Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 -- $3, complete. Ehh, I passed on this one for several weeks after I first saw it, as it's just an MK game and while the theme is fun I've never really liked the gameplay of the MK series all that much, but for so cheap I eventually caved. Not sure if it was worth it yet, I'm awful at the game because this, surprisingly enough, is the first MK game I actually own... and the only 2d MK games I've played much of before this are MK1 and MK2, and this one's somewhat different. I have played a little of Trilogy, which is a lot like this, and 4, which isn't, but not that much of either, really. As for Saturn UMK3, my immediate reaction is to say that it's okay, but not great. MK special moves are confusing, they don't work like Street Fighter ones as most all Capcom and SNK fighters do, so I'm not very good at them... and of course the manual lists like two moves per character, so a guide is pretty much required if you want to do well. Not sure if I'll bother, maybe I'll just get MK2 for the Genesis or something and play that instead (I know, SNES version is better, but they're easier to find for Genesis...)... I do want the 32X version of MK2 sometime, but only if it didn't cost much.
But anyway, I got it. I think I'll be playing a lot more of Night Warriors than this one, that's for sure. :)
