The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit... (startrek.website)

5 year old me thought it looked photorealistic.

    They did have people dress as the fighters and do poses and then took photos of them and turned these photos into sprites.

    So the game was photorealistic (that is within the technological boundaries of the platforms the game ran on).

    I'd love to see a 2D Mortal Kombat with the original photos taken from what we may consider the OG Mortal Kombat cosplayers.
