**Why *Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance* Needs to Be on GOG and Is the First Masterpiece of the 3D MK Era** *Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance* was more than just the fifth mainline MK game—it was a bold reinvention of the franchise and the first true **masterpiece** of the 3D era under Ed Boon’s creative direction. Bringing it to GOG would not only preserve an iconic turning point in fighting game history but also introduce new players to a title that redefined what *Mortal Kombat* could be. Released in 2002, *Deadly Alliance* ditched the outdated arcade formula and rebuilt MK from the ground up. It introduced **fluid 3D fighting mechanics**, individual martial arts stances per fighter, and a deep combo system that rewarded skill and strategy. Each character had **three unique fighting styles**—two hand-to-hand and one weapon-based—making combat feel more tactical than ever before. This was a massive step forward for MK and one that made it stand out from its contemporaries. The roster was a fresh mix of classic favorites like Scorpion and Sub-Zero alongside newcomers like Kenshi and Li Mei. It also marked the shocking death of series mainstays Liu Kang and Shao Kahn in the opening cinematic, showing that *Deadly Alliance* was willing to take bold storytelling risks that paid off. It was also the first MK to feature the **Krypt system**, giving players unlockables in an engaging way that became a franchise staple. With an amazing soundtrack, dark gothic visuals, and a narrative that finally pushed MK’s lore forward, this title became a fan favorite for good reason. Bringing *Deadly Alliance* to GOG would preserve this milestone in gaming history—DRM-free, optimized, and ready for a new generation to see how Mortal Kombat earned its brutal second wind. It wasn’t just a comeback—it was the foundation for everything MK would become.

my first MK game ever, this and the other 3d era mk games are my favorite. Sucks that neatherealm studios have essentially forgotten these games as we've never gotten a re-release/remaster.

All of the Mortal Kombat games have have been memorable experiences throughout my life in gaming. I would love to see all of them released on PC so that others like myself (or potential future fans) can play them without the restrictions of owning ancient and expensive hardware, or having to resort to other means that may not provide a uniform and ideal experience. Every single game in the Mortal Kombat franchise has a massive fan base, even Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. I am bewildered as to why the studio refuses to acknowledge certain games, even though they are a part of one of the most successful franchises of all time.
Unfortunately, the 3D era MK games are almost completely unavailable except on original hardware with fewer and fewer used discs available. These are a memorable evolution of one of the most important fighting game series ever.
Those games also need your vote!

Renegade
RenegadeUnlike Technos' subsequent game Double Dragon, the playing field is limited to one two-screen-wide area (a subway platform, a harbor, an alley, a parking lot and the hideout of a gang) and does not scroll continuously. Out of the four stages in the game, the first, second and third each begin with the player fighting a group made up of two different types of small fry enemies: one with fewer hit points and a stronger attack (usually armed with a weapon) and one with more hit points, but with a weaker attack and the ability to grab the player from behind, making him vulnerable to other enemies' attacks. When only three underlings remain (in any combination of the two) their boss will come in from the sidelines and join the fight. When the boss is defeated, any remaining enemies retreat off the bottom of the screen, and the stage ends. The second stage follows this same formula, but begins with a series of enemies riding motorcycles trying to run the player down, and brings in the normal enemies once the bikers have been defeated. The third stage is a gang of women; their boss is a very large woman who cannot easily be knocked to the ground. The fourth stage features a single type of knife-wielding enemy who can kill the player with one hit. Once the player has defeated this first wave of enemies, the main character proceeds to enter a building at the far right of the stage. There, he faces three more knife-wielding enemies and the final boss, a mobster whose gunfire is also deadly with one hit. Once the final boss is defeated, the main character exits the building and is greeted by his rescued girlfriend, who proceeds to give him a kiss. The game then begins the next cycle with an increased difficulty. In addition to an eight-direction joystick, there are three buttons; left attack, right attack, and jump. Pressing the attack in the direction the character is facing will punch, while attacking in the opposite direction will perform a rear kick. Jumping, followed immediately by one of the attack buttons, which will perform a jumping kick in the direction of the attack. Pressing the joystick twice quickly either left or right will cause the player to run, at which point attacking in the direction of the run will perform a running punch, jumping will automatically perform a flying kick, and attacking in the opposite direction will bring the player to a sudden halt and perform a back-kick. Pressing down over a downed enemy will make the player sit on top of the enemy, at which point attacking toward the enemy will cause the player to pummel him. The bosses can only be sat on if all normal enemies have been defeated, and unless the boss' energy level is low enough, he'll throw the player off.

Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka
Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no BankaShin Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka is a beat 'em up in the Kunio / Nekketsu High series. The eternal rebel Kunio and his pal Riki finally get to face the long arm of the law when they get both arrested for killing a couple of bystanders in a hit-and-run incident. Problem is they are innocent and the lookalike killers are still out there! Kunio and his pal now have to break out of the prison and go kick some butt in the name of justice (and to clear their names of course). Gameplay involves defeating all opponents using your arsenal of attacks and special moves and completing the many side scrolling stages that make up the game, usually after beating an end level boss. Kunio and Riki are not alone in their quest, as their hard boiled girlfriends, Misako and Kyoko, can join up and provide their unique collection of special moves to the mix. Biking sequences in which you try to get to another part of town while fending-off opponents Road Rash-style are also added for additional gameplay and the game uses several non-interactive cutscenes and dialogues to carry the plot forward.
