Mortal Kombat
Like previous "Mortal Kombat" games released up to that point, "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" debuted in arcades. It first appeared in select arcades in early October 1995. Arcade owners who already owned "Mortal Kombat 3" were provided with the option to upgrade to "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" at no cost. In 2008, the "Mortal Kombat" series co-creator, designer and producer Ed Boon said that "UMK3" is his favorite 2D "Mortal Kombat" title. It was also the last game he has programmed himself.
