When it first came out, it was like an urban legend. “Hey there’s this arcade machine down at the mall where you can knock people off a bridge into a pit of spikes. Theres this guy that blows your head off with electricity, and another guy that punches people in the nuts” There was so much crazy shit packed into one game it was unbelievable at the time. The competitor was Street Fighter, still a great game, but it was a saturday morning cartoon compared to this.
@@gurgy3back in the day we just left it for a while because it was way too difficult. But it started gathering more and more people. After a while you were lucky if you could see the screen. :D I still remember the very first fatality it was scorpion's. We were like shiiiit dude how did you dooooo thaaaaat? The hype was real and lasted longer than nowadays. We were kids of course and the world was slower as well. :D Good times.
Easily my favorite game of the series. The newer games have more features and are more polished, but the simplicity of this one is what makes it awesome. Side note: I never noticed that Shang Tsung's head turns as the fight moves across the screen. Not in the Courtyard stage but the other one.
I literally did the same thing to play Street Fighter II & Mortal Kombat in high school. Those games were that good and public high school in the 90s was that shitty. I don't regret any of my time in the arcade.
The best Johnny Cage in MK till this day in my opinion. He was well rounded and technical. Cage was toned down in the latter games. I was shocked that in MK Trilogy you coulnt switch to MK1 Cage. This Cage will probably never come back. Best Cage ever.
+maforo85 My favorite character and my favorite MK game. As you said- Cage was well-rounded in this game. Personally though, I like the Genesis version better now because of the sound.
How is he toned down? He’s had the same move set throughout the entire series damn near, and has even gotten a few new ones along the way like the shadow uppercut. I don’t get how this cage is any different from mk2
@@KHayes666 Daniel Pesina wasn't fired by Midway because he was NEVER a Midway employee. That was a false rumor. Him and the other MK2 actors left over royalty disputes.
Imagine Shang Tsung Being a sorcerer able to command and use souls to your advantage, killing many But then getting beaten by a normal guy who did some martial arts training once or twice
Shang Tsung wasn't intend to transform to other characters in the first place. The memory was quiet full so he lent the moves from other characters to save storage. This lead to his abilities and his storyline.
Lmao way to downplay Johnny's feats. He isn't some dude who took local karate lessons at the Y once a week. He's a global master martial artist who's been trained by various sensei's around the world. And that was BEFORE he became Hollywood royalty
1. Just like in the 1995 movie, in the games Johnny is not just an actor, he's also quite a competent martial artist (in fact without that aspect Shang Tsung would never have invited him to the tournament). Another thing is that by his appearance and his attitude it does not seem that he was more than an actor. 2. Although that would be included later in the lore, but Raiden reveals that he is a descendant of an ancient cult of warriors destined to be protectors of the earth and hence the green aura he uses. Also don't forget that he was only able to defeat Shinnok who is a God and in principle more dangerous than Shang Tsung.
No he does not. The game even seems to glitch and let Goro IMMEDIATELY attack Johnny Cage for nut-punching him...so don't nut punch Goro OR Shang Tsung in Goro form unless their health is just about all gone. Our video poster here paid for it otherwise.
Yes!!!! ...Thank you They ruined J.C looks (the most) after MK1 #JohnnyCage looks ridiculous now Warner Bros needs to bring back (MK1 graphics) back to their acquired MK franchise
In fact they first wanted to make it a game starred by Van Dame, they couldn't get an agreement so they made Johnny Cage, heavily inspired by Van Dame.
11:53 And so Johnny Cage hits Goro right in the groin to the point where he retaliates out of desperation by jumping right onto Johnny Cage's body at the moment he wins a flawless victory where he jumps back away from him afterwords and falls on the ground due to how really bad his groin hurts as if the four-armed Shokan Warrior just wasn't able to take the immense pain anymore. Johnny Cage then gets right back up at the exact moment when Goro falls on his back as if nothing happened despite having his body stomped upon, putting on his shades which still remains in one piece and looking awesome for his flawless victory pose right afterwords. Jean-Claude Van Damme would be very proud in a very virtuous way. And as for Goro, it's safe to say he felt utterly humiliated after his defeat and had nightmares of Johnny Cage ever since. Ohhh yeah!
Goro: Huh?! (Gets wrecked by Johnny Cage and kicked off the cliff. He hangs on with one hand) Cage: This is where you fall down. (Goro slips and falls to his death.)
First time in recorded history that Goro took a nut punch and then managed to stomp on his opponent without doing any damage before he felt it. Not quite how it happened in the movie.
My dream is to have a real, original MK 2 cab with a MK 1-3 jamma inside so I can switch & play all 3. Sorry but 1up arcade just don’t cut it for me...
Man O Man This Was Definitely The Video Game To Play Back In The 90’s Cause I Definitely Played It & Loved 🥰 It As Well & Also Loved 🥰 Watching The Classic 1995(26)Year Old Movie As Well
What the hell? Raiden's head is still on the floor when you fight Goro in Round 1! LOL! The Elder Gods won't be pleased...that's why all four of them disliked this video.
That was the #BEST I've ever SEEN anybody play #JOHNNY #CAGE and ball #GORO 🤣🤣🤯✨💖💯🙏🏼 thank you and please make more Videos if you can!!! watching in 2023 AD and a master myself and a #SIFU 🥋🥊
In the original timeline Sonya wasn't Johnny's girl but the second one, she is. Besides, when you play as many of the other combatants, their endings doesn't follow the story canon (okay some do except they don't win the tournament, the canon follows Liu Kang as the winner of the first three Mortal Kombat games). When you think about it from Mortal Kombat 11, there are several alternative timelines which could be inspired by the different endings and outcomes depending on who you choose.
I agree that. I like it, when I'm was a child I make all like cage, and lovelies :)) and shadow kicks for fun. But in my opinion king of mk of all time is Scorpion and Sub-zero. This is 3 my favorite. But 1st is sub-zero after scorpion. my zodiac is scorpion
If you acutely compare the sound to the original arcade to the mk collection it sounds way different you can even tell that the drums sound a lot harder & the sound effects are more crisper & louder then the mk collection that came out a while back just saying that's what I noticed

Lets all be honest Goro is freaking terrifying in this
He's easier on the sega genesis version
His roar is so haunted xD
When I was a child, I was terrified of him. The screen jumping up and down and knowing he would come down after winning was haunting as an 8 year old.
@@michaelmoores2654 he's more strong than the final boss (Shang Tsung)
Especially that final tag match while he's waiting to come down!😮
There is something mystic in MK1, no doubt about that.
Probably we’re looking at one of the best video games ever created.

That was Shang Stung
Those were $500 sunglasses, Asshole.
Lol seems about right
i love when goro beats the shit out of johnny then dies when he uses his nut punch
Jack Mehoff guess he wanted to get a few good licks in before going down
When you are to impress your gf's dad. He beats you up but you still manage to impress him
I thought Cages low blow didn't work on Goro...
It typically doesn't, but it did due to the glitch.
Johnny Cage with Van Damme's costume is fabulous. This should never have changed.
Alexandre never really noticed the homage.
Outfit from bloodsport
They gave him the ninja mime costume does that count?
As you can now see things always come full circle
@@isaacstancil5652Yes Indeed 🔥💯
I always love the arcade version of this game...the graphics and audio is great
Raiden’s head just chillin during the first
Round with Goro 😆
I like how Shang Tsung died from a punch in the nuts then throws cage down and then explodes
11:13 Raiden: "I'm watching you"
Ok boooommer

Tyranny329 It's the little things that set this game apart from the others.
Its called the Throne Room
Tyranny329 the best
I've been noticing that for a few months. Nice small detail imo.
Shang Tsung, the supreme ruler, wanted to watch the fighters even on his throne room, this is what makes this game thrilling

I remember skipping out! Gr.8 and going to the arcade in Coquitlam center. I thought my (skipping out system)was foolproof! 😎
11:53 I guess Goro hated how Johnny Cage ruined his weekend.
Shang Tsung: You Imbecile!
I love Shang tsung watching the fight his head movement and of course the 👏👏👏👏
love how johnny still poses for the camera after lopping someones head with the coolest uppercut ever lol
2:14 - Johnny be like "Oh, don't mind me, just punching Scorpion's head off his shoulders twice in a row."

They couldnt program MK1 Cage in Trilogy because the mocap actor that played Cage in that game was fired

He has no balls. Only 2 penises
Goro has the biggest target out of all of them. I mean look at that bulge! •_•
Curious how it worked on Goro in MK1, but in MK2, it wouldn't let the player use it on Kintaro.
🤔
Yeah
I love Jonny old design because over how simple he looks with the short pants.
Yes!!!! ...Thank you
They ruined J.C looks (the most) after MK1

Impressive, actually managed to punch the nuts of a boss.
Yep and they honored it in the first film.
Never understood why the pit wasn't considered a fatality
Yeah same most consider it a stage fatality
Stage fatalities never came in to mortal Kombat franchise until mortal kombat 2

I do but I liked the arcade version better
Still playing on my original arcade from 1992 after 30 years 🙂👌still works
@@AngeloConsalvo Yes! That's awesome
Deadly 2 uppercut heads glitch with on Scorpion.
You can do 3 if your quick!
Mortal kombat 1 is so amazing, it makes you feel like you are in the movie - Operation Dragon
Wow all the first 3 mk games were way ahead of their time graphics top notch and gameplay😇
man ..... what a great, classic game! !! #nostalgia
I always was playing with my RIP dady. 😔 he was very good. He always select Liu kang and he called him Brous Lee...30 years ago exactly...😔
Im 15 years old and i love this game
Very good likee
Johny Cage looks like he is doing crunches when he is knocked out 😂
man o man I can't forget about playing this video game on Sega Genesis Back In the day's and In the arcade
Does anybody else notice the double Kano endurance matches lol
2:19 I never knew Scorpion had 2 heads!!!
It’s a glitch
Every man have 2 heads.
Fools I have 3 heads
pacman
4Head
that goro finish was so funny
LOL! 4 straight punchin' Goro in the sack.
This game was ahead of its time
Gets stomped on - “Flawless Victory”
Watching the arcade version we can tell that the SNES port was superb!🔥
The snes port was not superb Nintendo censored the &!&÷/ out of it
No, it wasn't superb. It had terrible input lag, making the game unplayable.
You got a Flawless Victory against Goro? Well played
Can u imagine if johnny cage was really jean claude??? How different yoooo???
11:30
Just like the movie.
LOL
Shang Tsung: "You... IMBECILE!" 😂😂😂
Cage:(hold his right hand with his left) Damn! That hurt.
Shang Tsung: Follow him. Finish him!
Raiden: Yes! (hits guard) Haha! Sorry.
First time in recorded history that Goro took a nut punch and then managed to stomp on his opponent without doing any damage before he felt it.
Not quite how it happened in the movie.
He was clutching his balls in pain.
The original MK, man I miss these days 😔😔
Classic game will always be the best
When you block Kano's spin attack, you can hit him with a high punch, jump-punch, jump-kick, shadow kick combo that pretty much ruins his day.
I just love how no one claps to Kano in the ending xD
nah, he just shuts up the crowd with his shout xD
You were a school yard legend if you could do a Fatality! LOL! Miss those days.
MY SUNGLASSESSSS...
11:30 11:53 split punch
what the later instalments no longer remembered are the old Shang Tsung and the half pant wearing Johnny cage.
"..the movie Mortal Combat and its many successful sequels." ehhhh, right.
+Bumble Bee you misspelled combat it should be a k not a c
No he means "Many Sucessful" as in the first movie did incredibly, but the only sequel did terribly.

Still 53424x more realistic looking than the modern CGI games
I love this game but no it isn't.
I still remember playing MK 1 at a donut shop every morning before school start doing the three heads with Johnny Cage
Goro's so hench that it takes a minute for his brain to get the message that he's dead
Hell yah. Nice video. Johnny was always my favorite lol.
Rayden's body vanishes when Goro shows up but not his head.
He wanted to see the fight
Mk1 still has that classic feel. Who is the announcer on this game
Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung
"Cage goes on to film Mortal Kombat: The Movie and it's many successful sequels" with the 2021 film, I hope that's true
What the hell? Raiden's head is still on the floor when you fight Goro in Round 1! LOL! The Elder Gods won't be pleased...that's why all four of them disliked this video.

His stunt is gay but hes not lol i like the way that he stunt ppl
André Freitas Same
I was 6 years old when I saw Johnny Cage rip off sub-zero's head in stage 1, and the monks clapping. I was fascinated.
I’m embarrassed to admit that it took until the fight with Shang Tsung to realize he’s player 2.
LOL last blow is great.
Always wanted to play the older mortal Kombat games
Long Live The King Johnny!!!!!!! ;))))))))
Never realized Johnny cage was based of Jean Claude van dame
11:30-11:54 ALRIGHT, LET'S DANCE

If you acutely compare the sound to the original arcade to the mk collection it sounds way different you can even tell that the drums sound a lot harder & the sound effects are more crisper & louder then the mk collection that came out a while back just saying that's what I noticed
Well in this video, sounds are somewhat off.
Goro must have been pissed off enough to stomp on Cage even with an empty health bar 😂
You can also get double flawless the entire way by crouching the whole time then pressing forward+ LP as they try to hit you to throw them.
