Gaming History You Should Know – Mortal Kombat Lost Media August 10, 2025

It’s Sunday, and that means it’s time for a new Gaming History You Should Know! If this is your first time here, this series is where we highlight some of the best independently produced gaming documentaries from across the web. Today, we’re going to be highlighting a documentary produced by FAIRWAYx who has a fantastic YouTube Channel about Mortal Kombat lore.

Mortal Kombat had the unique beginnings as one of the best Arcade fighting games of all time, and eventually became noteworthy (or notorious depending on who you ask) for presenting violence to a player as an outcome of their actions. It has since gone on over the past decades with many more arcade releases, home console games, spin offs, webseries, and multiple theatrically released films. A franchise that rich with content is going to also have some projects that never saw completion, and the video below is going to talk about what those were! Give it a watch!

I will admit that Mortal Kombat has been one of the last remaining arcade machines from my childhood that I have not added to my personal home arcade/VR space, and there’s a reason for that. At some point, I’m hopeful that Arcade1Up releases an all-new Mortal Kombat 4 home machine.
