20 Iconic Gaming Moments You Must See Before You Die

9. Finish Him! - Mortal Kombat

NetherRealm Studios

The best thing about Mortal Kombat's Fatalities - besides their comically gory nature - is that there are so many to choose from. The folks at NetherRealm (formally Midway) should be proud that their series is now well over two decades old and is - most would agree - currently better than it's ever been.

Mortal Kombat X may have given us the most realistic-looking overkills known to man, but they certainly don't take away from some of the earlier game's wackier, sometimes way more violent finishers.

If you're bored and feel like you could burn an hour and a half of your life watching YouTube videos, why not watch every single Fatality across the series' history in one sitting?

You can thank me later.
