Mortal Kombat 1 Story.

The Sega CD version is the closest port to the arcade version. I will note that it is more convenient to have the genesis port.

Technically you would also have to play the N64 version as well because it has the secret character Khameleon but that 1 difference isn't worth putting in the list.
