Mortal Kombat 4

Mortal Kombat 4 is a one on one fighting game, similar to the other Mortal Kombat games, but it is the first game in the series with 3D character models. The player can choose from 15 different fighters at the start and unlock several more later on. Many fighters from earlier games in the series return, such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, while new fighters join in, including Fujin, Jarek and Kai. Shinnok is the main evil character of this game, and Goro returns as a boss. The story is set thousands of years before the first game. Shinnok, one of the Elder Gods, once tried to conquer all the realms and was defeated by the thunder god Raiden, who sent him to the Netherrealm. Now Shinnok has escaped with the help of the sorcerer Quan Chi and seeks vengeance against the Elder Gods. He first conquers the realm of Edenia with the aid of a traitor, Tanya, and Raiden asks the Earthrealm warriors for help. The game was developed by Midway Games and Eurocom Entertainment Software and was released in 1997 for arcades, the Nintendo 64, PC, PlayStation and Dreamcast.
