Mortal Kombat did indeed appear on the NES, if you count Hong Kong pirate carts.

**Wolfian:** Either you’re talking about a Game Genie code, or you’re misremembering and thinking of the Genesis version. The Genesis MK blood code has to hold the record for “Fastest Leaked Cheat Code in a Console Game.”

Down, Up, Left, Left, A, Right, Down on the Options screen? (That’s been umpteen jillion and five years ago, and I like MK2 better anyway.)

**brianjedi:** Sort of. That code is more of a general cheat code. The blood-only code is ABACABB on the “code” screen in the intro.

One more nitpicky thought: the traditional Russian folk song used in the _Tetris_ part of the medley is the A-song from the Game Boy version. The A-song from the NES version\* was _Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies_.

\*The Nintendo NES version of _Tetris_, that is. _Tetris_ was a big part of the Nintendo-Atari war. Long story, but good one.
