Episode Notes:

1. Capturing this was really difficult. I needed to appear the play as I did when I first discovered the game. Undoing decades of practice meant actually playing to lose, which is harder than it sounds.

2. Arcade version is captured from MAME. Super Nintendo version captured from SNES Classic.

3. I haven't spoken to the 1st Nathan in this video for 20 years. The second Nathan is actually a long term friend I speak to daily.

4. The wording of this video was done for entertainment purposes. I don't speak like this in my daily life.

5. The Food Lion grocery store we found Street Fighter II also was the place I first saw Mortal Kombat. They kept a small spot in the front of the store for arcade games for years.

6. The actual time span of this video was about a year. Basically the fall of 1991 to the summer of 1992. The humiliation was on more than a few occasions. Nathan beat me at Street Fighter II every time we played it. I shortened the details to fit the video. It was much worse than it sounded here.
