I find myself booting up the Power Rangers Movie game every few years. The iconic music with the Genesis twang still hits hard.

🙏 RIP to actress Thuy Trang who played Trini the yellow ranger in MMPR. I had a crush on her and Kimberly growing up back then.

Forget those ratings, the game was insanely fun as a kid.

I played that fighting game on the Genesis so much back in the day. I was 4 or 5 years old when I first played it. I was obsessed with the Power Rangers at the time so just playing as those characters was good enough for me.

One thing I loved about that Power Rangers Movie game was all the digitized chiptune versions of the shows music.

"I was too old to like Power Rangers" LOL I was a teen and I still loved it!

I think Primal Rage was best on Game Gear. It's always interesting to discover games you prefer on older portable systems when you consider how compromised everyone was used to the portable versions of games being back then.

I love MMPR on the Sega Genesis and I love MMPR The Movie on the Sega Genesis. It's one of the best movie licence games of all time. I love playing as The Green Ranger and the Dragonzord.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the Sega Genesis is one of my favourites beat em' ups of all time.

I owned the Game Gear games as a kid and absolutely loved them. I would play them as well as Jurassic Park and wonder why the Genesis and SNES versions sucked so bad in comparison. Add in the awesomeness that was Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Chaos, Vampire Master of Darkness, Crystal Warriors and Shining Force The Sword of Hajya and I was a die hard Game Gear fan. I still think the Game Gear was vastly underrated as a handheld console.

I never had trouble with the cave stage in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers the Movie for Genesis. I always found the exit pretty intuitive. 😶 But I'm known for going everywhere in a level and interacting with everything, if I can manage.

The lack of enemy variety is actually accurate to the show though 🤣

Glad to see the GG Power Rangers games get some love. Criminally underrated. The original got me through a boring road trip as a kid, and the time flew.

The Game Gear Power Rangers games are still my favorite Game Gear of all time and my favorite power rangers game so underrated !!!

I loved the Sega CD version. If you put "ABBACABBA" at the title screen from the controller, you can sit back and watch the whole game play out as one long episode. To me, at 14 years old, who didn't own a then expensive DVD player or anything when I got this years later new at a big discount, this was AMAZING.

Sega one step ahead in pushing too fast with the hardware and two steps back with the software development.

“Sims” developed a handful of great games for the Game Gear and Master System

The Genesis MMPR fighting game actually has a few interesting bits, like a deflection move that can deflect projectiles back at your opponent. You can also play as the Evil Green Ranger , who is different from the standard Green Ranger (he has the evil sword and the moves that go with it) and can also fight against the giant enemies like the zords as a gigantic form of himself (a throwback to the TV series where the evil green ranger did just that). There's a way to unlock him in the versus mode, I can't quite remember how though. The super moves are also interesting, but the most broken is the Dragonzord's, it's basically an infinite combo, get just one hit in with that and the enemy is basically helpless, you can combo it to death simply by mashing buttons. The other super moves are powerful but not as broken. All of them can, when not blocked and used correctly, reduce the opposing life bar by half instantly.

I am a huge Power Rangers fan and I still play the Game Gear games up to this very day! I love the presentation on those games! I have play through s of those and other Power Rangers games in my channel. Another great video SLX. It really took me way back as a Power Rangers and Sega fan.

I had the first Game Gear release; definitely best game depicting the first season with the OG Megazord and Green Ranger.

The Sega CD version is one of those games that I'll be browsing around on my Launch Box or Sega Genesis Mini, and I'll end up playing Power Rangers of all games for half hour to almost an hour before realizing I just wasted way too much time in it. The OG power rangers never get old.

Ah memories,boy I miss the 90s

As a kid me and my friends used to LOVE playing the power rangers genesis game. One of the zords weren’t allowed to be picked by us, cuz spamming the a button made him super cheap😂👍

After playing the Genesis Power Rangers game, we bought the Sega CD version. That was a mistake.

The first time I played the first Genesis one I happened to stumble into Zack's spin attack and pretty much beat the whole game from there in one shot. You can just hammer the b-button and hold forward to automatically win the on-foot stages.

I was not a fan of Power Ranger as a kid. But I really loved the Game Gear game back in the day. I grabbed it off of Ebay and it still holds up pretty well today. IMO a hidden gem on the Game Gear.

The game gear games havealways been underrated gems. Also note, the two movie games actually have music from the official power rangers soundtrack. I had the tape for it as a kid.

I have fond memories of playing the Power Rangers beat 'em up on a Megadrive emulator with my oldest son back when we were both a lot younger. I will NEVER forget that day as it was the first time he legit beat me at a game without me going easy on him. He routinely hands me my arse when we go head-to-head these days, but back then, it was a rarity. Thanks for making me remember nicer times. Appreciated. 🙂👍

I remember these games being impossible and could never beat them. At parties we would take turns seeing how far we could get before game over and none of us could never get to the last stage.

The songs in Power Rangers The Movie for the Genesis are an absolute eargasm and a perfect example of what the Genesis could produce

Never would have known the Game Gear versions were better. I'll check em out when the market crashes. Hopefully. Morphenomenal video!!!

1:32 this game is terrible, but I have really fond memories of it I remember my sister, me, my dad and my mom playing it an entire afternoon tournament style we were a dysfunctional family, but that day we were having a lot of fun with some power rangers game

I just gotta give you a shout out SLX, I got a copy of PR: TM at some thrift shop years ago got to that exact spot in the cave and really did think I got a defective game and just gave up. Of course it was just a badly designed game. I should probably finish it now and send it on its way.

Power rangers started when I was in kindergarten omg it was epic Never had a great game back then. Some decent ones but nothing better than slightly above average

I wasn't into Power Rangers as a kid, but many of my friends were, so I ended up playing a whole lot of MMPR games anyway xD I had actually forgotten that I'd even played the original Game Gear title, but seeing it in this video brought back a latent memory

Always loved the game gear games, especially since they offered more character choices

6:22 Holy smokes! AVGN wasn't kidding when he said there was "a turtle with a traffic light on its head"!

Glad to see the GG versions get such high regard, I played the heck out of both when I was younger and going back I still really like them. Seriously probably some of my favorites on the GG as a whole.

Of all the games I owned as a kid, I wasn't expecting the 1st GG version of Power Rangers to be mentioned today, it's the most 90s thing I can imagine. I was pleased to see it get a fair shake here. Making it a 1-on-1 helped with the GG's limited sprite capabilities, and the small viewport means they come out a good size. Sure there's a fair bit of sprite flicker but on the GG's smeary screen that's less of a sin than the footage here would make out. I don't know if the MD version had this, but the GG version's VS Mode had logic of a sort, no mirror matches, and no 'big only' (e.g. Zords) versus 'small only' (e.g. Rangers). There was an unlockable 'Dream Mode' cheat that waived this though.

I love the Sega CD. I just do. I started playing it in 2020 and I have learned patience

Best thing on the GG Power Rangers movie game is also its secret giant vs mode where you can play rangers vs zords. Theres even more moves if do a+b button combinations! Good to see the gg games getting recognized

3:10 Goldar's stage music is some of the best on the Genesis. I'll gladly die on that hill.

Those game gear games are astounding.

My best game when I was young... my Game Gear still works after thousands of hours with it😏

Both Game Gear games are really good and in the top 5 of the best fighting games of the console. Great use of the GG color palette as well. And characters have a lot of moves, as you can combine 1+2 with directions, and have another special attack with 1+2. The Movie also adds a super attack with a meter. Great stuff. There is also VR Troopers to check, I think it is the same license.

Power Rangers hit when I was in Kindergarten. I had the hots for the Pink Ranger, luckily telling me at an early age what my sexual preference was. While I liked Power Rangers I am kind of glad I forgot all about them for Spider-Man. Still, Pink Ranger

As I kid I loved the console versions of these games. I remember renting the Genesis version one day and playing it while eating grilled cheese. When I finished the game and the ending cutscene showed the Ultra Megazord destroying Rita's Palace I remember my mom saying "the game should let you do that".

The Megadrive/Genesis at first wasn't going to include the Rangers and would focus in the boss battles so it had more enemy characters, however the changed their minds some months before the release and eliminated some monster characters to include the Rangers. Because they included in a very short amount of time, all the Rangers have the same sprite with the same basic moves, with their only diferences being the colors, the voices and the special attacks. The Game Gear games are among the best fighting games ever released in 8 bit consoles, only the Takara conversions from Neo Geo can compete with them, something I loved about them was that each Ranger had his/her own sprite with their own basic moves and how easy it was to play, all special attacks were done with a quarter and one or both buttons. There was also a special VS mode that you unlocked when you beat the game that allowed you to fight without limitations, so you could see the Rangers fighting the Zords. It also had 16 characters, a lot for that time, specially for a 8 bit game.

I was already in high school when PR was a thing, so I was never into it then. I have come to appreciate it a bit s an adult though. I even think Power for the Grid is a good, modern game.

I think I was starting high school at the time?! but still I thought the idea was neat, (as it was a couple years after getting into anime to begin with) and yeah the giant combining zords definitely felt like what voltron did with the lions (and vehicles) even though as I understand it the whole sentai thing predates voltron by many years?!) I forget if I played any of the console games outside of emulation but there were a couple fun ones. might have to revisit some of these on an emulator. I will say I dig the GG versions of the music its actually kinda cool.

I had a huge childhood crush on the orginal Yellow Ranger, i was heartbtoken when I heard the actress died in a car crash :(

Aww Dude! I just found out that all these games are on my Anbernic RG351V handheld! And you're absolutely right, the Game Gear version is definitely more fun to play. Better graphics don't always mean a better game!

That warcraft review, I wasn't expecting that in a Sega Lord X video. 😎

I remember Power Rangers the Movie on the Genesis being everything I always wanted in a Power Rangers game back in the day. Had lots of fun with it. Never played any of the other games though, only the SNES ones.

I still play the MMPR Movie game on Genesis a lot. Enemy variety never really bothered me with this one since the show/movie never had any variety in its grunt enemies either 😅

Well, I have to disagree with you on MMPR: The movie on Genesis. I LOVE that game! Played it many, many, many times! One of the best beat 'em up of its era along with TMNT: The Hyperstone heist and Street of rage III. Yes, the foot soldiers are the same in a level, but it's normal, it follow the storyline of that level (Putties in the "remember when" levels and Ooze monsters in the "now" level). Also, compared to MMPR: The movie on SNES, it stick closer to the story of the movie. The Game Gears games seems nice, but maybe not enough to have been ported to Genesis. You're also right about MMPR on Genesis, it's slow and clunky, but still fun to play.

i was in that target age group when mmpr came out. it wasnt until way later that i learned of the origins of the series. Watching the first episode of mmpr side by side with its japanese counter is pretty funny.

As an excited MMPR fan who was a kid back when these came out... let me assure you, we could tell a good game from a bad one. I played the (original) Game Gear one first, and it quickly became my favorite game I owned on the console. When I rented the Genesis version a bit later, I got bored with it after about 5 minutes and decided I had wasted my money for that weekend. To this day, I'd still hold up the Game Gear version as one of the very best and funnest games on the system. It's so cinematic, intense, and really highlights the dramatic moments that made the show feel so cool back then.

Growing up I caught reruns of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on Saturday mornings. I like many other 90's/late 90's kids loved Power Rangers. I think the toys Bandai made were the coolest (at that time)! Now as for the video games, I don't remember playing any as a kid, but now being a 23 y/o video game collector I do own Power Rangers on Sega Genesis. The very first Power Rangers game you mentioned in the video. Like you said, it's an ok fighting game at best. Not great, but not horrible either. I didn't know the Power Rangers Movie game was a side scrolling beat 'em up! I also didn't know that the Game Gear ports of both games are that good. Now that I know this, I'll be on the look out for both Game Gears games, and the SNES version of Power Rangers the Movie the game. Thanks for schooling me, and I loved the video!

I'm 34 I definitely remember 1 or 2 games back then

There was a Kamen Rider game that played exactly like the Power Rangers Sega CD game, The game was based off Kamen Rider ZO and was the first Kamen Rider released in America

As a hardcore fan I find the movie game to be excellent. Unlike the snes version it actually is on par with the movie. and it does give fans a bonus with the flashback to season 2. The only thing that would have made it better would be if they had season 1 in it too.

My friend had the MMPR: The Movie game for Genesis and we had no idea what to do on that cave stage. I'm a little upset you didn't spoil how to beat it because now I'm curious lol

I had both power rangers games on game gear as a kid and this made me happy to watch I played the hell out of these games

8:16 good point but its not that in the original series didnt happen too as has it was a lots of puddies and then some boss in the end. So i dont agree much as a negative that part. Great video

I had no idea the Game Gear versions existed, I'd have been soooo happy to have that as a kid. I had a Game Gear and had the Genesis fighting game T_T

The unique thing about the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Sega Genesis game is that it plays very true to the show. What does that mean? It means even though in versus mode there are 12 selectable characters not all characters could be pick against one another. The rule of the show apply therefore if you pick any one of the six ranger, your opponent can't pick any one of the zord (Cyclopsis included). The same apply if you pick one of the zord then your opponent can't pick any of the ranger that is unless it's the Evil Green Ranger which he could fight both the rangers and the zords (just like the show). Also there's no mirror match so both players can't pick the same ranger, monster or zord, even the normal Green Ranger can't fight against the Evil Green Ranger. The only disappointment I had with that game though is that if any one pick one of the ranger then you always get to play in the Rangers stage which is boring as there's only one, you will only get to play in the other five stages if both players choose the monster, the zords, or the Evil Green Ranger.

Great video, watching MMPR are literally some of the earliest memories I have, dating back to me being a toddler. I had all the toys at that time. While I haven't watched the series at all since the end of the 90s, I still have great nostalgia for it. For fans of the series, I'd recommend picking up Power Ranges: Battle for the Grid on current gen consoles. I bought it last Black Friday and am having a blast with it, probably the best rangers game to ever come out.

Ground Texas Zero was a lot of fun to play. These FMV games are light hearted geek fun. I know some are really bad but some of them are fun.

Dude your channel is medicine at the moment.. Thanks.

Call back to Voltron? I thought most people were aware that Power Rangers is an adaptation of Super Sentai. Sentai has been around since 1975.

Best intro riffs of all time: #1 X-Men #2 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 🎵

I've only ever been able to get into the movie tie in game. Something I'll boot up now and then (a couple of times a year) and will consider a successful run if I don't lose a life on hard difficulty. It still has my favourite rendition of the Power Rangers theme in a video game. Never tried the Game Gear version though, so may have to look into it.

Power rangers on game gear was awesome 👍 I found a cool trick on it

I enjoy all the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers games on the Sega platforms and still play them to this day.😎👍

I am of a similar age, and Power Rangers was one I was a bit too old to really care about. One thing said during the first game here stuck with me, though, and that's that its simplicity makes it a good game to play with the kids. I have always had a similar mindset that simplicity=accessibility, which means more fun for young kids. What has started me re-thinking that idea is watching what is happening with my sons. My 7 year old loves games, and is careful enough that I turn him loose with one of our Switch consoles, and that's where things got interesting. When he was 5 and first had access to playing Switch on his own, I assumed he'd just be playing the Mario games I set him up with. However, when I'd go check on him, I'd sit with him and look at what he's playing, and nearly every time, he'd turned off Mario and gone into the SNES games. Here he was, 5 years old, and I see he's about 3 stages in on Demons's Crest. He looked at me and asked how to get past the boss in that area. He was doing all of the hovering, switching forms, etc. on his own. Left to his own devices, he chose Demon's Crest, not a kiddie game. Today, he's 7. He and my 3 year old recently started new characters on Dragon's Crown, and we've been playing through it together. He does his own skill upgrades, and my 3 year old, while he needs help with menus, makes real contributions, like yesterday after the pinewood derby when we beat the Wraith, he guarded the light source statues while my 7 year old and I took down the Wraith. Later on, we went downstairs to the basement to play since one of my friends was coming to visit (and my oldest usually plays a game with him before bed when one of my friends visits), and my son asks if he can play Gunstar Heroes, which he's apparently been working his way through on Switch, and wanted to compare to the Genesis original. He even requested the Japanese version. This isn't bragging; it's just me gettng hit with the realization that given the choice, kids often like better and even more complex games than we expect. They learn so fast it's surprising. If it hadn't been for Switch Online SNES games, I'd have never given him credit for being able to have taste in games on his own at a young age. Maybe something to consider for folks wondering how to introduce their kids to games.

As a kid in the late 90s, received a cousins hand me down GG with Sonic 1 and MMPR Movie. Made me a handheld gamer for life

The Game Gear games are probably the best 8-bit fighters across platforms. Every other arcade port always feels limited. With a little more variety in how each character controls, they'd be perfect.

Love your channel my man. I love hearing about Genesis or master system games I've never played or heard about. The Saturn and Sega CD games/episodes are the only ones that are my least favorite only because I've never owned or played either but want to but I'd have to win the lottery in order to be able to afford the games. I don't own a computer and don't know anything about emulation so that's not an option. But that's not saying those episodes were bad, it just makes me wish I could afford to play those games and systems. That's all. But I love how you're so knowledgeable about all of this! It's great man! Keep up the good work! 🤘👍👍

😱 Power Rangers aren't 30 years old.. YOURE 30 YEARS OLD!!! :P Time, she sure does fly by.

I really enjoyed the original 1v1 fighter as a kid. Yeah, it certainly wasn't balanced well, and that was clear even then, but I had fun with it. More importantly, my dad would actually watch and sometimes even play, which he didn't ever really do otherwise, with me, so I deeply treasure those moments.

Power Ranger games were usually of much higher quality than the average licensed game. The idea really translated well to video games, and it wasn't until the N64 era where the games fell off of a cliff. Luckily by then I was over the series anyway. Actually, the new Power Rangers fighting game is awesome, oddly.

Fun fact on the Pal cover of the first game it's say's it's time for morphine in Dutch.

I loved the power rangers as a kid, and even then I thought the games were all crap.

I remember playing the 2 Mega Drive releases as my friend and I were big fans of the series. This not only glossed over the quality issues, but compared against the SNES release I owned they were miles better. I remember Total magazine in the UK giving the SNES game a 16% and the GB release a 5%!

A few years back I was able to pick up a russian copy of the Bootleg fighting edition. Complete with a clamshell too (it's a tiny clamshell for some reason)

If i may the genesis Power Ranger was one of the MAIN reason i thought the Genesis was the inferior 16 bit version. I know some games were interesting and the Sonic games being good. But i never gave a chance to games like Street of Rage 2 because of games like Power Rangers for the Gen... I played the SoR2 like in 2015 for god sake and it was something else . :)

Zyuranger on the Famicom is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine 😂

"Size is not always a determiner of quality" I keep telling the ladies that... THANKS LORDIE!

Lol I knew to hit the rocks in the background on the cave level. Come on Sega Lord X. Also the SNES MMPR game was far superior.

I love the first Power Rangers game SNES and Ioved Mighty Morphin Power Ranges when I was a kid in 1993 was 8 years old

Mel, you explained what the CRI was in your last video. Could you explain us the different Sega Teams? Put names and faces behind games. Sega AM1 (Overworks, Wow) that's the Shinobi Team, right ? Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Columns, Skies of Arcadia. Correct ? Sega AM2, that's Yu Suzuki. Out-Run, Hang-On, Space Harrier, After Burner, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, Ferrari F355, Outtrigger. Next stop, there's the Sonic Team led by Yuji Naka, Phantasy Star, Ghouls'N Ghosts, Sonic, Chuchu Rocket, JetSet Radio. Then we skip 3, 4, 5, 6 and we get to Sega AM7 aka UGA with Muzugushi for Sega Rallye and Rez.

A burst of nostalgia...i loved the original genesis fighting game and the beat em up based on the movie

I remember my brother bringing home the Sega CD version of the Power Rangers, boy was I mad at him. Lol I had the Game Gear version, loved it.

The fighting game was actually G Gundam in Japan. Funny because it was years before it came to the US on Toonami. 😂

WOW this was on in my early high school days.... good memories bro🤟great video very informative content Mr X 🤟🔥🤟

I remember to have played both games on the genesis, yes they were simplistic and yet i had a ton of fun with them with my brother. As for power ranger the movie, in the cave stage after 3 gameover we tried to punch the rocks in the background because it was obvious that if there's an exit, it has to ba there. And yes the exit was there and we tried to break some rocks earlier in the stage and we had the surprise to find one leading to a fight against Lord Z (albeit simplistic).

MMPR on Genesis had one major advantage over the SNES game: the Green Ranger. It was the only home console version that featured him, and considering how long both took to come out it was so bizarre that he was missing.

I got the Genesis version as a kid after playing the SNES version at a friends. I was very disappointed obviously because it is nothing like the SNES version. I did grow to like the game and beat it with every character. You played what you had remember

I'm a bit younger than you, but I was just old enough to enjoy Voltron when it was current, so Power Rangers similarly didn't appeal to me as well. But I did like the robot concept. I did watch the show on occasion when nothing else was on, but I always preferred animation for that sort of thing. While the property didn't interest me much, it makes for an interesting video. There's some good sprite work in spots. Natsume's SNES fighting game had some nice sprites. And as for the Game Gear, Sims being involved was at least a reason for hope. They weren't the best, but they were reasonably good and came up with some good game designs. Knowing they were responsible for the Game Gear games, I expected they'd fare better. Fun to watch and hear your thoughts.
