Mortal Kombat 3

Mortal Kombat 3 brings new elements to the 2D fighting series: multi-level playfields, Dial-A-Combo attacks, a Run button to speed up the battles, and Vs. codes, which unlock new powers and abilities once both players enter a code sequence in the pre-match screens. Also included are more stage fatalities and finishing moves as each warrior attempts to go one-on-one with the Centaurian enforcer Motaro, and Shao Kahn himself. The story begins after Shao Kahn loses to Liu Kang in the Outworld tournament. He enacts a 10,000 year-old plan and has his Shadow Priests, led by Shang Tsung, revive his former Queen Sindel in the Earth Realm. When Sindel is reincarnated, Shao Kahn reaches across the dimensions to reclaim her, and as a result the Earth Realm becomes part of the Outworld, killing billions. Rayden protects the souls of the few who are spared and tells them that Shao Kahn must be stopped. The game was released in arcades in 1995 by Midway and later came to home consoles and PC. It supports single player and multiplayer.
