put your shirt back on

Retro hypothetical query:

Does anyone remember the old (and I mean OLD) Mortal Kombat games? The standard side-scrolling fighting games where you just beat the shit out of someone, usually breaking every rule of reality (up to and including the fourth wall) to do so?

Remember how hard it was to get those god damn fatalities to work? LONG BEFORE PEOPLE REALIZED THAT GAMERS = SCHOOL SHOOTERS, THEY WERE CENSORING US.

Jesus, I remember screaming at my Playstation because I could not figure out if it wanted me to hit up and down simultaneously or one at a time, just so I could see Scorpion rip someone's spine out.

Perhaps a case-and-point scenario, but that shit was frustrating!
