Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat surely is one of the best one-on-one fighting games ever created. Perhaps the most interesting feature of Mortal Kombat is the presence of a real player action performed by actual "living" actors. It made Mortal Kombat look so much better than any other games' graphics at the time, although still in 320x200 pixels and only 256 colors ("13h" means anything to anyone?
). I was amazed by it the first time I saw it, today as I play it again after a long time; I realize it's not THAT good looking (especially seeing the edges of the objects on screen), but I also believe it really couldn't have been done better. Two players are supported, and playing a single player game is not any less exciting. There are 7 fighters to choose from, and 2 additional "bosses" to defeat playing a single player game, so get ready to beat the crab out of them!
