Midway and Acclaim. I remember cause in the home versions of MK 1 and 2 Goro and Kintaro beat up the Acclaim logo.

the home versions of mk 1 and 2 were done by acclaim...but poorly copied by the arcade versions midway made...

So you're saying Midway copied Acclaim by making arcade versions of MK 1 & 2?

Acclaim had the rights to develop the home versions of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. Midway didn't work on any of the home versions until Deadly Alliance I think.

Acclaim handled the home versions of 1 and 2. I think Williams did 3 and Eurocom (or something like that) did 4. Midway did 1-4 for the arcades and Deadly Alliance for the home systems (well, I don't think they did the Game Boy Advance version).

Wrong forum, dude.

Yeah it is the wrong forum, by anyway.

Midway owns the rights to ALL Mortal Kombat games, in terms of devlopment, and arcade implimentation. So all base builds of the games are midways. Acclaim, Williams, and Eurocome, come in when Midway agreed to give liscening to them to "develop" maybe more accuratly port the games to the home systems. However, they own the rights to the game on the home systems, not actualy the game itself. There was a huge mess with this whole ordeal, and is actualy one reason for the two spellings of Rayden (raiden).
In short, MK was never MADE by acclaim, simply ported to the SNES, and sega.

This belongs in the Classic MK Games Discussion forum.
