      Not trying to sound old-timey or elitist, but kids who didn't experience the early 90's explosion in fighting games REALLY missed out. For some quick background, my father ran his own video game store right around the time Mortal Kombat hit arcades. When it hit home consoles he bought this giant cardboard cutout of Goro for the store that I always marveled at as a kid. It was a special time back then until the late 90's when arcades died out and the fighting game market grew stale due to all the horrible copycat games flooding the market. Good times though!

    The word ‘code’ has many different definitions. The Shaolin martial arts tournament is governed by a system of rules of conduct.
    …An ethical code.
    The combatants respect each other as warriors, no matter what degree of hatred they have for one another.
    …A code of honor
    Another type of code could be defined as an arbitrary system of symbols and letters for transmuting messages.
    …A secret code
    Mortal Kombat adheres to many codes, but does it contain one?

Massive machine for four players, blinding marquee, and if the arcade owner had the machine volume up, the bass cannon would vibrate through your ribs. When a turtle bit the dust in the demo or from someone playing, you'd hear "SHELL SHOCK!" over everything else around you lol

    I am someone who grew up with the 3-D era for the PlayStation two and Xbox, and yet, there is something magical about the music of the first game that makes me come back to it more often than any. It gives me an old western vibe, when the lone gunmen is fighting dozens of men on horseback to reach his rival and save the girl. Considering that this is a dueling game and the soundtrack is electronic, I have no idea why I feel this way, but I love it!

I couldn't even get up to the machine because there were a crowd of popped collar jock guys all over it flipping tf out. They were betting money on matches.

Back then the characters were digitized images of actors/martial artists dressed up as them and I thought that was cool in addition to the blood and fatalities (which made Mortal Kombat popular but what also got it in trouble).
