A fascinating article on various illegal NES ports of Mortal Kombat:

Wow, I had no idea Mortal Kombat was pirated that hard. MK5 looks particularly awful.

3DS is very good, and Wii U!

Yeah. MK is a mess on the NES. I believe there were LEGAL ports of MK for the Master System since it was huge in South America.

There's a surprisingly good but incomplete Mario World port for NES as well.

Heh, I was just looking up that NES Super Mario World out of curiosity, it does look surprisingly decent (graphically). But the physics just look awful.

I've never seen so many palette Swaps in any game like that before... Though I'm tempted to play these pirated games, but I don't know if the article explained it but what is a "Kart Fighter"?

Kart Fighter isn't good, but it's probably the best fighting game on the NES.

I can't find a ROM of this anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where to start?

Karate Champ is easily the best fighting game on NES.

Though the two-player mode of Double Dragon probably isn't as good as Kart Fighter.

There's another website that does the same thing as this one, but better. I can't seem to remember the name at the moment.

I'm impressed by the attention to detail in this site's writing, but I don't like how a lot of articles don't end properly.
