when i first saw the invisible glitch in mk1 vs goro at arcades, i was wtf, and didnt let the guy who did it, to go, until he told me how to do it lol

another fun stuff was the free game glitch in umk3, everyone picked to play vs noob, use the mimic tactic and get a free game

I remember me and my cousin playing MK3 versus mode, and where trying to play 100 games so that we can play that little star ship game. It took awhile and it got boring but we wanted to try it out. The thing that would piss me off the most was after u die in that mini game, thats it, u get no xtra chances or anything. So we where just thinking all that for nuthin. Good times tho.

My first mk game, mk1 for snes when i was 7, oh boy did I i love that game. Then me and my cousin exchanged games, he had MK3 for snes, and i gave my mk for snes. When I started to play mk3 at my house, i got scared, because i thought it was way diffrent, because the snes mk1 had no blood and repainted it grey to make it look like sweat, well we all know that mk3 DID have blood in that game. I got so scared playing it, I pulled it out of my snes panicing, then through it at the wall, then the next day gave it back my old game, and gave his, then later that week, i said "I sould have kept that other game for a little longer".


THE END!

Good times, Good times.

OMG I feel like an old fart now... I have seen all parts of MK appear in the arcades in Holland and played all of them up till MK4, the guys in Rotterdam always had fatality codes within a week so I enjoyed myself immensely by watching them show it all off before I started to play the latest game at the time...
The coolest moment however was playing MK1 in a desolated arcade, early in the morning and accidentally performing Subbies fatality for the first time... I was laughing like crazy!
Later on, when MK2 and 3 came available, we all had a big laugh over babalities and friendships.

the only game that ever came close to the MK-experience was Killer Instinct, with its massive combo's, fatalities and, best of all, humiliation... I remember a female character performing that would unbutton her shirt so she could scare her opponent to death (which makes you wonder what was so scary, the mere size of her chest or something else... )

I remember playing MK2 at the Laundry mat.I came by their eveyday just to play some MK2.The good memories...

I saw in the 4th grade and saved up enough pennies to buy MK1 on the genesis. I remember going to Walmart with my mom and it still is a great game to play. I remember getting MK2 and getting angry that SNES had a better version, but I still love MK2 Genesis because I grew up with it.

I played it at CC's pizza
Good pizza+good game=awesome
I went there some other day this year and found out umk3 machine was broken
*sigh*
oh well i remember pwning anyone who came near that machine and slipped in 2 quaters
The pwnage
AHHHH

MKT Brutalities was da shiz, Why take them away :( Also back n mk1 i thought i was da shiz and played my sis and she kicked my ass lol wut noobies did to win in games Flip kick or leg sweep and i hate using block so i lose so i learnt to use block and now she dun play no more cuz she cant win LOL

Cool post, dude. I love reading these early memories. My nephew took me into an arcade one day in London as he was a huge Streetfighter fan and I spotted this totally realistic fighting game with these characters done up like comic book characters and using realistic martial arts moves and it fried my brain. Somehow I ended up with a SNES in order to play/live the first MK game myself and have been hooked ever since; UMK3 in the arcades was my whole world for about six months until MK Trilogy appeared and compared to the Tekkens and SF`s, no other game characters engage the brain like Skorpion, SubZero, Kano and Rayden or Jade or Sonya or, you get the idea.

Rock on, dude!

ElSloano64 ( Mortal Kombat Scottish Chapter)

Watching MK Conquest every single day, like a religious act. Never miss an episode. At that time, i didn't have much Mortal Kombat mythologies wisdom, and knowledge about the entire story, so i just couldn't get why wasn't Liu Kang, Sonya, Cage etc, in the series. But i really didn't miss them, what i couldn't really understand was why Siro and Taja were not playable characters in the games, since Kung Lao was.
Lol, old times... i guess i never heard the announcer saying "... centuries ago, in a time of darkness and fury..." in the opening of the episodes.
Anyway, now, i have all the episodes

About games, i remember playing MK1 countless times in the SNES.

I started playing Mortal Kombat in a Costco mart in conneticuit. While my parents were out shopping, I would flock to the arcade to try it out. Some of the older veterans of the game started taking a liking to me and started showing me some of the characters moves. Sure, at first I'd get raped by these guys, but after awhile, I started geting better day by day the more I played. Finally, the next christmas, MK showed up under my christmas tree as my favorite present out of all of them. I was so excited, the first thing I did was run down stairs and plugged it in as fast as I could.when I turrned it on I saw the infamous Goro beat up the Acclaim Icon in a loud greusome roar! I knew it! I was hooked!
