The release of Mortal Kombat marked a pivotal shift in the landscape of fighting games. Its popularity spawned a multitude of sequels, and an even greater wave of imitators eager to capitalize on its success. In this episode, the Nerd examines several of these imitations, including *Time Killers* (arcade and Sega Genesis), *Jackie Chan Fists of Fire* (arcade), *Street Fighter the Movie: the Game* (arcade), *Tattoo Assassins* (arcade), and *Shadow: War of Succession* (3D0).
