In 1992 a fighting videogame called Mortal Kombat was launched, featuring graphics and movements based on real actors and a high level of blood and violence.

This new approach to fighting games caused a total revolution, which in turn gave place to many subsequent titles. A few Mortal Kombat fans decided to create a completely free version of this game using the M.U.G.E.N. gaming engine and including all the characters that have appeared along the Mortal Kombat series.

Mortal Kombat Project features more than 30 characters with all their special movements and the so called "Fatalities". However it's still in beta, so it has some bugs. Regarding graphics, the game includes Mortal Kombat III models, which are considered to be the best of the whole series before going 3D.
