Mortal Kombat. Fucking love that game. I used to work at an arcade in a mall, and after close I’d hang out and play for free in the dark all by myself.

One night I was playing, again, by myself in a dark arcade with just a row of games on, in a dark empty mall. I was playing Liu Kang and had just beat the shit out of and fatalitied Kano on the bridge.

I’m expecting to go to the next level, instead this green ninja looking like Scorpion and Sub-Zero that I had never seen before drops into the screen. I had no knowledge of Reptile being hidden in the game, and it scared the ever loving shit out of me. My heart was racing, adrenaline pumping, and my hands were shaking so bad I got my ass handed to me in the next fight.
