30 Years of Mortal Kombat: A Retrospective Thread

**Helmsphere** · 10-08-2022, 11:37 AM

The first time I played Mortal Kombat was inside a food lion. I usually would play wrestlefest but they removed it to put Mortal Kombat in. I played as Johnny Cage and eon a few matches despite not knowing what I was doing. Wouldn't have much experience with it until it hit home consoles and a friend had it on Sega Genesis and put the blood code in. I remember being amazed and laughing at Kane fatality because it looked like he took a bite of the Heart he just ripped out and threw it on the ground.

My mom somehow managed to get me MK2 about 2 weeks before the game released. The funny story about this was we had some kid who was full of shit saying he was working on the third game himself which you know couldn't be real and that he has MK2 at home like 2 months before release. I walked into my second grade class that day and threw the instruction booklet on his desk.
