2. In 1991 gaming started to become a normal
thing, violent games was at a minority and
the closest thing to dying was dropping to
the floor and disappearing but in 1992 Mortal
Kombat released and it started a huge war
between two tribes : the political world and
the world of gaming and things were never
the same the main thing for all of this is MK’s
fatality’s which included a guy ripping hearts
out, uppercutting a head off and my favourite,
grabbing their head and ripping their spine
off, its controversy made the ESRB rating.
Here is a montage of mk 1’s fatality’s

games of all time and is also one of the most
controversial, through its high level of blood and
gore and sparked more controversy through the
columbine massacre in 1999 after it was found
that Eric Harris and Dylan Kebold, the two
responsible, were avid DOOM players and made
a site hosting designed DOOM levels, while
planning, Eric said that the killing would be like
DOOM and that the shotgun came straight from

7. • GTA:The poster boy of violent
video games, most known is San
Andreas for its “Hot Coffee” mod
which was originally removed from
the game because the ESRB rated

“Mature”. The mod is a mini game
of the player having sexual
intercourse.
