Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
The definitive version of Mortal Kombat 3 — the one with all the ninjas back in it. Owner's memory is the Sega Genesis port: the run button, the fatalities, and everybody on the roster.
Neo Geo
SNK's answer to a dream: the arcade in your home. The Neo Geo's home console ran hardware identical to its arcade cabinets, so you got arcade-perfect games with zero compromises — for $649.99, plus cartridges that cost upward of $200. The rich kid down the street had one. You didn't.
