I've been a Mortal Kombat fan since 1992 when the first game came out. I remember playing it in the arcades and, soon after, playing it on my Sega Genesis.

It was so incredible. The game was so different than any other fighting game. The blood, the gore, the violence. All the aspects contributed to the awesomeness it offered. All of that was so revolutionary that it helped push the rating system of all video games. It was so crazy that it was banned in Australia.

The only other fighting game that was even remotely interesting at the time was Street Fighter II that I would play with a buddy at the neighborhood 7-11. And, of course, there was Pit Fighter that had the same kind of graphics that I would play at the local arcade. Once Mortal Kombat became available to me, that's all I played.

It kind of bothered me that the home version did not have blood in it and the Fatalities were turned off. But then, the sweetest word in Mortal Kombat history came. DULLARD. That's right. Down, Up, Left, Left, A,
