Mortal Kombat source leak

On the image board, 4chan posted the sources of several versions of the Mortal Kombat fighting game, they are published in the retrogame / vr / section - and are quickly stored in a web archive.

The dump includes:

• Mortal Kombat 3 for Playstation One and PC (Windows)
• Mortal Kombat Trilogy N64

In the archives all the files needed to run games in the console emulator or under Windows.

Of course, the leak is illegal and violates copyright law. Probably, files can be deleted from the web archive.

Mortal Kombat is a legendary game for its time, the first version of which was released in 1992, and by 2000 the franchise brought developers $ 5 billion .

Mortal Kombat became famous for its unsurpassed level of violence, which shocked the public in the 1990s. A special indignation of the advocates of morality was caused by a series of “fatalities” finishing moves, when an insensitive adversary is finished off to death in a particularly spectacular way.

It was Mortal Kombat that led to the formation of the ESRB - a non-governmental organization that determines the ratings and age limits for computer video games and other entertainment software.

Mortal Kombat is the intellectual property of Warner Bros Corp., which has probably already launched an investigation into this incident. However, the anonymous author of the message on 4chan wrote that he “received files from the original developer”.

The MK trilogy files also contain Doom 64 code snippets. This game was developed by Midway Games and released a year later. It turns out that two games were created in parallel and even have common fragments.
