The nostalgic goggles : Mortal Kombat

Finish him

The voice said. The bigger kid is trying to give in a code but nothing happens.

He tries again and suddenly the screen turns darker and one of the ninjas who were fighting before takes of his mask and breathe fire on the other one.

The people around are laughing.

I am in kind of in shock.

WTF did I just witness

Let me tell you young Flipstar...this was the first Fatality you saw.

I was hooked instantly. I always enjoyed Beat em ups like Street Fighter but that was something new.

A bloody, gory Street Fighter

The game was Mortal Kombat 1

I became a huge part of the series, despite me being not 18 yet and it was hard to get for minor. The fire breathing ninja whose name is Scorpion became my favorite character.

I bought Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES from an older friend and despite Mario it is the game I used the most time for and still never beat it as it got frustrating unfair at the end.

I tried to unlock all the hidden characters but the clues the game were giving you were a bit to cryptic for me.

Remember that was a time before the internet and all the codes were from magazines or exchanged on the school yard.

After all this years and many more MK games which came out over the years and pushed the violence even further, I am still a fan of the franchise.

The newest game Mortal Kombat X is a pretty good fighting game and Netherrealm Studios has by far the best Story Modus I have seen in a fighting game.

Injustice 2 just proofed that again how many lightyears they are ahead in this aspect of their competition.
