Big problem with MK Deception Premium Pack (MK1) #1

I have the PS2 version. I can't believe no one has complained about this yet but I just found a huge problem with MK1. NO FREAKING REPTILE!! I got a double flawless & fatality on the pit using Johnny Cage and nothing happened... I just went on to the next stage. Then I started a new game and did it again with Scorpion. Again, nothing happened. Then I went online to get ProAction Replay codes so I could test it quicker with the remaining characters and still nothing. You can't fight him. Arcade perfect my ass.

Um, reptile does not appear until MKII... Ermac is in MKI, not Reptile. :roll:

Um...you have no idea what you are talking about at all. Reptile is the hidden character in MK1. Ermac didn't exist until UMK3. Up until then Ermac was a hoax made up by EGM.

JC10001 is right. Reptile was in MK1, and you're supposed to fight him in the bottom of the pit after doing something, I forgot.

Ermac was in MK1, it was an error in the game where scorpion appeared red
 
wow...i thought EVERYONE knew reptile was in MK1....

yes reptile is the first hidden character in the series.

and yes "ermac" did appear as an error which said something like "error macro" and scorpion turned red so yes and no...ermac wouldnt exist without this error.
 
I believe, given that there is still hope for reptile being at the bottom of the pit, that you are also required not to hit the block button at all, along with the double flawless. I can't confirm any of this, haven't given much time to my MK1 from the premium pack. But I do know that that was one of the requirements for Reptile back in '92.

You seem to be forgetting two things.

1. Was there a shadow flying across the moon? I've heard the shadows appear every 40 matches, so it may take some time.

2. You can not use the block button.

Here's the full code to fight reptile http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/code/3564.html
 
QUESTION: Does Shang Tsung morph? Because they couldn't make him morph for MKDA on any of the new consoles because it laggs when he morphs. So if he does morph, I don't get why MK:Trilogy lagged for PS1 and why the morph now wouldn't lagg the systems since the CD has to read the data of the other characters to load them and that's like loading a new program on a PC so some lagg should still be present.

The game is run via an emulator (arcade emulator) which loads the whole game into memory when you start it up. So since the whole game is already in memory, so there is no load times for anything in the game.
 
so has anyone seen reptile in the new MK1? I can't believe these folks didn't even know about reptile or how to find him. You can even see the silhouette in the MKD pit level.

i didn't get the kollectors pack, but maybe i should find a copy of the mk1 disc and play a bit for old times sake.

Yeah reptile was freaking impossible to find in the arcade version and they made it easier in the home versions. The home versions you just had to have double flawless and a fatality. Arcade you had to do that plus the thing had to fly in front of the moon and you could't block.
