Yeah almost all sega and Nintendo games have a hidden menu like all almost 99 percent of them even if the menu was not controlled by the actual controller
@@michaelnorth2055 Nintendo power word of mouth and knowing people who programs the video games actually and other guides some actually came with the game it self Most games that didn't have a secret menu had a ultimate password or something
I have craziest memories playing that game. Was the first game that really got me into games like that, well and SF2. I wish I had a damn Time Machine.
Helps prevent, Red Ring of Death since the best method to fix it after it happens is wrap it up in a towel an leave it on upside down so the solder melts back and makes a connection. Terrible design.
I grew up playing the living crap out of all the MK's. It holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my friends playing for hours on game nights having tournaments and challenges against each other it will always be in my top 5 game series of all time.
Mortal Kombat 2 was the game that retired me from games. Some 10 year old at the arcade knew everything about the game on the day it came out and crushed me in seconds. This was before the internet, so IDK how he even learned everything by noon.
This is just one of several reasons why the 80's -90's were a wonderful time to be a teenager. Hidden or as the kids today call them "Easter Eggs" were what made gaming so special back then. Whether its counting Bald Bulls charge...waiting for the camera flash, jumping on a turtle coming down steps or frantically pressing a series of buttons at any given time...those were the days.
It's crazy how those graphics look now at 40 years old it was fire ass hell when it 1st came out now it looks like something from the 70s compared to games now
Awww as soon as you grabbed the cartridge, I knew exactly what you were gonna do. You can go straight to the armory by putting stage to 7, I believe. I would do it over and over.
Old cheat codes had so many steps that if I didn't know better, you could convince me they weren't even saved on disk and you were just programming them in with the inputs.
I LOVE THIS!!! i remember this code as a kid!!! In 7th & 8th Grade science class our teacher Mr. Richerhardt had EVERY system known at the time in class.. On Fridays we had MASSIVE tournaments in every game he had available and the winners didn't get homework for a week!! When this code hit the street, everybody went nuts perfecting their skills...lol
This is one of my favorite games and one of the most difficult arcades in the world. I never knew of this on the Genesis system. Awesome. Pulling the old beast out and trying it. Thanks!
On the original arcade unit early on there was a fatality called “doo doo brown” with baraka where the blood looked like shit during a fatality. Ive never seen it since but it was definitely in the arcade version.
Dude I have so many memories playing this game as a kid, over and over, I had the Sega Saturn channel, and it was the shit, this game and earthworm Jim were my shizz
Memories. It's Krazy to think how we figured out these codes back then through magazines and local forums lol. I'm 36 now and remember it like yesterday
Crazy how hidden that is unless you know exactly what to do!
Crazier that Ed Boon and them NEVER leaked how to do ANYTHING in the game they just assumed people would learn and they did LOL

Games don’t even have cheat codes anymore 😩
90's was an amazing decade tbh.
Well said!

Everything was so much better in the 90s. From games to movies.
That's such an insane number of random steps just to change a character sprite for a few seconds.

Back then this was pretty cool programming. Now they can do it so much simpler.
It might seem silly now since you can AI something way cooler but this back before GIF's. It was amazing to find a hidden gem like this.
new to mk classics?
His dad Is so proud of him.
Love that a Sega Genesis MK2 tips n tricks vid is a hit 30 years after release. 🎉
Sega Genesis over PS5
Probe didn't create MK2, they created ports of MK2 for numerous platforms. Midway was the one that created the original arcades.
it's crazy how fast people ruin their credibility
Mad respect for you dude to have all those old school consoles
Thanks for the love!
That is more commendable than the fergality
@@moonshinegamingshorts man a real collector
Less respect for not having anything new 😂
Why? They're not rare
Did you know we used buy "gamer magazines " for this info lmao
Facts, no instant lookups on phones
I had forgotten about gamer mags! Thanks man
Yup they had official and unofficial guides. Good stuff I still have some of them. 💪🏽

Holy shit, dude... I REMEMBER this!!! Its been more than 30 years since I've even thought about that
cant wait til i grow up and have memories like this shit hahaha
MK2 for the Megadrive is 28 years old ✌️😉
@@MortalKombatKollector I'm 22 years.....
Yup. My uncles back in the day were totally into games and showed me this maybe 25ish years ago.
🧢
I was 15 when this hit the market. Thank you for the memories. ❤
Loved playing MK as a kid. That, TMNT, and NFL blitz were the 90s...
can we take a moment to jus cry for all of us who grew up with these beautiful systems
Maybe you will.
I STILL have them
I loved MK2.
Sega master system first console i had with the 2 built-in games hang on and safari hunt 😢😊
Every kid that had MK2 on Genesis and had a 'Tips and Tricks' magazine knew this.
Exactly ❤
Exactly
I remember having a magazine dedicated to MK2, the characters, moves and cheats, think it was Gamesmaster magazine but I maybe wrong about that..
Yeah I remember doing this when I was like 7
Crazy I figured out most the fatalities on my own. Countless hours practiced
Probe Entertainment is not the creator of MK2, they merely ported the game to the Genesis. MK2 was created and development by Midway (present day Netherrealm Studios)
Glad someone said it
I like Midway's new name
You are not wrong. LOL!
This dude literally has a million dollar game collection 😭
No, not even close.
Yea you see that
Million peso not even
Looks similar to me except I’m sloppy and need some arrangement practice😅😅😅😅
That must of been fun turning that code on before a friend comes over and pulling that off on them only for them to be like wtf if that fatality?
R.I.P Fergus. You were a true gent to those around you and the heart & soul of a good laugh.
Who remembers all the different fatalities like babality (turned into baby), animaltality, brutality, etc
Facts
nooBsaiboT!!!
The best one was animaltality
@@tk-ogs-8713 Liu kangs was my favorite animality he turned into a dragon and bite the top half off in one of the MK
@@babyface_rob3308 was his fatality on 2
Animality on 3
A whole collection of nostalgia
This guy’s game room is my happy place
sure if your 12 but I don't think adults have time to use this room
Man, my happy place is a nice green field with some trees, a river and such...
It’s where I’d like to wake up on a Saturday morning after having binged on games like TMNT and street fighter the whole night before haha
@@badcornflakes6374we’d def go outside with our footballs and nerf guns and everything too

I remember the Fergality! That brings me back. I love how much weird secret stuff was hidden in games in this era.
Omg I've been a fan of Mortal Kombat for ages and only now i see this....
For ages? This is a well known secret fatality. Or maybe you're unaware of game informer magazine or planet cheat website
Not sure how I never knew this. I do remember Shang's extra fatality of turning into Kintaro.
Having to hold a button for dozens of seconds to do a fatality was insane but worth it
*Hold High Punch for 25 seconds, stand at sweep distance, release button.*
Let's Talk about the fact that he had every game system you can imagine
Owns every console. Only money leftover for a tiny tv.
Does anyone know which Sega genesis that is? I don’t recognize it.
man used to love those old secret fatalities or secret character unlocking features in that game.
These old games be crazy with the secrets…. Like kneeling at the edge of a map holding a crystal and waiting for a tornado
Seeing that original xbox like that with the remote receiver brought back so many memories. Nice setup even though the N64 isn't there 🤙🏽
No NES or SNES either....maybe a highly cultured Sega kid! ^_^
Your hand to eye coordination must be legendary. Look at all those consoles.
You have the ultimate gaming system collection that I'm trying to get I have about half of what you have!
Mortal Kombat 2 was the game that retired me from games. Some 10 year old at the arcade knew everything about the game on the day it came out and crushed me in seconds. This was before the internet, so IDK how he even learned everything by noon.
I love that back in these days half of the games fun was finding easter eggs
I miss my dreamcast 😢
Probe didn't create the game, but they did do a damn fine job with the port. Fergulicious
It's hot, hot!
The memories man. I remember ringing my mate just to get the cheats for Mortal Kombat no internet 🤣 cool times
Hell of a maintenance these things used to need but these were definitely golden times.
I remember back in the 90s and early 2000s they use to sell magazines with cheat codes and demos on the inside I miss those days
God damn Dad! You just unlocked BMO's combo move.
Confession: I've been gaming since 1986 and have never played any of the Sega consoles or Mortal Kombat games.
seriously? what console did you have between 1990-2000 bro?
@@akid-kid-A NES, SNES and PS1, so I did have access to MK, but I never played any of them.
@@themoon69420 I'm not a fan of MK games in the 90's, but I think you should try playing MK11 if you have a chance.
SNES is better than megadrive imo
Depends on your taste and genre, and sometimes parents lol
There's another Secret Fatality where you can knock off three heads with Johnny Cage
And there's a secret third fatality for the soul stealer
Yep, loved that one.
This is just one of several reasons why the 80's -90's were a wonderful time to be a teenager.
Hidden or as the kids today call them "Easter Eggs" were what made gaming so special back then.
Whether its counting Bald Bulls charge...waiting for the camera flash, jumping on a turtle coming down steps or frantically pressing a series of buttons at any given time...those were the days.
My childhood all in one entertainment center!! All of my bday/Christmas’s were spent getting these systems!
Swear this looks like me n my brothers set up lol I must have brothers to be in this life style
I wonder who just decided to try this out and was like let me just click these buttons real quick 😂
Stop sending distress signals, they're hearing us.
Bro you are the MVP for having every console that came out..salute
I loved these kind of Easter eggs that u can tell were just inside jokes between the developers and programmers
The Waffle House has found its new host

I'm convinced that every video game has Easter eggs that nobody will ever be able to find.
I don't know why but the shadow in the tv scared the sh*t out of me when it moved hahaha 😂😅
Wow only took me 30 years to learn this, amazes me how many other games have hidden gems that we dont know about from back in the day!
when MK2 first came out i Remember having to have my mom buy it at toys r us because they would not sell it to a 14year old, i miss the 90s
I miss these kinds of secrets in games. Pressing arrows and buttons to unlock stuff.
Bro it took literally 30 years to uncover this. Shots out to the creators.
I miss having these types of hidden game secrets from the 90s.
These days I do find videos about off camera secrets pretty fascinating.
I used to think I was a gamer. I have nothing on you. Well done😂
Love these OG Easter Eggs. Brings back so many memories.
It's crazy how those graphics look now at 40 years old it was fire ass hell when it 1st came out now it looks like something from the 70s compared to games now

So many memories MK2 was my first favorite fighting game
I have been watiing years for this, thanks. Finally :)
It's been two decades and we still find so many hidden gems
Test mode. Bringing back genesis memories
Old cheat codes had so many steps that if I didn't know better, you could convince me they weren't even saved on disk and you were just programming them in with the inputs.
Your reflection in the TV scared the shit out of me for a second 😂
All these years and I've never known this
I love MK2. It was my childhood as a young boy.
ABABB, I can never forget it. 😂😂😂
D, U, L, L hold A, R, D, start
I’m lactating at the sight of all of those beautifully nostalgic gaming systems 😍

Damn man that's a nice setup. As a 80s baby this is what I always wanted
I'll be sure to try this after I get in my time machine.
i woulda had a gamegasm seeing all those consoles as a kid
Talk about nostalgic. Damn that brought back memories.
Watching this brought back childhood memories, thanks guys
Also Up, Up ,Up down , right down
Gives you Sonic the Hedgehog" Chili- dog- ality"
Dang, we will never have an era like that again.
I have a Nintendo 64 Nintendo Wii and a PlayStation 4. I am a super OG gamer who can appreciate this short on a whole another level
On the original arcade unit early on there was a fatality called “doo doo brown” with baraka where the blood looked like shit during a fatality. Ive never seen it since but it was definitely in the arcade version.
everyone who played MK in the 90s/2000s knew this. it was in all the magazines. I did it way back then.
I'm jealous of all your gamingness
Its fun watching new generations discovering our old games and tricks. Imagine the time we spent figuring this stuff out before internet. 😂😂
Dude I have so many memories playing this game as a kid, over and over, I had the Sega Saturn channel, and it was the shit, this game and earthworm Jim were my shizz
Sorry Sega channel
I used to go to my friends house with a notebook 📓 with all the tricks written down because we had no internet to search this stuffs, golden days
Memories. It's Krazy to think how we figured out these codes back then through magazines and local forums lol. I'm 36 now and remember it like yesterday
Dang bro you literally have a gamer's museum
That's so awesome 😎
The richest Eco moment and appreciate just how many video game consoles there actually are there I approve 😂
We all did this as a kid as it was in a gaming mag back in the day.
The term "Ohh, Nasty!" is a reference to the british TV Show "Knightmare" where the host, Treygard", would say this once a player died in the game.
You can also change the backgrorund to always be at the Armory instead of waiting. I believe the background is either 12 or 22
I love how so many retro videos should be left in the past n these secrets but the dudes that never knew about em now wanna be cool 😂
That mf summoned el Chapo in mortal kombat… I’m impressed
Who remember when game informer used to have the monthly magazine with the demo disk lol… the good ole days
