* [[Sleeper Hit]]: ''Mortal Kombat'' was not intended to be the tentpole franchise for Midway, but only to fill a gap in their arcade schedule. The game was developed by a team of only four members (programmer Ed Boon, artists John Tobias and John Vogel, and sound guy [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Dan "Toasty" Forden]]) in a 10-month dev cycle. Due to not being an overly important project, the team had green light to do what they wanted, which meant they had a lot of freedom to make the game stand out via [[Rule of Cool]]. The rest is history. |
