   I would have, especially based on the glowing reviews.  Just for   
   clarity, I was wondering when the SNES game, SFII Turbo, was released in   
   regard to SCE on the Genesis.  I am fairly confident that the Japanese   
   release date of Champion Edition for the PC-Engine was June '93.  From   
   there, I think the Genesis game came out in August, or it was available   
   for rent in August, and the SNES game came out sometime later that fall   
   in the US.  Without somebody else recalling the same though, we're stuck   
   with online sources citing the Japanese release of the SNES game in   
   July, and the US release of the Genesis game in, basically, October.
