Whats up?

As you know, there have been 3 games with the classic MK games, cool i thought. I have just bought Deadly Alliance for PS2, and i liked it. Then i would like to buy Deception, but then i heard that you would get MK1 with the special edition. And i was like "YEESS!" when i heard that. So i go to a nearby EB Games, but i can only find the standard version. So i go home and look where i can find it, but.. IT'S NTSC ONLY !!
and i live in Europe(PAL).. goddamn

Then i look for MK: Armageddon on the net, And you know what? A Arcade perfect version of UMK3 on the special Editon. And guess what? NTSC...

But then i thought, where is MK2? Ahh, shaolin Monks. I have heard good things about this game so i look it op. AND YEESSS MK2 is on Shaolin monks.. so i order it from a shop, and goes on to read about it, just for fun. And see:

Another contribution to this game is an unlockable emulated version of Mortal Kombat II, present in all Xbox versions and in the NTSC Playstation 2 version. Whilst the means to unlock the game are included in the PAL release of Shaolin Monks for the Playstation 2 (the completion of side missions given to the player or players by Smoke), Mortal Kombat II itself is not included in this version.

... i refunded it and got my money back. It looked hopeless, but since MK2 was on ALL xbox versions i was happy, i have Xbox 360.. But you know.. IT IS NOT BAKCWARDS COMPATIBLE.

Please help me, im a MK fan in a need of help..

Microsoft has been slow to produce backwords compatibility. That may be part of it.

So the rest of the disk works? I think I may have heard of that problem before, but I don't know why that happens.

I guess if i search hard enough i will maybe find one, but it dosent matter since since it is a NTSC version.. so the Closest i get to the Classic games is The xbox version of Shaolin monks. How big are the chance of the game going Backwards?

You can get Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition for PC. Has MK through MK3.

You aren't missing anything with the UMK3 that comes with Armageddon. It ran terribly. UMK for DS is better. And UMK3 for Xbox 360 (XBLA game) is the best home version of UMK3 made yet.
