I remember it being difficult too, I don't think I got far with the snes version. I'm gonna pass on this one, not only because of LRG, but no genesis version. I would have broken down for the Genesis version without hesitation. My wallet has set the bar high for this one and I can't get bamboozled into buying every flashy thing that comes my way.
Although it does look very nice. I don't know how I feel about LRG, I'm sure some people collect everything they release and maybe its become a hoarding problem for som. Also a lot of these limited games aren't that limited. A lot of people buy it for the sake of reselling later on, which I get, but I'm not going to get rich off of it. You gotta hold onto these things for 10s of years and who knows how much LRG are holding merchandise for themselves.
