Mortal Kombat had tons of fans in arcades, but not so much in Congress. Their concerns over the glorified violence of MK’s iconic finishing moves led directly to the creation of the ESRB and standardized game ratings; thankfully, that didn’t stop the franchise from continuing to deliver jaw-dropping (literally) fatalities in the future.
