YouTube’s ‘Bitplex’ has released an incredible video, showing what a re-imagined 3D version of the classic 2D fighter, Mortal Kombat 2, could have looked like. Bitplex used sprites and screenshots of the game to extrude various components and create a true 3D environment from a static image.
The process has taken him over 2 months of hard work to complete and it looks retro-amazing. In fact, this reminded me of the NES emulator that turned all NES 2D games into 3D games.
As a bonus, we’ve also included below a second video showing a re-imagined 3D version of the classic 1989 Prince of Persia.
Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved - and still does - the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
