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. -- - Stephen Lee Silicon Graphics Inc. 2011 N. Shoreline Blvd., - P.O.
