  • El Oriente, Femmes Fatales Y Militarismo En Mortal Kombat Género E Ideología En El Outworld
    Revista LUTHOR Nro. 28 p. 36 El oriente, femmes fatales y militarismo en Mortal Kombat Género e ideología en el Outworld Matías Alderete ”(...) I love the combination of a western world meets this eastern supernatural world. That played a part in Mortal Kombat’s story, and it all came together. I think that’s when Mortal Kombat worked its best. It was this realistic western world with this supernatural eastern world, and it was that combination, I think, that worked real well for us.” John Tobías, Co-creador de Mortal Kombat. Juego al Mortal Kombat desde que tengo 6 o 7 años. Tardes enteras memo- rizando movimientos, estrategias, combos. En ese momento, no podía saber ISSN: 1853-3272 http://revistaluthor.com.ar Revista LUTHOR Nro. 28 p. 37 bien que me hacía preferir este fighting game sobre otros. Me llamaban la atención los gráficos, pero no era eso; tampoco eran las fatalities, ese movi- miento final que acababa con tu rival de manera absoluta. Ciertamente me gustaba la historia del juego, algo que pocos juegos de lucha podían esgrimir hace más de dos décadas, pero no entendí muy bien ese nudo hasta muchos años más adelante. Hoy, más de dos décadas después, me encuentro jugando el último juego: actualmente, esta saga ha vendido, en todas sus iteraciones a través de varias consolas, aproximadamente 35 millones de unidades; su última entrega, titulado Mortal Kombat X, ha vendido cerca de 4 millones de unidades en sus versiones de Playstation 4 y Xbox One.1 Hoy puedo dar cuenta de algo que hacía que este juego me atrape más que otros: sus personajes.

  • Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory?
    Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory? Back in 1992, I was a prepubescent pre-teenager whose life revolved around sporadic trips to the local arcades and at-home mastery of whatever Nintendo games I could get my hands on. I stuck mainly with fighting games, because those were the ones that earned a player a local sense of fame and recognition within the arcade culture. At the time, I was becoming bored with the most popular game, Street Fighter 2, and my stints at the arcade were becoming less and less frequent. But along came a game that ushered us back into the local arcade and changed the entire community there. Many players, including myself, were content to simply watch this game for hours. Weíd pop quarters in every now and then to take a stab at it ourselves, but the real fun came from watching others play and simply taking in the scene. Without giving too much of this paper away, the game was Mortal Kombat. It was created by Midway Games and strengthened the booming arcade business at the time. Fast-forward to the present and this recent press release from March 6th, 2001 ( HYPERLINK http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010306/2576.html http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010306/2576.html): Midway Games Inc., a leading interactive entertainment software company, today announced that it has reduced its coin-operated video game work force by approximately 60 employees (about 8% of the company's total employee base) in an effort to cut overhead costs in light of current coin-op industry conditions.
