“Wouldn’t want my ten-year-old” playing it.
Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has revealed that he sympathised with much of the outrage that surrounded the release of the first game in his ultra-violent fighting franchise.
Speaking with Xbox World magazine about the original game, as reported by CVG, Boon admitted “I wouldn’t want my ten-year-old kid playing a game like that.”
The release of Mortal Kombat in arcades way back in 1992 shocked many with its outrageous ‘fatalities’ that saw heads lopped off, spines torn out and pulsating hearts gleefully torn from rib cages.
