500 years ago, Shang Tsung was banished to the Earth Realm. With the aid of Goro he was to unbalance the furies and doom the planet to a chaotic existence.

By seizing control of the Shaolin Tournament he tried to tip the scales of order towards chaos. Only seven warriors survived the battles and Shang Tsung's scheme would come to a violent end at the hands of Liu Kang.

Facing execution for his failure and the apparent death of Goro, Tsung convinces Shao Kahn to grant him a second chance.

Shang Tsung's new plan is to lure his enemies to compete in the Outworld where they will meet certain death by Shao Kahn himself.

Now the Kombat Kontinues . . .

Introduction

Welcome to the 21st, and perhaps final, revision of the FAQ. This guide has been compiled over the last year by the players on the net and myself. All moves and fatalities listed are confirmed. This guide is for arcade versions 3.1 and up. Older machines do not include some of the moves and many of the fatalities. If you find yourself playing on an outdated machine, have the owner contact Midway for the replacement chips.
