Hey man, you did well in compilating the Genesis version of original MK soundtrack. But here you have the stage musics themselves and their respective VICTORY sequences. Where can I find the FINISH HIM/HER sequences of these same Genesis songs?
goro's lair is (intro super nintendo) hall (pit super nintendo) entrance (continue remix super nintendo) entrance win is game over in (game boy and master system and game gear) warrior's shrine is remixed and cordyard to. own remixes main theme (through the hole megadrive version) is just character select (super nes) and there is no fatality theme in the megadrive game. only test your might after 3 matches. just like the super nintendo.
My Dad’s late friend was a MASTER at this particular version of the game. He knew all the moves, secrets like Reptile, tricks, the blood code, you name it-he’d outclass even the BEST of players at this game from plethoras of hours of practice. Unfortunately, he couldn’t play anymore due to arthritis. He eventually passed away because he refused to see a doctor for his long-ailing condition (for those who aren’t in the know, he passed away years before COVID-19 reared it’s fugly head) in the mid-2010’s. In the end, I ended up finding his box of old Sega Genesis games: one of them being Mortal Kombat. He had special moves written for each character written on pieces of paper, his copy still had the manual-cards still intact for collectability & authenticity, also whenever I see the Sega Genesis version of MK, I think of my Dad’s childhood friend whom we visited from time-to-time. RIP Woody.
I'm 41 year old man and still have my genesis copy. I'm sitting in my car listening to the soundtrack reminiscing and reading your comment. Your father and his friend grew up in an amazing time. ✊️
@@omarramirez623 dang 41 and old schoolin sega soundtrack, 31 here and when i get to drinkin at home.. this is on my list and its a deadly cool tune when your gettin shit faced and tinkering with rc car stuff.. back when i was a toddler mom wouldnt let us play altered beast.. but we would sneak play it when the opportunity struck. also want to add if you like old school badass tunes like this check out hellfire
I laughed real loud and pissed off the dirtbag sleeping on my couch when I read “plethoras of hours” 😂 How many different types of hours are there?! Idk how I can believe anything you say after that nonsense, but dammit I’ll try 😤
I'm forever impressed at the quality of this sound track even to this day. Whoever reworked this sound track for the Genesis version, WITHOUT using Gems engine should be real proud. It's still my favorite version sound track wise of any of the home ports. The quality of the percussion samples and the variations of those drums just blew me away even as a kid. Most games around that time on the genesis still cheaped out on the drums and it fills me with hype and nostalgia every time.
MK's music is an important part of its DNA. The fact that the new movie music didnt even try to pay homage to the unique sound of MK music is such a missed opportunity
I agree. I tested my might and broke a child in two. I think it hilarious that they rank the FIFA games over this. Can Alan Shearer do a fatality? Nope, he's just a bald man.
Yeah I saw all the time, they'll never really understand the leap in technology we experienced coming up in times like this. Seeing MK go from this to what it is now and looking back with fondness at where it started.
I love this version of the soundtrack. Matt Furniss is damn good in rearranging (recomposing) the original Forden's versions (1st and 2nd MK for SEGA).
Used to play this for hours and hours with my friends as kids... I still dust off the old genesis a couple times a year and pop in mk1 and put the beat down on my kids and finish them off with mind blowing fatalities. A true all round classic game.
@@MrEvodio65 Not necessarily about preferring this over the arcade version. More like preferring it over the music in the other ports. It plays to the strengths of the Genesis sound chip and offers a unique soundtrack. Anyone can play the arcade version these days so having a watered-down port with equally compromised music would make this version forgettable. But thanks to the soundtrack it's worth returning to today.
@@theblackrabbit1710 Late to this party but exactly. I was around then, had both a SNES and a Genesis, and it was a bummer how many Genesis games had inferior soundtracks because of the limitations. Sega of course knew how to play around it, first party games had fantastic music like Sonic the Hedgehog, but most games' soundtracks suffered. Whoever was in charge of sound for the MK Genesis port clearly took steps to work around the limitations instead of trying to make a 1-to-1copy and just having it sound like garbage. Someone went the extra mile. I'll even be bold enough to say, I prefer the Genesis soundtrack over the arcade!
@Asphalt Gamer KH1 Listen to the Genesis throne room music. Matt Furniss (the arranger of this version) changed the tempo and instruments from the arcade pit music there.
Absolutely agree. The genesis version is way superior. As I've said in another comment thread, the genesis soundtrack sounds more like a typical arcade soundtrack than the actual arcade soundtrack.
Isn't this a SONG ? An EPIC Song ? An epic song in 2017 !! Who is watching this EPIC SONG in 2017 ?? LMFAO, this part of youtube again, WTF in the first place, in the first place.
The Mortal Kombat games and movies are the reason why now as an adult I love Arabic, Hindi, Oriental, and other music of the Middle East. It planted the seed in my head and gave me the 1st taste of the different instruments and these styles of music. Not many people make that connection, but when I play that type of music to/for them and they say hey I like this, why do i like this, why does it seem familiar like I've known this music my whole life. I ask them did you play Mortal Kombat games and watch the movies? And their mind is blown like holy shit you're right it's been there all along.
you should revisit the older bomberman games' music... Jun Chikuma does a lot of work with middle-eastern aesthetics and instruments, and their soundtracks are wonderful (BM94 has a fantastic score, if you don't know where to start)
That's an interesting thought. I am making instrumental music and Mortal Kombat indeed influenced my music. I combine electronic loops with exotic sounding elements from Asia and middle East.
@@cristobaldion That's awesome man. One of the best examples from the 1st movie is Reptiles song. I love how they mixed so many different elements, from EDM, and exotic instruments, even some guitar. By Mortal Kombat 4 you're fully immersed in a different culture if you actually pay attention the music.
whenever I see the moon in the sky this starts 7:51 lol edit: If there are "moving" clouds + moon then I go nuts! I often tell my brother in such cases "Go outside and look ... today is mortal kombat"
yung Meheecan it marked the releases of mortal kombat 1 to home consoles. It was on a Monday. It’s that memorable considering mk1 was EVERYWHERE when it was released, news, arcades, etc.
Man, the music for Goro's Lair in this version SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME when I was 7 years old! It was almost like nightmare fuel because of the brooding, eerie feel it had. And the skeleton in the background didn't make me feel any less afraid either.
Matt furniss did pretty good here, really hoped we could get the arcade versions of the music. I did read up that there was heavy limitations to the memory and storage. I think the music has had to take a hit as well
Exactly how it sounded when me and my younger brother were playing this game! Original Genesis hardware really enhances this soundtrack. Keep it comin Dustin!
7:51 - The Pit... my favorite as a kid playing this back in 1993 when I finally had it for myself. I always loved playing as Liu Kang and performing his fatality so the opponent would fall down and be impaled on the spikes below in dramatic fashion.
@@jaxxh6529 That's funny, since I've been doing that very thing on my original Sega Genesis since ohhh, about 1993. I still own it, and on the now rare occasion that I do in fact play it, I almost always play as Liu Kang, and perform that exact fatality. I guarantee you're mistaken.
@@Recoil816 yes its happened but you hear the victory track and nothing no scream no hitting spikes on snes you hear scream but he or she falls on the ground with a bang
@@jaxxh6529 You literally see them fall onto the spikes on the Sega version. The thing you're right about is the fact that there is no screaming in the Sega version. They just fall down onto the spikes, and that's it.
I remember long before it was cool AKA affordable, I used to collect games and had around 200 ranging from NES to PS2 around the late 2000's. The very first game i remember collecting was Mortal Kombat so this OST means something to me.
Back in the mid 00's I used to take a trip with friends up to GameXchange every weekend and most weekends would walk out with 10 to 20 new games, ranging from loose carts to stuff complete in box. I might be more nostalgic for that time than I actually am for the retro heyday.
Who else loved reading the little booklet, and just admiring all the art on the cover, while listening to the game idle? :) The fact that game had an idle mode was mind-blowing to me as well lol.
My first ever game system was a Sega and my cousin knowing I was getting one brought me this game to the family Christmas party. The image of this cartridge blasphemously on top of sonic and knuckles is my childhood.
I was the first classmate to own this game for home consoles in my school classroom. I own the first 3 for the Genesis, but the original game to me will always be the best for the SG home console. Endless memories from years past when life was really good!!
Played this game with my older brothers when I was little. Now hearing this again, I never noticed how awesome the drums sounded! Those samples sound amazing, but when you play in game some of them get interrupted by other SFX which I guess is normal for that time haha. Thanks for the upload!
Man this was the first game I ever got with my Genesis back in 1998! Yeah I know I got my Genesis right at the end of the 16-bit era but my parents didn't have a lot of money. My sister figured out how to use Rayden's special move and to this day I still can't figure that one out. >_> Unfortunately my original copy broke, probably just needed to be cleaned but I was young and didn't know better so we threw it out. :( I need to replace it still but for now I have a Mega everdrive and Everdrive so I can still play it.
It seems Acclaim took some of the Arcade tracks and mixed them up with the their own tracks. For example: 12:51 Is the Game Over track in the Arcade. 14:56 Is that jingle when Reptile wins. 15:07 Is the title menu in the Arcade.
I was born in 1999 but my dad owned this amongst other games and I just to play it so much growing up!! Sonic the Hedgehog, Driver and Ecco The Dolphin were also my favs I was so lucky to grow up playing Mega Drive, Ps1 AND Ps2!! Great childhood
Dare I say that the MK1 music by Matt Furniss for the Genesis is as good, if not better than the arcade, depending on the music you're in the mood to hear at the time. This music is amazing.
People seem to neglect these tracks when they do a "Best of Genesis / MegaDrive music but this is some of THE best on the system! Sometimes it's honesty hard to believe it's actually the Genesis.
LOVE the percussion in here! People who say the SNES had the better soundtrack like to hear music coming from undewater (muffling) and inside a trash bin (reverb).
I prefer the re-composition of the songs by far with the Genesis version. Quite frankly the arcade music and SNES music sounded like they were playing every Asian instrument at the same time and hitting random notes with their feet while doing it.
@@XTRABIG90% of it is the music from the original arcade version, just arranged differently with more of a groove to it. And they switched up the tracks and locations
Hello, channel user "Tru Fun Games" is programming a version of the first Mortal Kombat for the Atari Jaguar system, could you please ask him to use the soundtrack that Matt Furniss made for Sega Genesis? If there are many of us, maybe he will listen to us. Thank you, greetings.
The word 'code' has many different definitions. The shaolin martial arts tournament is governed by a system of rules of conduct ...an ethical code. The combatants respect each other as warriors, no matter what degree of hatred they have for one another... a code of honor. Another type of code could be defined as an arbitrary system of symbols or letters for transmitting messages... a secret code. Mortal Kombat adheres to many codes, but does it contain one?
I'm putting together a drum medley for this, 2, 3, and the movie. Thanks for the reference material! I also did a Sonic the Hedgehog and TMNT with more to come.
Dustin, wow!! Thank you so much. I commented earlier today asking if you had any plans for MK1-3 and you busted all 3 out already. That is really cool of you, thank you!!! My ears are in heaven. Thank you!!!!
I hear you! I think the huh huh huh huh huh oof huh huh huh oof sound effects made the music easy to miss how good this music is! I mean I'm blown away that the Genesis could sounds so good and play so many great sounding samples!
Been the most useful playlist while doing college work. But also now wanting to have a Sega Mega/Genesis to play this game the original MK games are so fun
Hello. You should know something important: the user of the channel "Tru Fun Games" is programming a version of the first Mortal Kombat for the Atari Jaguar system. It would be interesting to ask him to include the Megadrive/Genesis soundtrack in your version. Please make a suggestion in your project video.
Growing up with the Snes version of the game. I must say I would of much prefered the opening theme from the Genesis version. It sounds so much more tribal and fitting the animalistic nature of the combatants imo.
Goosebumps! Thanks friend next door who knew the blood code, _and_ owned the Genesis copy! Sorry I broke your finger playing _Power Rangers_ , but I waaas the White Ranger.
This soundtrack represent when a professional player plays at first start of mortal kombat in a (pvp mode) that he knows he will never lose to anyone and make it all the way {end} & survive the black dragon tournament

My sister figured out how to use Rayden's special move and to this day I still can't figure that one out. >_> Unfortunately my original copy broke, probably just needed to be cleaned but I was young and didn't know better so we threw it out. :( I need to replace it still but for now I have a Mega everdrive and Everdrive so I can still play it.
+sonikku1011 Better late than never! Too bad about throwing it out but I'm so jealous of your Mega Everdrive lol
Its down, forward, high kick. There, kick er ass.

Back back front
sounds great. takes me back to the 90s
It seems Acclaim took some of the Arcade tracks and mixed them up with the their own tracks. For example:
12:51 Is the Game Over track in the Arcade.
14:56 Is that jingle when Reptile wins.
15:07 Is the title menu in the Arcade.
Court yard theme. The definitive mk theme. Ever
Agreed
Wow. Nostalgia for my childhood just hit me like a freight-train. @1:51 "Round One: FIGHT!"
The best soundtrack this version
I agee! To me, this music is one of the Genesis's best ever! I would even say the samples are easily the best on the system!
I was born in 1999 but my dad owned this amongst other games and I just to play it so much growing up!! Sonic the Hedgehog, Driver and Ecco The Dolphin were also my favs
I was so lucky to grow up playing Mega Drive, Ps1 AND Ps2!! Great childhood
Dare I say that the MK1 music by Matt Furniss for the Genesis is as good, if not better than the arcade, depending on the music you're in the mood to hear at the time. This music is amazing.
Waaaaay better
People seem to neglect these tracks when they do a "Best of Genesis / MegaDrive music but this is some of THE best on the system! Sometimes it's honesty hard to believe it's actually the Genesis.
This is unquestionably and blatantly Genesis and that's what makes it timeless
So true! I think the crap tastic voices overshadowed the killer soundtrack
LOVE the percussion in here! People who say the SNES had the better soundtrack like to hear music coming from undewater (muffling) and inside a trash bin (reverb).
The SNES OST is more "arcade accurate", but it sounds like shit on various stages, distorted, muffled and too much reverb.
I typically prefer SNES soundtracks, but this is indeed a great Genesis one.
I prefer the re-composition of the songs by far with the Genesis version. Quite frankly the arcade music and SNES music sounded like they were playing every Asian instrument at the same time and hitting random notes with their feet while doing it.
Loved the genesis version ost. But hated the voice tracks.... They were garbled
Farty trumpets too.
Matt Furniss eh? That explains why this is such a good conversion.
To be clear- ALL this music is original and not from the arcade? If so that is impressive
@@XTRABIG90% of it is the music from the original arcade version, just arranged differently with more of a groove to it. And they switched up the tracks and locations
@@tim_is_random thanks. I'm gonna check and compare.
I always loved Goro's Lair and The Entrance
Nostalgia at its finest. The sega genesis has such a dark and creepy tone to it and I love it like that
Thank you for Goro’s Lair, Dan. ❤️
The song for the Courtyard was always my favorite. It feels like it should be a boss theme.
The Pit is crazy good I love how it switches up at 8:08
He did composed any Chip Tune really great and i like the Music Type from Matt Furniss on any Game, where he was involved on the Music Department.
Hello, channel user "Tru Fun Games" is programming a version of the first Mortal Kombat for the Atari Jaguar system, could you please ask him to use the soundtrack that Matt Furniss made for Sega Genesis? If there are many of us, maybe he will listen to us. Thank you, greetings.
The word 'code' has many different definitions. The shaolin martial arts tournament is governed by a system of rules of conduct ...an ethical code.
The combatants respect each other as warriors, no matter what degree of hatred they have for one another... a code of honor.
Another type of code could be defined as an arbitrary system of symbols or letters for transmitting messages... a secret code.
Mortal Kombat adheres to many codes, but does it contain one?
Came back to listen to this ahead of the movie arriving this week. This soundtrack is fucking incredible.
I'm putting together a drum medley for this, 2, 3, and the movie. Thanks for the reference material! I also did a Sonic the Hedgehog and TMNT with more to come.
Dustin, wow!! Thank you so much. I commented earlier today asking if you had any plans for MK1-3 and you busted all 3 out already. That is really cool of you, thank you!!! My ears are in heaven. Thank you!!!!
My small tv back then did not give this soundtrack justice. I can't get over how good the Genesis version sounds!
I hear you! I think the huh huh huh huh huh oof huh huh huh oof sound effects made the music easy to miss how good this music is! I mean I'm blown away that the Genesis could sounds so good and play so many great sounding samples!
Such logic and talent. With such lofi and constrained options he had back then !
Entrance victory was my fav!
Been the most useful playlist while doing college work. But also now wanting to have a Sega Mega/Genesis to play this game the original MK games are so fun
This is what my ears hear❤️
Sega always had an awesome version of everything.
With the exception of the Doom 32x OST.
7:51
What we all are here for.
Courtyard sounds so good. Damn
better than the movie theme
So eerie and sinister like, the genesis’s original music is so much better than the muffled super Nintendo’s attempt of the arcade soundtrack.
This game has an awesome soundtrack. The Courtyard, The Warrior Shrine, etc. Flawless.
Hello. You should know something important: the user of the channel "Tru Fun Games" is programming a version of the first Mortal Kombat for the Atari Jaguar system. It would be interesting to ask him to include the Megadrive/Genesis soundtrack in your version. Please make a suggestion in your project video.
Many Thanks :) The 'Courtyard' theme is very inspired by the BloodSport OST composed by Paul Herzog.
Miss this
2021 STILL Love these tunes
The blood code was a reference to the album/song by Genesis called Abacab. I was in love with this soundtrack my whole life.
Growing up with the Snes version of the game. I must say I would of much prefered the opening theme from the Genesis version. It sounds so much more tribal and fitting the animalistic nature of the combatants imo.
I love courtyard and entrance tracks
Goosebumps! Thanks friend next door who knew the blood code, _and_ owned the Genesis copy! Sorry I broke your finger playing _Power Rangers_ , but I waaas the White Ranger.
This soundtrack represent when a professional player plays at first start of mortal kombat in a (pvp mode) that he knows he will never lose to anyone and make it all the way {end} & survive the black dragon tournament
One of the bests GAMES EVER MADE
Entrance is my favourite
Back in 1995 when my parents bought my Sega Genensis, this and Sonic 1 was the 2 games who came with it.
This so good !!!
My mom had this back in the 2000s 😭 We used to play it all day!
Best soundtrack….
THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is going to be my ringtone from now on
This soundtrack still smacks. 👍👍
I love the bass and drums in the first of these warrior music
Sega Genesis Mortal Kombat! Best soundtrack and gameplay. Hands-down
the opening title and main menu theme has been etched in my brains since I first heard it..... :-)
The pit.. Never forget 👍
can remember when my older bro came home with a brand new copy on the day of its release like it was yesterday
I didn't really like the Genesis soundtrack of this game and MK2 until now. Both Genesis versions have pretty awesome custom songs.

@Macro Aggressor: The Titty Baby Killer Oh shit, I didn't recognize that quote. I've seen that movie a thousand times, but I forgot that quote for some reason, sorry. XD Yes, my picture is Leon.
@Macro Aggressor: The Titty Baby Killer Oh okay :D
