If I could choose any Mortal Kombat game to put on GOG. I strongly felt it's gonna be Mortal Kombat: Deception. Not to insult those that liked either Mortal Kombat: Armageddon or vs. DC Universe respectively. To me this was the last great classic MK universe game. It's very important to note some versions adds stuff to the game. I originally had this on PS2 myself. I did get it on GameCube and PSP as Mortal Kombat: Unchained. These versions adds a handful of characters to the roster. The Krypt has a little more depth than Deadly Alliance version. Konquest Mode was easily my favorite among those. You play as Shujinko on a journey traveling the realms. This was a precursor to later MK's Story Modes. You actually get a very decent story with plenty of surprises hidden in the realms. This is so filled with content it's absolutely ridiculous. I rather play this over so many MK games again honestly. I'll accept any version they were able to get onto GOG. Personally I felt the ideal version has to be recreated to a degree. Essentially give us a newer version of Mortal Kombat: Unchained. If they could exclude DLCs that would greatly improve sells. Especially how both MK11 and MK1's DLCs are upsetting people. There's a huge variety of everything you possibly could ask for. It's easily one of the greatest 3D fighting games ever!!!
I have countless hours on this game, bring this and the whole ps2 era of mortal kombat games back.I like the new ones but I go back to theses from time to time.
To me this is my 1st and fav Mortal Kombat game I love! before the story mode added to the recent NRS games. I enjoyed the simplicity and the open world of Konquest mode. It's something especial for me this game. the dark vibe and expanded lore alongside with Armageddon, Deadly Alliance made it this trilogy of the 3d era special and unique. Spended countless of hours playing those and especially Deception, unlocking the stages, characters and the mini games of Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat were so fun to keep more hours of entertainment and of also I love it the fighting styles system in this game. I would really love to see Deception arriving for the first time to GOG and a dream come true to revive these classic gem of Mortal Kombat on PC.
**Why *Mortal Kombat: Deception* on GOG Needs the GameCube Port — The Best GameCube Fighter Ever with Goro**
*Mortal Kombat: Deception* is already one of the best fighting games in the *MK* franchise, but the **GameCube port**? That version takes it to another level—because it brings **Goro** and **Shao Kahn** back into the arena, making it the ultimate version and arguably the **best fighting game on the GameCube**.
Released in 2004, *Deception* built on everything that made *Deadly Alliance* great and pushed it further with **interactive 3D arenas**, brutal stage fatalities, **multi-tiered stages**, and a faster, more refined combat system. But when the GameCube version dropped in 2005, it surprised fans by including two exclusive legends: Goro, the four-armed Shokan prince, and Shao Kahn, the brutal emperor himself. For Goro fans like you, that’s a huge deal—his presence alone adds major replay value and a nostalgic punch of pure power.
The GameCube port wasn’t just a lazy re-release. It was **polished**, ran smoothly, and included all the content from other versions plus the exclusive characters. It had **Konquest Mode**, a semi-open world RPG-style adventure that was way ahead of its time, **Chess Kombat** for strategic fun, and **Puzzle Kombat** for casual breaks. The variety in gameplay was unmatched, and no other fighter on the system packed that much content.
Deception’s tone was darker, the fatalities were gorier, and the lore expanded in epic ways. It was *MK* at its most creative, and the GameCube version was its most complete form.
Bringing *Deception*—specifically the **GameCube version**—to GOG would finally let PC players experience the **definitive edition**, DRM-free, optimized, and featuring **Goro in all his glory**. It's a must for fans of the series, GameCube-era fighting games, and anyone who wants to relive one of the boldest chapters in *Mortal Kombat* history.
I recall playing this with my brother during the summer of 2005. I spent the entire summer playing this game and trying to unlock every character. Thanks to this game, I had the nicest summer. This is basically the last amazing summer I would have for years. It's a shame this was never released on PC. I hope WB/Netherrealm Studios can bring this and other earlier titles to new platforms and PC.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of HeroesIn this game, players engage in combat with a team of 2 characters or with a single giant character and attempt to knock out their opponents. It is the 7th Capcom-designed installment in their Vs. fighting game series, which includes the Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK series, and the first to be fully rendered in 3D graphics. The game is set in a 2.5D environment; characters fight in a two-dimensional arena, but character models and backgrounds are rendered in three-dimensional graphics. The game is designed around a simplified three-button attack system, which was inspired by the simplistic control schemes commonly used by both the Vs. series and the Wii.
This is a direct port of the original Arcade game (that use Wii-based hardware) of the same name and was released only in Japan 2 years prior to the international updated version "Ultimate All-Stars".Action

Die Hard ArcadeDie Hard Arcade is a beat 'em up for two players, who play as either John McClane or Chris Tompsen (Bruno Delinger and Cindy Holiday in the original Japanese version). Players fight their way through waves of enemies, using their fists, feet, and a variety of weapons that can be collected from enemies or the environment, from household items such as brooms and pepper shakers to high-damage missile launchers and anti-tank cannons. Most weapons are automatically lost at the end of each action scene, but hand guns can be retained so long as they have ammunition remaining. The typical level structure is a number of minions the player must defeat in many rooms, followed by a boss. Bosses can be anything from human minions of White Fang to spider robots. Quick Time Events are interspersed between many of the scenes. In these events, the player(s) may be running and turning a corner and they face an enemy, so they must perform a designated command to avoid being injured or to help defeat an enemy. In some cases failing a Quick Time Event will result in loss of health, as is usual for QTEs, but failing most will put the player characters into an additional action scene which they otherwise would not have to complete. Cut scenes are interspersed into the action.Action
