14 Most Memorable Closing Lines In Video Game History

14. "Finish Him!"- Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat, the most infamous fighter since its inception, has had plenty of memorable moments in the series' lifetime, such as adding hilarious and humiliating Babalities and causing the creation of the ESRB. However, a constant centrepiece throughout the entire journey has been the announcer's enthusiasm during the fights, providing energetic accompaniment to the fight whilst the combatants pummel each other. However, his most favoured quote is easily his decree to "Finish Him!" directed towards the loser of the round. Fight gaming's number one quote, the announcer's command in Mortal Kombat will forever be associated with terrible dismemberment, ruthless and innovative pugilism, and the occasional raised concern from mothers the world over. Ingrained into the minds of combatants everywhere, the quote signals to the player that they are allowed to rip their enemy to shreds in a show of strength and a sign of victory, and naturally, it gets better when in a 2-player match, where the loser has to helplessly listen to the loud demand of the announcer whilst watching the victor tear them apart for the finale.
