I was six years old when MK hit the arcades, and I remember playing it in the arcades and thinking, "wow, just wow." When MK2 came out, I had no idea that it had; I didn't really follow gaming magazines @ that time. I walked into the local arcade and saw a line of people waiting to play a game, and I thought, "wow, just what could this be?" Low and behold it was MK2, and I was mesmerized by the game. I bought every magazine I could that lead up to MK3 and was blown away by the game when it came out. Same deal for MK4. MK5-7 were all the same games in my opinion. I was not thrilled by them because I knew too much information via the internet. I am going to know only ONE thing about MK8, and that is the release date. I am not going to spoil the WOW factor for this game as I did the last 3. Anyone else feel the same way?
