Back in October/November 1995 this all went down.....the much anticipated MK3 release. At first I had it reserved for SNES but then when I got a PS1 I got it for that.... but yeah it was exciting because PS1 was supposed to get it two weeks before the other home consoles (turned out to be only one week..it was delayed a week. I think it came out on the 7th of November maybe). I was very excited because this game was just great in arcades, revolutionary in MK terms. But Smoke was totally my fave character in the arcade.... so I really wanted to play with him when I got the home version...but remember I didn't have access to the internet at the time, so maybe the code for him was already out as soon as the game came out...but for me, I had to wait for magazines. For the longest time I just didn't think he was in the game....but then like a day before (or the day of) we left to go see some family a couple hours away for Thanksgiving (almost a month after I got the game) I found a magazine (gamepro I think) in a video store and it had the code for Smoke......I was so excited!

Man that game is almost 10 years old, weird huh?

uhh i thought smoke WAS in MK3. i was able to play with him in MK3
in the MK3 arcade version Smoke needed to be unlocked via UKK (Ultimate Kombat Kode) after someone put in the code Smoke was playable until the Machine was reset or shut off

Yeah so for a couple months after MK3's release in arcades, you only got to play as 14 characters.....and then someone cracked the code and figured out how to play as Smoke.

I remember it was supposed to take longer cuz Midway was dropping clues that were like crazy and I have no idea how anyone woulda been able to figure it out.

Anyway with the PS1 release, it too had a code so I had to wait like a month to play as Smoke.

God, I used to hate that, waiting for magazines to come out for codes, now you can get codes before the game even comes out.
