Mortal Kombat I & II for Game Boy, released in 1998, is a fighting game that brings the classic tournament battles to a handheld platform. Players choose from a roster of fighters, each with unique moves and fatalities, to compete in one-on-one matches. The main objective is to defeat all opponents in the tournament to become the ultimate Mortal Kombat champion.
The game features a fast-paced combat system focused on executing combos and special attacks. A distinctive mechanic is the inclusion of "Fatalities," finishing moves that require specific button inputs to perform, adding a strategic layer to the fights. Due to hardware limitations, this version simplifies some controls but retains the core experience of the series.
An unusual aspect of Mortal Kombat I & II on Game Boy is how it adapts the traditionally graphic and complex fighting sequences to a portable, monochrome screen while maintaining the essence of the franchise. This results in a unique blend of classic Mortal Kombat gameplay with the constraints of the handheld device.
