I have to support STP in this issue (did I ever disagree
with him ? :)). Look & Sound has nothing to do with gameplay.
They're 2, well actually, three different issues. I played
both the snes & genesis versions, and I only keep the Genesis
version because it has better gameplay, for example, the timing
of the moves are closer to the arcade. For me, it is also easier
to perform a move on the Genesis pad than the Snes pad. The ending
sequence for Genesis MK is closer to the arcade ending. 

BTW, the game only costed me $50. 
Perhaps the segacd version will put in all the sounds and missing
frames, and it will probably be cheaper ($41 according to the
current quote from Marty). Let's wait and see.
