What Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a fighting game developed by Avalanche Software and released in 1997. It was published by Gradiente. It is available on Nintendo 64 and PlayStation.

The premise, in the publisher's words

In a storyline that is reminiscent of Looking Glass's Thief, the Lin Kuei assassin/thief is sent to steal an important document; this mission proves to be a test from a mysterious character (which turns out to be MK4's Quan Chi) and who charges you upon retrieval of this object to recover an ancient medallion of untold power. However once you retrieve the medallion, Quan Chi reveals that he actually tricked you, and the medallion is the key to awakening the demonic Shinnok (yup, the same baddie from MK4). You must now become a reluctant hero, as you pursue Quan Chi trough hell itself hoping you get to Shinnok before him.
