   I don't much care for the original SMS controllers...the pad just seems   
   off. I've never had an issue with one, but I much prefer the Genesis   
   controller to it.

   I doubt that, just simply because the DC SMS emulator is based off a PC   
   SMS emulator. ;)  Still, I know what you're saying, the DC SMS emulators   
   I had tried were *really* solid.

   Like Rob mentions, it's gone down quite a bit due to all the   
   re-releasing of the game. You can usually get a complete copy for around   
   $40 nowadays. Not great...but for that game, I'd pay it(shit, the first   
   time I owned it, I paid $70, so $40 is a steal imo). ;)
