Looking Back On MK; Part 3: Mortal Kombat 3, UMK3, MK:T

Mortal Kombat 3 came out right as I was first discovering Mortal Kombat. It would be a year or two before I finally played it, so for much of my childhood, it was no more than an exciting myth. The world wasn’t so small back then.

I can still remember my first real exposure to MK3. Family friends of mine had it, but we saw them maybe once a year, if that. Their dad got the codes faxed to him from the Nintendo Hotline, I remember thinking that was so cool.

Looking Back On MK; Part 2: Mortal Kombat II

Once Super Nintendo began to consume my childhood, and I started obsessing over Mortal Kombat; I eventually caught wind of the sequel. I was about 7 at the time if I remember correctly. My mum surprised me with Mortal Kombat II that year, trading The Flintstones: The Treasure Of Sierra Madrock (the second game we ever owned) for it.

This was my first experience with one of the games that changed my life.
