I can say the same about MK being my little best friend. For me, it all started when I was a 5 year old in a flea market and someone had MK1 for SNES. I thought it looked cool because of Goro on the back of the box. It was like 10 bucks so my mom said yeah why not, here ya go kid. That was the best decision my mom ever made for me as a parent
