There was also a version made for the UsefulNotes/GameGear, developed by Creator/SIMSCoLtd, which largely kept the same gameplay roulette, but included an expanded roster and some filler bits where you fight Putty Patrollers in a BeatEmUp-style stage beforehand. Despite being on poorer hardware, most people tend to favor this version of the game instead of its 16-bit cousin.

A third game under the same name was released for the UsefulNotes/SegaCD, but unlike the other two games, this one was a QuickTimeEvent game with FullMotionVideo versions of select episodes from the show. Occasionally, button prompts would appear, and the player would have to hit the right button in order to get a higher score. Unlike other FMV games, the story would not change at all regardless of whether the player hit the prompt correctly or not.

Released in 1994, ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' is a FightingGame based on Season 1 of [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the titular show]]. Developed by Creator/{{Banpresto}} and published by Creator/{{Sega}}, the game features a rather unique structure for its Story Mode. First, you select one of the Rangers and fight one of Rita's monsters. Unlike more traditional fighting games, this is a single round duel, where losing forces you into a game over. If you defeat the monster, Rita makes it grow, which leads into Round 2. Summoning either the Megazord or the Dragonzord, you then fight the giant monster. Continue the pattern for five stages and you win.

There was also a version made for the UsefulNotes/GameGear, developed by Creator/SIMSCoLtd, which largely kept the same gameplay roulette, but included an expanded roster and some filler bits where you fight Putty Patrollers in a BeatEmUp-style stage beforehand. Despite being on poorer hardware, most people tend to favor this version of the game instead of its 16-bit cousin.
