Even though Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 4 are about 20 years old games, the two classics don't stop inspiring fans of the franchise all over the world who put the original arcade versions literally under the microscope. The Hacking/Modding Communities don't stop surprise the fans. Here are two of the latest discoveries:

Mortal Kombat II Secret Characters Now Playable

After years of failed attempts, the Mortal Kombat II Arcade secret characters Jade, Noob Saibot and Smoke are finaly fully playable thanks to abystus. The three fighters retain their original gameplay properties, like increased speed and life and even have finishing moves. Take a look at some videos:

Playable Noob Saibot and Kitana icon discovered in Mortal Kombat 4 Rev. 1.0

For years the ellusive black ninja Noob Saibot has remained completely hidden on the arcade version of Mortal Kombat 4 and it was believed that the character exists only in non-released beta versions of the game.

This all changed when abystus discovered a lot of unused content in the Revision 1.0 rom. Here is a list of the discovered content:

- Kitana (Tower portrait only, unfortunately. Was completely removed in 2.1 and 3.0.)
- Noob Saibot (Not normally selectable. Was completely removed in 2.1 and 3.0, but has been playable in earlier beta builds.)
- Unused Character Bios (Revision 1.0 did not have these enabled, and for good reason. These were later fleshed out with the real character bios in 2.1.)
