Characters from the past come back to the arena for one more battle. What Mortal Kombat Trilogy brings to the series is a combination of all three games rolled into one. When Midway released the first game, it gained notoriety from game players for its digitized graphics and cool special moves, but gained a reputation as being one of the most violent video games ever created. The Mortal Kombat series has become somewhat of a leg-end-a fighting game that unlike Street Fighter II, Virtua Fighter or Tekken, originated in the U.S.
