When my friend got a Jaguar for Christmas it came with this and I'd say I got a good 20 minutes of enjoyment out of it, but that's mostly because I always played as the Scotsman whose special move was lifting his kilt and shooting fireballs out of his groin.

So some sort of negative fun value? Or the game is made of antifun?

Mortal Kombat's embarrassing kid brother.

This has to be the worst Mortal Kombat knockoff ever made, and that's taking in to consideration games like Blood Storm, Way of the Warrior, Shadow - War of Succession, Blood Warrior, all of that is pretty bad but I think this one is the worst at least by a photo finish.

I was going to suggest Tattoo Assassins, but I don't think it was ever actually finished.

If Catfight for the PC (I think) can be nominated, that was barely playable.

I wouldn't call it the worst Mortal Kombat ripoff ever made. It's a contender, sure, but (discounting MUGEN projects and indie fan games) my vote would most likely go to Survival Arts.

Tattoo Assassins probably had the worst gameplay out of all of them, but the Nudalities and fart fatalities have to count for something. A game where you can turn Tanya Harding into a steaming pile of poo can't possibly be the worst ever. War Gods was pretty awful, too, but it had Kerri Hoskins in it, so I can't complain. Time Killers was my least favorite; I don't know what it is about that game, but I get angry just thinking about it. Subjectively, I'd say it's the worst, but objectively, you can cut a dude's arms off in midfight, so at least they were being creative. Ultra Vortek is pretty shitty, real close to Kasumi Ninja, and Way of the Warrior is even shittier, saved only by the White Zombie soundtrack. Bio FREAKS is unfairly maligned, in my opinion, same with Thrill Kill, and Bloodstorm is fucking AWESOME. I'll fight anyone whi says otherwise. MACE was the best 3D fighting game of the 90s, and The Kung Fu Master Jackie Chan is barely playable, but it's got Jackie Chan in it, so it gets my stamp of approval, too.

twinkieafternoon - you wouldn't happen to know where I can find a copy of Catfight, would you? I've been looking for it for years, for no other reason than that the cast includes people from Mortal Kombat, and it's currently at the top of my MK-memorabilia to get list.

I was never even that into real Mortal Kombat so my experience with knockoffs is limited but I can say no video could possibly convey how sluggish the controls of this game feel.

Time Killers was the kind of game that can end in 20 seconds because the fucking computer got a lucky shot at your head.

Also, I was going to get upset with you for not mentioning Primal Rage, but then I remembered that Primal Rage was objectively good and had no business on that list.

The lucky-insant-kill mechanism doesn't have to be a game breaker; the UFC Undisputed series does it well. Time Killers did not do it well.

And I didn't mention Primal Rage because I'm not a goddamn furry.

Scaly, you idiot! They're called scalies!

They can call themselves whatever they like and it won't make a difference, scalies are still furries. And the only character worth playing as was the Sub Zero monkey, who had FUR, so QED.

ALSO WE DON'T TECHNICALLY KNOW WHAT DINOSAURS' SKIN WAS COVERED IN, COULD BE FEATHERS, COULD BE FUR, WHO KNOWS.

Since dinosaurs were Anunnaki, my guess is suction cup tendrils ending in mouth-anuses.

Vertigo is the best character.

You are wrong.

Which one was Vertigo? Was she Mileena The Dinosaur?

Vertigo was the cobra dinosaur.

She was also the best character.

Ancient Germanic warrior would be the most historically accurate guess.

Nah, the game you're thinking of is Naughty Dog's equally terrible fighting game from the same time period, "Way of the Warrior" for the 3DO. And it's actually a true story, according to Naughty Dog interviews with Game Informer anyway. They were so broke that they developed it in their apartment, used their friends for the characters and used cut up happy meal boxes to make the costumes.
