I've talked about it before on here with Primal Rage, give me some giant monster Kaiju mayhem in my video games, and I'm likely down for it. And one of the granddaddies of that is Bally Midway's Rampage. Oddly, I didn't play this one in the arcades until way later in life and grew up with the NES version, so when I read that there was a third…

While MKII remains one of my favorite entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 3 was a more pivotal game in terms of lore, and for good and bad reasons (the reasons are of my own opinion, mind you). The arcades were still booming at this time and fighting games were in the beginning of their golden age. Mortal Kombat remained a viable western alternative…
