Shao Khan's at it again with another try at taking Earth through tournament battle.

Welcome to the third and final Mortal Kombat game on SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis). There is actually another Mortal Kombat 3 game on SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) simply called ''Mortal Kombat 3'' but it has all the good fighters left out, thank goodness they brought out ''Ultimate'' Mortal Kombat 3 with all the good fighters in it this time. I noticed that all the game characters who were played by the choreographer actors from the previous first two Mortal Kombat games and were later fired from midway are all absent from the original Mortal Kombat 3.

Daniel Persina: (fired in 1994) originally played Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Smoke, Silhouette Noob Saibot and Johnny Cage. These fighters are all missing from the original ''Mortal Kombat 3''

Katalin Zamiar: (fired or left Midway in 1994 and later tryed to sue Midway in 1997) originally played Kitana, Mileena and Jade who are also all missing from the original ''Mortal Kombat 3''.

I'm guessing that Ho Sung Pak who originally played ''Liu Kang'' decided to leave Midway in 1994 but luckly a replacement was brought in to play the new Liu Kang for ''Mortal Kombat 3''.

Some characters were brought back though like Elizabeth Malecki's ''Sonya Blade'' who is now played by Kerri Hoskins for Mortal Kombat 3 and Shang Tsung who is now played by new actor John Turk. Ed Boon and John Tobias (MK creaters) must have realized finally after the release of the original ''Mortal Kombat 3'' that John Turk would be the best choice for the choreographer actor in order to bring back the classic Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile and all the other male masked ninjas. A replacement by the name of Becky Gable was brought in to play the female masked ninjas (Kitana, Millena and Jade). So that pretty much explains why alot of the classic fighters are missing from the original Mortal Kombat 3 and so with the new actors and changes being made and finalized in 1995, Midway released this beast of a fighting game called ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3''.

Enter the world of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and discover what awaits you...
