stopped playing MK 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
When I first saw the cartridge for this game as a kid, I couldn't believe this could possibly be the first MK game. I had known and played 2, 3 and 3U, but MK 1 seemed like an almost legendary mythological artifact. So in my disbelief I asked the seller which entry in the series this was, and she apathetically replied "8th". I'm not sure whether she didn't know or didn't care, perhaps both. So I asked my mom to buy it for me and went home happily anticipating what new features MK 8 has compared to 3U.

Anyway, I'm glad they're remaking this game now, because it was pretty outdated even when I first played it, let alone now. Pretty unbalanced and clunky, with some annoying button-mashing mini-games, but its general presentation and lore are still impressive, and the basic gameplay formula still creates an engaging experience, despite quite a minuscule amount of content. Still, it doesn't really give you anything that the following entries don't.
