[Multiplatform] Mortal Kombat Armageddon, for all five MK fans

Hey, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was a good game. Completely unrelated to the actual fighting games, but it was fun in and of itself.

The only reason the ninjas looked the same in the old games is because when they started out, they didnt have enough memory on the cartridges so they made 1 character and just swapped the color palette on each for ever ninja.

You mean on the arcade boards? Because you do know the Mortal Kombat games were arcade games at first, right?

I think it's more likely that they simply didn't want to have to hire any additional actors or design more costumes than they had to. So, they just had the one guy in the ninja costume do the poses for four characters at once, then used whatever stood in for Photoshop back in the day to adjust the palette. One actor becomes four! After all, you can't tell it's the same guy when he has a mask on, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
