Mortal Kombat 1 Commercial - (1992) :30 (Germany)

The only difference between this and the US version are the text supers, with schlag dich durch... flashing by in this German version. Shot in what looks like downtown New York, young crowds of people gather around when someone yells "Mortal Kombat".
The music sounds like Kranz , (flashback to my clubkid days) or other techno, but the insight is quite simple:
Fight games are audience games. You watch your friends fight, you take a turn, it becomes a tournament, with everyone cheering and watching. It makes sense to call all your mates in to play Mortal Kombat.
