The first era of Mortal Kombat games ends not with a bang, but a whimper. We finally conclude the first leg of our journey by playing Mortal Kombat: Special Forces for the Playstation. This time all three of us actually gave it a spin, and so has Final Neal of MK Podquest , who returns to help us dissect what is often considered to be the worst Mortal Kombat game. But is it really the worst? We take an honest look, have some deep conversation, talk about some movies, and Neal also gets executed.

We talk the future of Mortal Kombat in the wake of the recent MK 12 rumor and the disappointing Game Awards. The discussion goes from what we want to see to what we think we will actually see. Could there be new gameplay shakeups in the future? Or how about David Hasselhoff as a DLC character. Who knows? It could happen.

A wise person once said to truly understand something, you must start from the beginning.

We're sure someone smart said something close to that at some point in time. The point is, we go back to where it all started and do a bit of a deep dive into the original game, Mortal Kombat (1992). We talk about how the game came to be, our experiences playing the game across different platforms, and how the game changed the industry to what it is today.

Let us know what your experiences were with this groundbreaking game in the comments below!
