Mortal Kombat 4 was the first game in the ultraviolent fighting franchise to make the move to 3D… and it shows. Ed Boon and company were definitely dealing with some growing pains as they tried to rebuild Mortal Kombat for the polygon generation.
But the game, which hasn’t been readily available on the PC for over 20 years, also has its fans, and they’re probably pretty happy right now as Mortal Kombat 4 was added to GOG.com earlier this week with a wallet-friendly $5.99 price tag:
