3. Mortal Kombat

Once upon a time, Mortal Kombat was forbidden fruit to an entire generation of young gamers - a fighting game neither parents nor the media wanted them to play, and so of course, they absolutely had to.

But rallying a few friends to play Mortal Kombat typically led to fast frustration, because in addition to the owner of the game having swotted-up on all the deadliest combos, there’s always that one person who just picks Liu Kang and spams flying kicks ad nauseum.

Playing Mortal Kombat with friends is fun in theory, but when you’re getting bodied for the sixth time in a row and torn apart by a Fatality your opponent spent an hour memorising before you met up, it’s tough not to hate them just a teensy bit.
