okay, so i have this memory from when i was a kid around 6-7 of walkin into wal-mart(or some store) mind you this is when MK1 just came out on home consoles. and they had a SNES hooked up with mortal kombat to play with 2 controllers also, anywho i was walking toward this big crowd of people around 10-15 people.wondering what was up. and thats when i realized(SP?) that they where waiting there turn to play mortal kombat, the way they had it set-up was winner stays and plays the next person.. well it was finally my turn i was going up against this guy that won alot. nedless to say i got my ass handed to me. But i got right back in-line. I WAS HOOKED. and the guy was kind enough to tell me how to do scorpions, and Subby's Fatalitys... so after my parents where done in wal-mart i begged them to go to the Little Ceasers down the street. where they had Mk1 for the arcade, ate some pizza and spent my allowance on MK1.. god the memories... here's a odd little fact about that pizza place, they still had the MK1 machine up untill 2005.. and i use to go play it every so often.

those where the days where you could be new at playing a fighting game. and not have the VETS laugh you out of the Arcades... they actually gave you tips on how to be better.... well enough of my post... whats some of your memories from when MK was BIG....

on a side note there is this arcade in a small town about 15mins away from me that has UMK3 still, and i go there atleast 2times a month to play it.
