I want Kronika to step on my face
Nostalgia time.
I was thinking about how strange my first experience with Mortal Kombat was, so I thought I'd ask you how was the very first time you've ever played a Mortal Kombat game.
So back in I think 1996, I once came across a handheld gaming device that belonged to my cousin. Remember those 1-game handheld devices that were everywhere back in the 90s? Yeah, those. Anyway I pick up this one device, I was only 6 and I didn't know any English back then, so I couldn't tell what this game was about. I start messing around and pressing buttons, and I see that there are 2 characters fighting on the screen, and one of them is shooting dead fish out of his hands. I played for maybe 15 minutes with it then the hyper-activeness you have when you're a child took over and I moved on to whatever. I didn't know what the game was and my cousins didn't either. But I found it interesting and it just stuck in my mind.
A couple of years later I had my first "real" MK experience. One of my friends had a console (Sega I think) and he had UMK3 on it. We met regularly at his place (a bunch of 10 or 15 kids maybe) just to play that game and figure stuff out. We were mashing buttons and getting kicks and punches until we found out that with a combination of buttons you can get special moves out. I'll never forget the first time I pressed DF LP and got my first Ice Ball
After that we started looking up moves lists on the internet, fatality inputs, the ridiculously difficult brutality inputs, write them all down on paper and have it all ready for the next MK session. The good old days.
Years later, out of nowhere, I had this epiphany; I suddenly remembered that one game I played for like 15 minutes when I was about 6 years old, and I realized that that game must have been Mortal Kombat, and the guy shooting dead fish out of his hands was actually Raiden shooting thunder bolts. I always thought they were dead fish because they looked like Fish Bone from Super Mario World. For some reason, that one device, that one game, stuck in my mind all those years and I never forgot it, destiny?
I just googled and found the game I played, voila:
TL;DR: Played the handheld version of MK when I was a very little kid, didn't know what the game was. Couple of years later I was introduced to MK3. Years later I suddenly realized that the mysterious game I once played was in fact MK, see the spoiler above.
