| 1604 | Article | Vaporman87 | You and me both SoF. Those early/mid 80's toys were the ones I played with more than any others. I got so much use out of my Masters of the Universe/G.I. Joe/Star Wars/Transformers/Thundercats toys that they probably looked like 50 people played with them. | Dec 11, 2014 |  | |
| 1607 | Article | Hoju Koolander | That's an awesome introduction to the world of comic books, nice story. Image comics were pretty disposable to me, but the toys were the best. That first Spawn figure changed the game entirely. I had a few WildC.A.T.S. figures myself, in fact I made an "action figure movie" starring Maul and Hellspont with our family video camera. But Grifter definitely had the best design. | Christmas of 1994 | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1578 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was in my second year of college when this game first hit home consoles. I was fairly excited about it, though MK was never a favorite of mine. But when things really turned ugly and we had government stepping in to try and censor games, I got a little more interested in not just the game, but how it was being received. There is an article by raptor that covers a little bit of that episode. I enjoyed both versions for home consoles (the SNES and Genesis). For me however, I took my anger at some magazines, namely Electronic Gaming Monthly, to a whole other level. I too was seeing some editor bias in those days, and I was going to make my thoughts heard to these people. So one of my roommates and I typed up a 7 page letter and sent it to EGM. I still have a copy of that letter. It's hilarious to read now (thinking that such a thing would matter at all in life). But I guess we all were a little passionate about stupid things in our youth. As for my favorite character, I was always a Sub Zero/Scorpion fan. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 09, 2014 | |
| 1587 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @NLogan I almost referenced the Big Trouble In Little China Raiden/Rayden, he was always featured in the Saturday afternoon commercials for local TV broadcasts of the movie. I never knew about the different spellings or the breakdown in the original Japanese. Cool! @Vaporman87 Typing letters to magazines/newspapers, the original comments section! I bet your letter was infamous around the EGM offices. Scorpion was always my favorite guy as well. I had an obsession with grappling hooks, so his weapon of choice gave him instant status with me. Speaking of which, correction in the second to last paragraph: Johnny Cage fought Scorpion, not Liu Kang. Those freakin' colorful ninjas... | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1583 | Article | NLogan | <img src="/images/postImages/14182242597457398_4_l.jpg"> Raiden was my favorite from Big Trouble in Little China. Shang Tsung was my favorite from the movie not because I liked it, But because I met the actor Carey Hiroyuki Tagawa and he was awesome and a super nice guy. As for the video game I never played it much preferring to spend my quarters elsewhere. It never came out on the original NES that I rocked until college. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1584 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: LOL! Yeah, that "Rayden" was actually much cooler than the Lambert Rayden. Awesome movie. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1586 | Article | NLogan | Raiden (game spelling) and lightning from the three storms are way cooler than Rayden (movie and comic book spelling). Rai and den means thunder and lightning in Japanese, and is based off of Raijin the Shinto thunder and lightning god. He looks just like the Taoist god of thunder and has the Chinese character for thunder on his uniform. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1609 | Article | vkimo | Haha I never new Mortal Kombat went Broadway. Sounds kool. I really don't rekall when the MK bomb dropped initially. I do remember begging my parents to take us to the movie. My mom was somewhat of a helikopter parent so I was amazed she konsented to this, klearly she didn't know a thing about it. I remember shortly into the movie we see Liu's brother get the beat down from Shang Tsung. The whole time I was watching the movie I was also watching my mom who seemed more distressed by the moment. The final straw was when one of the guards did a flying jump kick and Sub Zero froze him and we him break into pieces and his frozen head slides up. Needless to say we left mid movie. I didn't see the point now because we already saw the worst part. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1636 | Article | MissM | I so remember the MK live tour. I never saw it but I had this Kollector's Edition magazine that featured images of the cast. It was so cool. This article was perfect at capturing that feel of the time. I remember so many debates in the cafeteria about the merits of Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat. Very cool images and a great article. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1651 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @MissM Thanks. Glad to know I'm not alone in remembering that this thing existed. Where did you get the magazine? Super Market? Toy Store? | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 15, 2014 | |
