   It plays well enough, like the Genesis version did...it's just that even   
   back then it was seriously lacking, and now with MK1 being on the Xbox   
   and PS2, it *really* looks bad.

   I hear that. I've been picking up a few Saturn imports now and then, and   
   I've been really surprised at how low the prices have been. It's just   
   incredible. Shit that was well over $50+ can now be had for around $5 to   
   $10. It's nice.

   I remember that one, I saw it on the PC and Mac a few times in the past,   
   but never bit. I'm not much one for puzzle games, and the fact that it   
   was FMV-based really didn't do a lot for me. Still, you're right, Tia...;)
