The newer gamers among this generation may not remember that the original Mortal Kombat was responsible for the creation of the ESRB. Its incredible violence caused a U.S. congressional hearing, complete with slideshows showcasing the game's fatalities and calls for increased government regulation of video game content. 23 years later, the franchise is still ripping out spines, crushing windpipes and splattering brain matter. Suck it, congress!
