This is my favourite mortal kombat of all, I stopped playing after mk 3, but I’m a big fan, I still pretty much buy the games still but rarely play them.
I would play mk3 trilogy online if it was available, I’m not into the new mortal kombat and I like old school mk games that Ed Boon the creator of the original mortal kombats made, he was the best mk developer I think.
I have a PS3, PS4, and PS5, but nothing earlier from Sony. I do have all the MKs I can get, but I found I didn’t like 11. 10 was alright. The older ones are definitely better.
I played as Shang Tsung on the cd-based systems so whenever I morphed the game froze for 2 seconds to load the character I was becoming into memory lol. Then 8 seconds later when it wore off it would freeze for a second again.
Playing it on a cartridge based system was much better. I had great times with MK4 on N64 copying moves as Shinnok. In 3 I think I just went the easy route and played Sub Zero.
3 has the most memorable stages in the whole series, and you can bust through walls and ceilings like in the Subway.
