We've never owned the original MK game but my brother had it loaned to him a couple of times. At the time I had no idea I was looking at a censored game. Then he got MK3 and I saw MK in its full splendor. But we were pissed it didn't have Scorpion, so Cyrax became our favourite character for being yellow like him. Fortunately UMK3 fixed that... but we had that for the Saturn with long loading times
