    • @GravelLeft
      @GravelLeft Před 8 lety +7

      +Spastik2D It's probably because there is no in-game music in Big Rigs, so it would feel unnatural to have music playing whenever there's a shot that not an in-game shot, if you know what I mean.
      In the Sega CD video there's music in the games, so adding some music to fill in the quiet in between the in-game shots sounds natural ^^''

    This was a 3D game with 2D motion so there's no need for the button swapping directions. Just make it so you can walk backwards if you hold an extra button and then if you don't your motion changes which way you face.

Only issue is that once you get a little further and die, you go all the way back. Extreamely frustraiting game but extreamely nostalgic for me. (Had the PSX version.

      I agree. Aside from Shaolin Monks and MK vs. DC, Mortal Kombat went through a very big dork age throughout the 2000's, which led me to think that Midway was just trying to ruin the MK franchise, like they created it and they wanted to destroy it.

      That's why people make fun of them. They skipped over 9.

      Only if you count MK vs DC as MK 8, which I don't.

      I googled it. Apparently MK vs DC was actually supposed to be 8...

    Haha, i remember that kid on the block who had a page printed out from somewhere with all the moves and fatalities. Always sounded like some kind of legendary treasure.

    Man I loved this game on the PSX. It was hard to beat and yes it was cryptic but with a walkthrough guide I was able to get through it without too much trouble.

    Fun fact: The speed run record for this game is actually held by the only person to ever complete the game without killing themselves.

    This my favorite MK game and in my opinion the most important when it comes to Mk lore. The score is amazing too, coincidentally it got me into ambient music at an early age.

    One of my favorite episodes. No matter how many times I watch it, it makes me bust out laughing.
