I loved this game in the arcades. The graphics were so amazing and the executions were sick as hell. Loved the soundtrack too. It was such an underrated game. I remember not many ppl played it besides me lol. Those were some good times. Favorite characters Al' Rashid, Ichiro, Lord Deimos. This game has a special place in my heart.
I owned it for the N64. Killer graphics and the arenas we beautiful. THere was an arena when you get to fight in the water and the water splashes. My favorite fighting game ever to be honest. I no longer play games. I quit in 2010 in order to have a successful career and I did accomplish it, but have lost interest in gaming now. Al Rashid and Lord Deimos was the shit!!!!
Played this in the arcade once just because it was one of like 8 games inside my local Fudruckers. Started a match, picked Dregan, won, and then at the execution screen I remember just smacking a bunch of random buttons and somehow managed to pull off his execution. Never played it again, but it provided that fond little memory.

Damn somebody need to remake or make a sequel to this game. Im disappointed that the game industry forgets about good games like this. Maybe if we had twitter, twitch, and youtube back then this game wouldve gotten the sequels it deserves.
I've never heard of this game before until tonight when I saw a review about it in my recommendations. It mentioned there were finishing moves in the game but didn't really show much of them, like a snippet perhaps. Anyway I searched for the finishers and I'll be honest, I haven't felt scared like this since I saw Mortal Kombat for the first time. Al-rashid's execution was so ef-ing brutal yo, how many times he sliced that persons body mixed with background music was just so stunning/horrifying.
Yeah, turning an opponent into a chicken is not an execution. Not unless the Colonel is going to take him/her to the slaughterhouse to make him/her into more original recipe chicken.
Some of the sound designs for these executions are lacking. Some of them sound like they’re making as much impact as a gentle knock on someone’s front door.
Discovered this on a family holiday in Ibiza on arcade in hotel bk in 98, needless to say I didn’t see a lot of sun, bought it straight away when back so underrated
I was all about Lord Deimos and his brutality. Even took that name for a while whenever I needed a name for games and such. I only ever played it in the arcades though, and sadly I didn't know it existed on N64 until long after that system's lifespan.
Ost is godly compared to MK4. Stage design is amazing as well. I love MK but id rather play Mace over Mk deadly alliance - Armageddon. Much more interesting cast of characters, locations and back story for a "first" in the series.
The graphics in Mace, were indeed phenomenal ( I'd say even on par with Tekken 3 ) but the gameplay looks stiff in some areas. MK4 only had terrible graphics, because of the console ports, whereas the arcade version, had a stronger gpu .
@@JumugiDesunra it's far superior to Tekken 3 (arcade vers). In Tekken 3 the whole hardware is rendering the fighters, backgrounds are images... This one is full 3D and if you look closely, even fighters are more detailed (better and filtered textures, more polygons). This game runs on a much better hardware than a PS or a n64 though. The Atari Seattle is based on a MIPS R5000 (like PS2's Emotion Engine) and two 3DFX custom chips.
This game was freaking insane back in the day. I remember the subwoofers in this game took over the whole arcade. Whenever anyone performed an execution, everyone came running to see it xD
Remember this being at the local theater, also advertised in a PS1 Gamepro special issue 1997, but never actually got ported to PS1 much sadness ensued over the decades :*(
I remember when the game came out, there was some hype that it would turn into a franchise but it was just that. A solo game, and nothing was ever heard from it again. Sad, there could have been some talent with a medieval style fighting game. It was a little ground-breaking if you consider the fact that environment damage was something that Virtua Fighter did at the time and executions was almost only Mortal Kombat.
I've never even heard about this game... this is yet another clone of Mortal Kombat that I've learned... I can't wait to find more. Seems like Mortal Kombat was so damn popular and revolutionary back then that so many clones are made of that legacy. I wonder if this game is available in some console... maybe PS1?
had it for the n64 (before knowing it was an arcade game) it looked at least as good as this video... maybe it's the compression but i'm sure the n64 didn't look as 'murky' either. I liked it.. and fighters destiny, both worth playing.
ps - if you want an actual MK clone, look at 'way of the warrior'... that game really did rip off all the characters and moves. Mace in my opinion was quite different.

Mi ricordo imparai la fatality di Lord daimons guardandola 1 sola volta da uno che ci giocava , dato che non c'era internet per documentarsi ma solo riviste di videogames, bisognava arrangiarsi XD ...bei tempi
+PanamericanistaM0R3Na The first Mortal Kombat came in1992, and Mace on 1997. But the first Mortal Kombat 3D (MK4) also came in 1997. Both games are made by the same developer (Midway).
One of my favorite games as a child.... Favorite player was Xiao Long, there was a cheat code to turn him into a janitor and he would fuck everybody up with his broom! This... Diddy Kong Racing and Zelda: Ocarina of Time got me through middle school
Yeah, I'm not sure about the arcade version but on the N64 if you spun the joystick clockwise on the violence warning screen you unlock Gar and Ichiro.
at 0:45, where is Taria's level with the water and lightning , are these cheats because some of these levels I never seen. The graphics almost look even better...was this ever on a different platform besides N64?
Mordos Kull Fatality is in Taria's level 0:15 and that level in 0:45 is the Mini Golf level, is a cheat even in the n64 console version. Check for all the info in google
If someone worked in the defunct midway I have a question, does anyone know the reason or reasons why said company did not launch a playstation edition of this game and only ported it for nintendo 64? explanations are accepted in this regard Thank you
Not a Midway employee but, it was probably because of its poor reception and the console version as far as I know never had any revisions since the one I have is Ver. 1.0
i like how Koyasha stabs the opponent so many times the sound gives up halfway through. xD
Xd
a mixture of mortal kombat and soul calibur
É um game que a Neatherrealm poderia ressuscitar
I think you meant to say Soul Blade, since this game came out before SoulCalibur.
@@JumugiDesunra oh! i didn´t know!
and killer instinct
The little chime effect when Executed comes on screen is so out of place.
execution feel magical
That chime only appears when it’s a flawless victory-notice how there isn’t any damage taken by the executer.
I loved this game in the arcades. The graphics were so amazing and the executions were sick as hell. Loved the soundtrack too. It was such an underrated game. I remember not many ppl played it besides me lol. Those were some good times. Favorite characters Al' Rashid, Ichiro, Lord Deimos. This game has a special place in my heart.
+VaeVictus666 Couldn't agree with you more. They need to make a new version of this for the current consoles and for PC !

My favorite was hell knight
Those are some damn nice graphics for 1997.
I played this game near my school about 20 years ago, so I think it was at least 2000 ... we considered it the best graphics I remember
and this wasent even the PS2 Era yet, so yeah its very good for the arcade days

Tekken 3?
'98 my friend. Year 1998.🤦♂️
Why does it make a soft glitter noise when performing an execution lol
It's the sound effect for a perfect/flawless victory.
the chimes sound while the "EXECUTION!" is an absolute buzzkill
Damn somebody need to remake or make a sequel to this game. Im disappointed that the game industry forgets about good games like this. Maybe if we had twitter, twitch, and youtube back then this game wouldve gotten the sequels it deserves.
The Cuccos aren't the only deadly chickens in the world
0:58 Kano will be so proud!
I had this game, my childhood 🖤

I remember playing with Deimos and pulling off his Executions once in a while in the arcades. A decent 3D fighter at the time.
1:56 That "hee-ya" was taken right out of MK1
3:18 Jax will be so proud!
,,, a fucking chicken
WHAT THE FUCK
Yes like you
u wot m8
Yeah, turning an opponent into a chicken is not an execution. Not unless the Colonel is going to take him/her to the slaughterhouse to make him/her into more original recipe chicken.
Nothing out of the ordinary there
Pojo is a running gag character from the era of Midway.
This Game is Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur Combined
Namira and Takeshi are awesome, I like them
+Wesley C Almost all characters are.
One of da many games dat deserves a remake/remaster! Imagine da enhanced graphics, da executions lookin' more vicious, etc. etc.
That killing music is badass.
I agree
Some of the sound designs for these executions are lacking. Some of them sound like they’re making as much impact as a gentle knock on someone’s front door.
Al Rashids fatality was the best.
very underated game, i wish i knew about this game when i had my N64
We did tournaments of this game back in the day. I played Hell knight.
My fav game on n64, it was so ahead of its time imo, great combos and graphics
Discovered this on a family holiday in Ibiza on arcade in hotel bk in 98, needless to say I didn’t see a lot of sun, bought it straight away when back so underrated
Used to adore this game, as a kid it took me like a week to figure out and perform Taria's fatality to get Pojo
I was all about Lord Deimos and his brutality. Even took that name for a while whenever I needed a name for games and such. I only ever played it in the arcades though, and sadly I didn't know it existed on N64 until long after that system's lifespan.
3:36 - Carrying the enemy is an execution?! XD
***** Pojo is what later, across the ages, thru the legends, came to be known as Draghi.
XD
Fajanta Yeah He Drop Yo Ass
Fajanta When He Leave Stage
Well he's drop his opponent from a great height.
I remember the Al Rashid one, it was badass
His was my favorite, executioner was good too mostly for its simplicity, didn't need anything fancy.
Don't you love watching a brutal murder but it is quickly followed up with a whimsical sound effect with the word "EXECUTION!" attached to it?
This game deserves a reboot, likely Killer Instinct
I'd buy it.
Fernando Mahuzier ikr
love the fatality theme!!
love lord deimos :3
Are we going to talk about how tame Namira's fatality is, even by "Mortal Kombat" standards?
its not about what she does here.....its about later
Diablos!!! Nunca antes había visto este juego!!!😞 Se ve que para la época estuvo excelente!!!!!👌
X2
man graphically this game shits all over MK4. I wish it ran on this engine. But at least MK4 was fast paced
Hipster Black Metal
But in some ways, MOTA and War Gods were better, also the OST was cooler
Ost is godly compared to MK4. Stage design is amazing as well. I love MK but id rather play Mace over Mk deadly alliance - Armageddon. Much more interesting cast of characters, locations and back story for a "first" in the series.

@@dkrbk I'm talking about the arcade version of Tekken 3. Only the console version has background images.
And another fighting game I never knew existed lol. This one is pretty fucking dope though, wish I could've played it.
A little late but I owned this baby and it was fantastic.
This game was freaking insane back in the day. I remember the subwoofers in this game took over the whole arcade. Whenever anyone performed an execution, everyone came running to see it xD
nizamm
I love the execution, it was Mortal Kombat but better fatalities. More bloody and realistic.
It was fun to rent, from Blockbuster. My friend and I junked out on this in a hotel room, while his mom banged her boyfriend (in a separate room).
Remember this being at the local theater, also advertised in a PS1 Gamepro special issue 1997, but never actually got ported to PS1 much sadness ensued over the decades :*(
I like Midway games, but this is one of the few games that failed, just to consider why it was better than the MK4 released in the same year!!
First time I see Pojo fatality lol :D
Oddly enough, I liked hellknights the most. :D
It's the most disturbing, even if it's the least graphic.
I remember playing this on my 64 when I was in kindergarten
I remember when the game came out, there was some hype that it would turn into a franchise but it was just that. A solo game, and nothing was ever heard from it again.

I'm In Need for a Midway Fix lol

Seems like Mortal Kombat was so damn popular and revolutionary back then that so many clones are made of that legacy. I wonder if this game is available in some console... maybe PS1?
+AAIIGI92 It came out for Nintendo 64 in 1997.
James Ignatius Heh, I still have the N64 actually, but this game may be quite expensive though...
I looked it up on ebay. A loose cartridge goes form 10 - 35 $ US. More for a sealed copy though
had it for the n64 (before knowing it was an arcade game) it looked at least as good as this video... maybe it's the compression but i'm sure the n64 didn't look as 'murky' either. I liked it.. and fighters destiny, both worth playing.
ps - if you want an actual MK clone, look at 'way of the warrior'... that game really did rip off all the characters and moves. Mace in my opinion was quite different.
never felt so magical in this execution

I remember dreaming of being able to control Ragnar as the AI did
The two swords guy is always the best one!
There may be kills in mortal Kombat but c'mon who doesn't love fatalities in other classic and modern games such as this
To this day, still think Lord Deimos is one of the coolest villains in a fighting game. Man he's awesome.
3:25 Fore!
Played this shit all the time back in the day!
I played a lot this game, one of the best Nintendo 64 games.
+PanamericanistaM0R3Na mortal kombat came out in 93 i think.
+PanamericanistaM0R3Na The first Mortal Kombat came in1992, and Mace on 1997. But the first Mortal Kombat 3D (MK4) also came in 1997. Both games are made by the same developer (Midway).
Bass sound*.....
OH
Bass sound*.....
OH
Had this for n64 loved it
Even though I wasn't able to do the fatalities I still enjoyed this game
Taria sounded like Pagan from war gods
The soundtrack of the executions is hideous, to give nightmares!!!
One of my favorite games as a child.... Favorite player was Xiao Long, there was a cheat code to turn him into a janitor and he would fuck everybody up with his broom! This... Diddy Kong Racing and Zelda: Ocarina of Time got me through middle school
i remember you had to unlock gar somehow
Yeah, I'm not sure about the arcade version but on the N64 if you spun the joystick clockwise on the violence warning screen you unlock Gar and Ichiro.
Ken S. Who was gar
And for grendal push the c button down And A
ot they should one of these characters remade as a dlc in mortal kombat 11 kombat 3 pack if ed boon puts out a kombat 3 pack 🤞🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember this
EXE-CUTE HIM!!!!
Why does it sound like a gun when Al' Rashid chops your arms off?
2:13 Violación
Wth these graphics are insanely good
how did you play on that stage? 3:34
Gar and Pojo?! I never saw these!!
3:33 Amazing.
Pojo is the best secret character of ALL TIME.
2:09 Did he just thrust his red pulsating pole into her....?! VAJTALITY!!!
thats cool i didnt know a plain old java object was in the game
Well does the chicken drop it's victim? It ends showing it just flying 🙄
Mordos Kull
Huh. Didn't know there was a San Francisco Rush stage in this
I wanted to buy KI Gold, but I couldn't find it in the shop in 1997, I was lucky I got this, it was the best fighting game on N64
I need a remake on this game man!!
I'm 27 now I played this game when I was younger and my mind is fucked up
the third one kinda reminded me of melina from mk9
How do i get to that City stage?
Loved that game on N64
Why the HELL isnt this game on Xbox Live or the PS Store???
Amazing kill
You could say that Hellknight was... Eggxecuted.
One of the best games with war gods, they dont need to hate mortal kombat
This was cheesy fun as a kid
Matt and Woolie was here
at 0:45, where is Taria's level with the water and lightning , are these cheats because some of these levels I never seen. The graphics almost look even better...was this ever on a different platform besides N64?
I was wondering the same thing.
It was originally in the arcades before it came out for the N64. This is the arcade version.
Mordos Kull Fatality is in Taria's level 0:15
and that level in 0:45 is the Mini Golf level, is a cheat even in the n64 console version. Check for all the info in google
Cori Salander yup arcade looks so damm nice
What is this game ? And which game system
thought that girl was gonna be fighting a chicken lmao
Si no fuera por la gran proliferacion de este tipo de juegos en la epoca, mtda seria un exitazo...
POJO
I remember watching this years ago and remember Namira and Taria having the worst finishers.
Awesome how come I never heard of this game
Las Ejecuciones de Mordos, Takeshi, Rashid, Ragnar, Hellknight y Dregan son mis favoritas
PÚDRETE
ok, the 1st 2 fatalies looks baddas
