By the way, who's seen the Genesis version of that game? They changed all the colors and tried to pretty it up but it looks hideous. >_<
Yeah, I still regard the Master System version as visually superior. The Sega-CD one has good music and mildly interesting FMVs, but abominably cartoony voice-acting.

The only 'problem' with the controls, I think, is that you need to plan your moves slightly in advance - just like in real life.
