Episode Notes:
1. Captured on the Mega SG(Genesis & Game Gear). Sega CD version captured on Kega Fusion(Mega SG playback was skipping).
2. The original yellow ranger, Thuy Trang, died in 2001 from a car accident. She was just 27 years of age.
3. Sega had numerous Japanese releases on the Pico that had Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger content. This was the show Power Rangers was based on.
4. Despite more games on the Playstation, N64, and PC, no Power Rangers games appeared on the Saturn or the Dreamcast.
5. I always kinda wished that someone would hack Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie with more enemies. That game was close to something decent. It just needed a little more content.
6. All of these games are fairly cheap. There are some box variants of the first that can be higher, but most are sub $30.
7. Shockingly, nobody brought the GG releases to the Master System. I thought for sure tec Toy would have done it.
8. I have long wanted a good Voltron video game. Made by a Capcom or a Konami. Made in the mold of something like Symphony of the Night. You start out weak and must rescue your friends. Then on to finding the keys to lions. Then you must discover the secret of Voltron to finish up the game.

@chaospoet 2 года назад

I hated it at first until a friend and I were watching an episode out of boredom and caught the one with the rapping pumpkin monster and it finally clicked with us what kind of a show it was. We were taking it seriously instead of a comedy/action show. After that we got way more enjoyment out of it and would have debates about how rich Angel Grove must be to repair their city and remove debris every week after giant monster battles and what the off screen casualty rate must be? You know there had to have been at least one janitor in one of those buildings running like Hell down the stairs to get out before MegaZord was body slammed right through it.

What do you want a pat on the back?

@DTX0217 2 года назад

@@Windavinci Depends on who's offering. 😏 No, I'm just saying I don't think it was as hidden as SLX thought it was; I think he was experiencing tunnel vision because he was getting bored and just trying to slog through to the end of the level w/o really embracing the level. Tbf, the game begins to feel a little too repetitive by that point (a level or two earlier actually, for me at least), so it's understandable to ‘tune out’ the game a bit. Personally, that monotony typically makes me appreciate every little detail more intently, but I do agree the game sorely lacks in enemy variety and gameplay mix-up.

Facts! I occasionally play it every once in a while with old and new friends. Till this day my friends and I have only used/played the original 6 rangers. Well maybe Aisha sometimes, but never Adam and Rocky.

@DeludedOne 2 года назад

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.

@VOAN 2 года назад

Though it's an interesting game, it just fall flat in that it didn't polish it enough to be fun or playable. The sprites are too tiny, moves are limited, you could only punch and kick, the third button didn't get use for anything and you didn't even get to fight the Evil Green Ranger in zord size in Story Mode despite him being in the game. Also even though Scorpina appear in most of the cutscene, she was not a playable character in the game. The game also had no corners in those stages so backtracking had no limit which makes the game feel unstable at times.

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.

@dustman820 2 года назад

Best way to "play" that game really as there is no different scenes if you mess up hitting the button like other FMV games.

@benbehzadpour1177 2 года назад

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.

Cyclopsis wasn't cheap he had 3 moves 1)chest rockets 2) electric fist and 3) an air thunderbolt that was easy to see through because you literally had to go down forward and up plus punch to do the move. Just block it and use dragon zords drill tail or megazords power sword attack to counter it.

@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 2 года назад

It baffles me Sega didn't port them to the Sega Master System for the UK and Europe. My brothers would have played these games for hours if that's the case, but then again these were released so late that it probably wouldn't have been profitable.

@WeskerSega 4 месяца назад

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 That's the reason. The first MMPR game is a late 1994 release. There still were a handful of late 1994/early 1995 releases for the Master System in Europe, but Sega (and some surviving third parties like Infogrames or Virgin) aimed to another demographics with releases like Astérix and the Great Rescue, Chese Cat-astrophe starring Speedy Gonzalez, Daffy Duck in Hollywood, Sonic Spinball, The Lion King and The Smurfs. Maybe Sega considered a possible conversion of MMPR a little too American centered for bothering for a release of that that would have mostly served Europe (and Brazil). MMPR The Movie is out of the question because that's a late 1995 release. From that point on, it was TecToy which could have gotten that for Brazilian release, but apparently it didn't consider it.

@wraithcadmus 2 года назад

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.

@CyprusBeyblade Год назад

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.

@gokux75 2 года назад

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.

@Hektols 2 года назад

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.

@goranisacson2502 2 года назад

Do you have a source for the claim of the game not having the Rangers?

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!

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.

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.

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)

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

I gotta check out the Game Gear games sometime. Too bad my GG always have that sound capacitor issue and seeing through that screen can be a problem. I wish it can be consolized.

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

@FZuloaga 2 года назад

MMPR The Movie takes the music from the OST "Power Rangers A Rock Adventure", it's amazing how they made the renditions of the original tracks. BTW the lack of variety in enemies seems to follow the show: fight putty patrollers or Ivan Ooze's army and then the big monsters. (The game also goes back and forth with the story mixing the tv show with the movie) They could have used the Tenga Warriors and mix 'em with the Ooze monsters but it seems that the cartridge size or the budget made an impact on the final game. The cave level it's a maze, if you make it properly you'll fight Lord Zedd.

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.

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.

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

@TheMovieUniverse Год назад

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.

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

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.

@JohnDoe-wq5eu 2 года назад

Yeah the N64 era really is one of the worst ever as far as the games go. And for that matter PlayStation as well. I think the only console that may have gotten some decent games were Gameboy. And of course that was game boy.

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

@Oscar20ism Год назад

I played the mighty morphin power rangers the movie on sega genesis alot when I was a kid and I absolutely love it! Maybe I'll get the sega game gear and play those versions because I didn't had that back then.

@punchabunchabuttons 2 года назад

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 . :)

@JonThysell 2 года назад

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.

@crystalwater505 2 года назад

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.

@evilmandrake 2 года назад

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.

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.

@ShinobiWan1 2 года назад

I was scanning the comments for this haha I was definitely shocked when I found out that Super Sentai preceded Voltron.

@SegaLordX 2 года назад

Yeah, but you are talking about information that wasn't readily available until long after(outside of Japan). At that time in 1993, it most certainly seemed Voltron was the first by many, many years.

@Timewarp84 2 года назад

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

@FX103 2 года назад

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%!

@yorae3153 2 года назад

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).
