Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection: 23 games, tons of jank—and a reason I can’t stop playing

My First Hour With 23 Kombats: Nostalgia Uppercuts, Jank Sweeps

TL;DR

• 23 restored MK titles across arcade, console, and handheld formats, plus a five-part interactive documentary you can play through.
• Thoughtful modern touches: side-panel move lists, Infinite Fatality Time, and a critical Shang Tsung morph fix in PS1 Trilogy.
• Rare and weird included—UMK3’s Wavenet edition, notorious spin-offs like Mythologies and Special Forces—kept intact for historical honesty.
• Rollback netcode works well when matches appear; expect strong lobbies for the big entries, quieter queues for the deep cuts.
• Minor UI papercuts and occasional online tumbleweeds aside, this is the most respectful, playable MK museum to date.
• If you care about how games evolve—and aren’t afraid of glorious jank—this Kollection is a must.
