Did the lack of blood in SNES Mortal Kombat 1 bother you?

[CCCP alert]

Whilst I found it childish for the big N to make it flying green sweat/bogies it actually plays fine and looks nicer than the MegaDrive port and was pretty nippy. If it really bothered me there was always the action replay hack that changed the green to red splatter anyway. I'm sure they ultimately paid for it with a dip in console sales.

You?

I owned the snes and genesis when Mortal Kombat was released,I wanted the snes version because of better gfx but when I found out no blood I purchased the genesis version.So for me it effected my purchase.

There was a patch for those who had Super Magicom / Super Wildcards

No not at all. Could just play the PC version for that The SNES version was exclusively played two player and you don't pay attention to such petty details when you're sweating trying to be a frame faster than your opponent and getting blocks in with split second timing.

It was top Nintendo anyway, you could still do fatalities. Ripping out spine: yeah go on mate. Red pixels: No soup for you!

There is a long lost SNES version called Nitro which was never released. There are allegedly two copies of it. This version has blood and some cool fatalities (allegedly). There are some shots of it on YouTube but not a ROM or anything that we can play, sadly.

Edit - the other holy grail vintage gaming item for me would be the Arcade NBA-JAM with Michael Jordan. I was reading that a few of those exist out in the wild, I think MJ owns one.

And some magazine printed a pretty lengthy mod for Action Replay owners to change the green 'sweat' to red I remember lol

It put me off Nintendo as a company more than it did the game from what I remember, plus MK II fixed the issue but Sonya Blade in MK1 was hot!!

and as Gimbal said I too had a crack copy for the PC/Amiga anyway at the time
