So which is it...Donkey Kong or Mortal Kombat?

[Sussudio]

Kid: Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis is the best video game ever.
Billy: I disagree, it's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
Kid: Donkey Kong sucks.
Billy: You know something YOU SUCK


K...so...

Voted for DK. I personally hate fighter games (button smashers) with a passion.

[Ferris]

Donkey Kong with all of his barrels.
I've never beat DK, but did beat MK several times.

DK all the way,
anybody remember the DK song "Clap your hands in the air,stomp your feet on the ground,climb up the ladder and spin yourself around , open the umbrella and answer the phone you can do it with a partner or do it all alone." the title was "Do the Donkey Kong"
it was released on a video game album back in the early 80's. Had a good beat,guess that is why I remeber it.

OG Donkey FTW!!!!!! I'm talking about the arcade version, although I have other versions on proceeding consoles which are OK if nothing else.

Mortal Kombat was a clone of SFII, and nowhere near as good...for starters...lest we forget the standard Sega Genesis controllers were awful and didn't "truly" support a fighting game format.

Donkey Kong by a country mile, Mortal Kombat is highly overrated.

For all the haters.....


FINISH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUB-ZERO WINS...FLAWLESS VICTORY!

[brettallica]

The best part about Mortal Kombat was the gore. I'll give it props for that.

BTW: let's be true to the "MK" abbreviation... that belongs to Mario Kart!!!!!

[bhampton]

I always loved Donkey Kong.

Esp in the arcades in the 80's.

Never cared for Mortal Combat and most of it's clones.

(But.. I do like Soul Calibur.)

[jono_0101]

HAHAHA, classic. I love Billy Madison. I voted Mortal Kombat. Best Donkey Kong game I ever played was Donkey Kong Country on the super nintendo. That games graphics were awesome!

[PH3AR]

DK ALL THE WAY!

[Moefiz]

DK and PacMan remember playing these in the arcade back in the good old days...

[phlydude]

DK had 2 boards...granted, they got progressively harder but it was the same thing over and over and was more geared to the arcade unless you had a colecovision (back when the game originally came out)

Mortal Kombat was an arcade hit that translated well into the 16-bit home video market at the time - the technology wasn't really there to carry out long stories without them being cartoony so something that looked pretty realistic (for the time) was a big hit and got a lot more play among the masses.

But I will say the SNES version of Mortal was better than Sega's...mainly for the controller and the extra buttons it provided to allow more combos and finishing moves.

[SellmeyourDVD]

Are we talking about the series or just the first installments?

I think for both, MK by a mile, but i do love Donky Kong for the 64 (wasn't that what it was called? Donkey Kong 64?)

How can you mess with Kano ripping your heart out and eating it??????
