would've been better to see it on the Genesis.

There was no Mortal Kombat on NES, that I can remember at least.

That's true. I wasn't even paying attention to which game they were playing above. Super Nin started MK.

Technically Mortal Kombat started as an arcade machine and was ported to SNES and Genesis. I should know, I made a MAME and played MK on it nonstop :-P

What did you use for your MAME box? I have to get on Ebay and find myself a dirt cheap Xbox for mine.

I used an arcade cabinet and took an old PC and bolted it inside. I suppose you could use an xbox but a PC would probably be easier and better. It doesn't have to be an expensive computer, something you pick up for $50 off craigslist would be more than enough to run MAME.

The monitor was the original arcade cabinet monitor screen, which looked amazing for arcade emulation since it was a bit blurry so looked more real. I bought all the buttons and joysticks online somewhere. I used and I-PAC to connect the buttons/joysticks to the computer, I highly suggest it.

As for where to buy an arcade cabinet, I actually bought it off a friend so I don't really know. But I suspect craigslist would be the place to start.

That, is awesome and I am jealous. I'm going to use an original xbox, just because the controller maps to the controls VERY well if not perfectly for almost all the games on the ROMs I have. And then you can also make an option to have the green power ring to rotate colors lol.

Panel 11 should be that kid saying "Hey uncle Josh, where do you put the coal on that thing?" with a trollface.
