Okay, this has been driving me crazy for a few years.
To start, I stumbled onto this excellent breakdown of the different versions of Mortal Kombat for DOS:

I'm sure I had the UltraTech version, though I'm not sure if it was the first or second release. Alas, I do not have the floppies anymore 😠
What's bugging me to no end is, I swear I remember in the controls options there being an option for the Gravis Gamepad, separate from the 4 button joystick. I also remember that when using this option, the four buttons would be assigned to the attack buttons, and holding two buttons (I believe it was low punch and high punch) at the same time would block. I much prefer this control scheme to the 4 button joystick option. I already know that I can use a key mapping program to simulate this functionality, but am I the only one who remembers this? Every version of MK for DOS I've tried in the recent past does not offer this control option. I also didn't see it discussed in the aforementioned website, which has an in depth description of the different control options on hand.
