Please watch and (more importantly) listen to this video. Anything sound familiar? Bring back any memories? I hope you'll join us in thanking Dan for his amazing contributions to MK, and games in general.

Remember the amazing music that defined the atmosphere of the fighting arenas?

That was all Dan.

You may also know him as the (now infamous) "Toasty Guy" but Dan's audio single handedly created a literal atmosphere that played a major role in the feel and vibe of Mortal Kombat.

A significant part of the first Mortal Kombat's identity was in its tone, mystique and outrageous presentation.

Remember the first time you saw & heard an uppercut?
The explosive impact..
The announcer's wicked laugh..

The "DUN DUN DUN" before a fatality?

After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.

I was (and still am) a HUGE fan of the Police. But getting sued by your former bandmates.... man, that's gotta Sting.

Perhaps you're right, but porting Shaolin Monks is a much bigger lift and (when you think about it) it was a PS2 era game. Maybe it should be saved for a Legacy Kollection Too?
