Hello! I am new (clearly) to the forums, although I've been a fan of the site for many years. My love affair w/ MK started with MK 2, which my stepfather rented from a video store, much to the annoyance of my mother. We played that game for hours! When we went to return the game to the store, we found it had gone out of business and closed up, so we just kept it. Sadly, my stepfather died a few years later, so I guess I feel connected to him when I play MK.
