I am unaware of many Mortal Kombat type games designed for the PC, as was introduced during the episode "Game Over." Furthermore, I do not know such games to have what is apparently the ultimate opponent to be selectable and have the fighter combat three other opponents prior to the conclusion of the game, unless of course it is in endurance or tournament mode. When all is forgotten, though, I rather enjoyed the episode "Game Over" and thoroughly appreciated the well-anticipated Mortal Kombat spoof.
Well, there are lots of MK games for the PC, and keep in mind that perhaps the user has cheat codes to let him skip levels...

How exactly does leaving with a game transpose one (or as it stands, three) to another system? I fathom the game was removed from the CD-ROM drive and consigned to the user's colleague who in turn loaded the game into his own computer's system. This perpetuated until Enzo Matrix, AndrAIa, and Frisket arrived at a system connected to the web. Furthermore, presuming my theory is correct, Enzo Matrix would have had to conquer the Mortal Kombat spoof's user when the game was played on the user's colleague's computer's system to release AndrAIa, Frisket, and himself from the game, thus implying Enzo Matrix was better prepared and resultfully successful the second go around. Obviously, this is contrary to a later duel between Enzo Matrix and residual RAM space of the user from the Mortal Kombat spoof, considering Enzo Matrix declares, "Not this time." Also worth mentioning is the amount of systems the trio has visited. My estimate is a little over twelve. And of all nuances pertaining to the series I do wish they could be more meticulous regarding individual games' time discrepancies when compared to that of the inhabited system's time. It sounds to me as if the games have the same effect as experienced by Capt. Jean-Luc Picard during the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode in which he was mentally existing within that probe's chimerical (def.: imaginary) realm for an entire lifetime and had conclusively discovered how he was unconscious for only fifteen minutes. Although, Enzo Matrix, AndrAIa, and Frisket bear what the senescence process has done to them by the time they return to Mainframe. Well, not so much Frisket, more so because he ought to have died along the way from the short life span of canines, but definitely Enzo Matrix and AndrAIa.
Funny, one would think games would be time expanded. After all, games take more than a couple of microseconds to play!
Personally, my favourite is the game in "Mend & Defend" (ie, the spoof of "Evil Dead 2" in a Doom style engine. That was really slick.
The Mad Max game. Because the user was cool enough to play it.
Most of the games put the user in the role of "bad guy" while the mainframers play the "good guy", especially games like Starship Alcatraz (The Tiff) and Wild West (High Code). The notable exception is Malicious Corpses (To Mend And Defend).
Malicious Corpses... good pun on Evil Dead
Ok, I know that this is about four years after the post but....
I always thought that the games were downloaded from the internet and when one system was done with it, it would move onto the next downloader.
