After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.
A significant part of the first Mortal Kombat's identity was in its tone, mystique and outrageous presentation.
Remember the first time you saw & heard an uppercut?
The explosive impact..
The announcer's wicked laugh..
The "DUN DUN DUN" before a fatality?
Remember the amazing music that defined the atmosphere of the fighting arenas?
That was all Dan.
You may also know him as the (now infamous) "Toasty Guy" but Dan's audio single handedly created a literal atmosphere that played a major role in the feel and vibe of Mortal Kombat.
Please watch and (more importantly) listen to this video. Anything sound familiar? Bring back any memories? I hope you'll join us in thanking Dan for his amazing contributions to MK, and games in general.
I'm in. I see a lot of comments about Gold missing, and I totally agree, however I do think as a klassic games package this is pretty awesome.
Plus you can rewind, so you don't suffer through Mythologies! SZ π

@TheLewisTan That's awesome, hope someone can track down more of the footage for you, Lewis. From the small clip posted, I want to see more! Shame it was never a full release, the premise following Kung Jin interests me quite a bit as a big fan of Kung Lao and Jin.
New video taking a look at how Noob Saibot has evolved since his debut in Mortal Kombat! I love his new look in MK1!

Went to the pyramid for the Titan battle and it just gave me the skin and marked as complete, I'm assuming this isn't supposed to be happening?

A lot of the MK community is divided on Smokes MK Deception skin.
Growing up playing MK Deception, I LOVED Noob/Smoke and always thought Smoke had one of the best looks in the game.
Where do you stand on it?
