I was about 10 years old the first time I played a gory, violent game. That game? Mortal Kombat, at the arcade of a Tampa Putt-Putt. It was my best friend's birthday party, and the group of us was amazed at the blood, the weaponry, and the sheer brutality taking place. We couldn't get enough. Quarter after quarter were dropped into that cabinet, and we talked about MKII for weeks on end.
