound sometimes can be too.

Sega’s first Genesis add-on, the one time innovative Sega CD, was murdered thanks to sports meeting that took the disc format and did not anything with the gameplay but add loads of FMV elements that were barely interactive. In terms of fighting sports meeting, there weren’t a whole lot to be found for the Sega CD, with Sega’s own Eternal Champions being the best to be found for the system. The original Mortal Kombat, after already being a smash hit for the 16-bit consoles, made an appearance on the Sega CD, and the by and large experience is about as fun as it was on the Genesis. As the previous review states, this Sega CD version is basically the same as the Genesis version (only there’s no code needed to unlock the blood effects and arcade fatalities) with CD quality music and a music video. Despite the fact that this version isn’t “arcade exact” as it states to be, it’s still one of the few splendid entries in the library of the Sega CD. If you still own a Sega CD, this version of the legendary Mortal Kombat is worth looking for and picking up.
