Has it been 20 YEARS already? Today marks the 20th anniversary of our first official full length combo video for UMK3. It can be seen here, “redux’d” by ded_. This video was released August 30th, 2003.
For those of you only familiar with KombatNetwork since the inception of MK9, before then we were known as DarkTemplarz.com . This was a “pre-youtube/social media era,” user content media driven, variety website comprised of a bunch of fighting game players with a little forum in their corner of the interwebz that eventually turned into a dedicated, classic MK forum called UltimateMK.com .
There are still some of you around from back then, and many people have helped make these videos over the years either contributing, sharing or even editing. We made about a dozen of these Classic MK specific centric videos with the goal of generating interest in what were already old games 20 years ago. It even spawned a series of videos done by our affiliates under our banner.
I (Shock) really miss making these videos, and perhaps there’s some more to come in the future, or some sort of informational series. Who knows! Keep your eyes peeled.
This is emulated UMK3+ on an optimized/tweaked Windows 10 to reduce lag as much as possible that Arturo was working on that night, about 90% through the process for that specific system. @UMKShock was there dropping off the UMK3 console board to be fixed and tested this out along with @Super_Joe_78 on his custom UMK3 arcade stick snack trays!
