What is your earliest memory? Mine was playing after school at a friends place then hiding the cartridge under a couch cushion so my buddies parents would not find it. https://twitter.com/MortalKombat/status/1578414866523901952
30 Years of Kombat, Fatalities, Friendships, and Victories! Join us as we celebrate the legacy of #MortalKombat!
I devoured quarters at an MK cabinet that sat in a Holiday Inn. I never would have imagined pouring over Fatalities in magazines as a kid that I'd get to contribute even a small portion to the history of MK. Thanks to all the fans for making that possible! https://twitter.com/noobde/status/1578415621569540097
30 Years of Mortal Kombat. Can you share your first experience with MK? Where were you? Which MK was it? What do you remember?
I remember being astonished by the uppercut in MK1, the attract mode (GORO!) and the feeling the cabinet had. Probably before I could reach the sticks?
MK Trilogy was my first time learning what Kombat was.
Here's to 30 more years of Kombat! https://twitter.com/noobde/status/1578415621569540097

Playing the 1st one when it came out in 1992, in my room with my cousins. Spamming Johnny Cage's "Nut cracker" move and giggling everytime. 😆🤜🥜 https://twitter.com/noobde/status/1578415621569540097
