Me and fighting games have an interesting history I would like to share, but for now, let’s focus on Killer Instinct (SNES) game. After censoring the violence in Mortal Kombat, Nintendo had become the company for ‘kid-friendly’ games. Despite keeping the violence in its sequels, it’s a stigma they can never remove. I first learned about the game in a Nintendo Power VHS tape promoting Donkey Kong Country and the game was shown in the after credits.
Christmas of 1995 I was fortunate to get two games instead of one. While the arcade version was available, I didn’t play it until after I got the SNES version. The instruction booklet was nice to give you info on how to moves and combos. It wasn’t until I played the arcade version and got defeated by the older kids that I purchased the strategy guide.
I would take the book with me to places where I would normally bring my Gameboy to kill time. It also dawned on me why fighting fans would buy the console version. They used the console version as practice, so when playing the arcade version they knew the moves. That’s what happened to me. After reading the guide and practicing the combos, the older kids would be shocked when I defeated them. I also noticed after the success of Killer Instinct, other fighting games started to add combos as part of the gameplay, but the c-c-c-combo breaker is what made this fighting game stand out.
Seeing this game come in a black cartridge makes it stand out in my collection. The biggest thing for me was the Killer Cuts CD that came with the game. At the time, CDs were the new source for music and I didn’t own a CD player, so I used my parent’s boom box. If I want to revisit the 90s, I listen to this album and because of that, I jumped on board with buying music CDs, until the early 2000s when everything started to trend to digital.
Valuable info. Lucky me I discovered your web site unintentionally, and I’m
stunned why this accident didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit

of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with
you. Thanks!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but
instead of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read.
I will certainly be back.
Very good article! We will be linking to this particularly great post on our site.
Keep up the great writing.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to
go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
had to tell someone!
There is definately a great deal to know about this issue.
I love all the points you have made.
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance
from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where
to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you
