Mortal Kombat II is a 1993 Fighting video game by Midway, originally for Arcades, but later ported to various home consoles. Mortal Kombat II is the second game in the Mortal Kombat series, and was followed by Mortal Kombat 3 in 1995.

Plot

Shang Tsung, the demon, was defeated by Liu Kang in the first Mortal Kombat. Now he pledges to Shao Kahn. Shao Kahn, the new boss of the game, gives him youth so the demon can defeat their enemies. Kintaro is the protector of Shao Kahn, it is a four-armed monster from the same race as Goro.

Gameplay

The game plays like the original Mortal Kombat, but with faster, smoother gameplay.

In addition to fatality moves, the player can execute "friendship moves" where you don't kill you opponent but instead you give them a gift. There's also the amusing "babalities" where you can humiliate your defeated opponent by turning him or her into an infant.
