My favorite episode from 2020. I'm an extreme Mortal Kombat fan. "GET OVER HERE!"

I remember when this game came out. I had super Nintendo and my friend had a Sega Genesis. We got the blood code from a magazine. It still works on the popular emulators these days. I'll never forget ABA CABB

Fun fact: if any of you don't remember Mortal Kombat 2 being as difficult as you remember, that because it is! Modern Vintage Gamer went over how the ingame AIs perform harder moves while even skilled players still need to press the buttons in the right order just to do the same.

I'm surprised it's not pointed out that in the Genesis version Subzero has the same fighting stance as Scorpion. In the SNES version Subzero has his unique fighting stance. This drove me absolutely mental as a kid. Still does.....

I took a peek, and was blown away about how realistic it looked (back then, of course). That same Xmas, I got the Genesis version, and still have it today. Oh my, MK rip-offs is next!?
