Gamespot just did this great 20 minute video on MK that includes the original cast/actors as well as interviews with the creators.
This game (arcade) was my first taste of rebellion. I can remember setting aside lunch money throughout the week to play this cabinet at Fun Time Skateland.. I was 8 or 9.

I remember owning MK Trilogy on the n64.

You best recognize I bought the ginormous fatality, animality, etc cheat book.

Spent hours doing each and everyone's finishing moves.

I used to work at Software Etc back in high school, and I remember it was a huge deal when MKII came out on the consoles (Super Nintendo and Genesis). After it was all over, I got to take home the 6 foot tall cardboard display. It was pretty badass.

My dad and I played MKII for hours. Pretty impressive that he could do the finishing move for Lu Kang, but I guess he was only 38 or so at the time, so he wasn't completely old at the time.

I never played this game. Did it have any gratuitous nudity in it?

I used to go to the bank at 8am on a Saturday to take out $10 in quarters. Then I'd head to the arcade and spend basically the entire day playing that game. There would always be 10-15 people there watching, so there'd always be tournaments going on and that kind of thing. It was way more fun than it really should have been in retrospect.

I guess you didn't play the latest one. Check out Mileena's alternate

It is very good. You won't find another fighting game with a cooler story mode or unlockables area. This game was very well-received.

Huh, I might have to check it out for old times sake.

I hadn't played any Mortal Kombats since MKIII, then I finally played the new one. It was amazing.
