When mortal kombat 3 had come out, the 7-11 by my house had the arcade cabinet (when 7-11 still had cabinets) and me and my friends would spend so much money in there. There was even a game informer or one of those gaming magazines on sale that had all the moves and fatalities listed so we'd run over, grab the magazine and prop it up while we played.
I will admit though that I was just a cheap bastard and would play as Cyrax and spam the net and hit them with a huge combo. I best the game so many times at the cabinet doing it. Everyone hated playing against me as well.
