Mortal Kombat 3

Mortal Kombat 3 is a 2D fighting game developed by Midway Home Entertainment and published for the PAL PlayStation market by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, serving as the third entry in the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. The game introduced combo systems, a Run button, multi-level playfields, and new Fatality types, continuing the series’ reputation for graphic and brutal combat.

Two PAL variants are catalogued in the database, both Original releases and both exclusive to the UK market. The two variants are distinguished by their case format: one is presented in a standard Cardboard sleeve, the other in a Standard CD Jewel case, the latter of which carries a research note suggesting it may be a special edition pressing. Both releases contain a single disc in English only, with no hologram on the case and no loose paperwork or bundled demo discs documented. The earliest recorded PAL release date is 15 November 1995. The unusual Cardboard case format and the unverified Standard CD Jewel pressing make this a particularly interesting pair for collectors, especially given the UK-exclusive PAL distribution.
