Many years, attempts at getting the franchise banned and sequels, Midway is at it again, sticking to their successful run on home consoles with Mortal Kombat Deception. There was no game like this ever before in terms of violence and blood. All that changed, however, the day Midway introduced a fighting game by the name of Mortal Kombat to an unsuspecting public. Yes, it was a happy time when parents would dump there children into arcades and go on about their business, secure in the idea that nothing could go wrong or ruin the fragile little minds of their children. All this was before the annoying days of people putting their quarters on the screen, signifying that they were next (this would lead me to throwing said quarters onto the ground and then lead to a fist fight which usually resulted in being ejected from the arcade for the day). People would surround the newest and hottest games eagerly awaiting the chance to challenge the resident arcade wizard. Spending countless hours and quarters at Aladdin?s Castle, the local mall arcade, or the mini arcade at the movie theater. When I think about the game Mortal Kombat, it conjures memories of my youth (not that I?m old or anything?I?m still in my mid-twenties?that?s not old, right), a simpler time when a quarter actually allowed you to play a video game at the arcade.
