經典動漫《亂馬 1/2》自1980年代末期紅遍日本後，很快成為遊戲改編的熱門題材。由於作品本身結合格鬥、性別轉換、戀愛喜劇與大量角色互動，因此在1990年代的家用主機黃金期，陸續誕生多款風格各異的改編遊戲。其中最具代表性、評價也最穩定的作品，主要集中在PC Engine與超級任天堂兩大平台，並在後期嘗試邁向3D化。

在超級任天堂時代，《亂馬 1/2》迎來遊戲改編的高峰期。這一時期推出的三款作品，常被玩家合稱為「格鬥三部曲」，也被視為系列在遊戲性上最成熟的階段。整體來說，作品品質隨著推出時間逐步提升，無論是操作手感、角色平衡或是系統完整度，都能看出開發經驗的累積。

其中最受推崇的，莫過於《亂馬 1/2 超技亂舞篇》。這款作品幾乎公認是整個系列中完成度最高的格鬥遊戲。相較前作，戰鬥節奏明顯加快，連段設計更加流暢，角色之間的強弱差距也調整得相當合理。最令粉絲津津樂道的，則是可操作角色數量大幅增加，不僅囊括主要角色，連哈浦與雛子老師等較少見的人物也能實際操作，對原作迷而言極具吸引力。至今仍被不少玩家視為SFC平台上的隱藏名作。

稍早推出的《爆烈亂鬥篇》雖然在速度感與系統深度上略遜一籌，但因為曾推出英文版，是許多歐美玩家最早接觸到的《亂馬 1/2》遊戲。該作在角色動作與表情演出上極具漫畫風格，保留大量原作的搞笑元素，即使以今日眼光來看，仍然充滿趣味性與收藏價值。

此外，超級任天堂上還有風格截然不同的作品《朱貓團的秘寶》。這並非傳統格鬥遊戲，而是偏向RPG與冒險取向的作品，重視劇情推進與角色互動。遊戲中加入大量原創情節與對話，能以不同角度體驗亂馬世界，對於不追求高強度操作、而是想沉浸在角色關係與故事氛圍中的粉絲來說，是一次相當有趣的嘗試。

相較之下，PC Engine平台的《亂馬 1/2》作品更強調「動畫再現度」。1990年推出的CD-ROM² 版本，在當時可說是震撼登場。採用橫向捲軸動作玩法，但真正讓玩家驚艷的，是開場動畫與大量語音演出，幾乎由原動畫聲優全程配音。在那個語音仍屬奢侈要素的年代，這樣的呈現方式讓玩家第一次感受到「在主機上玩動畫」的衝擊，因此被譽為當年亂馬迷必玩的劃時代作品。

後續推出的《打倒、元祖無差別格鬥流！》則是PC Engine上的格鬥代表作。憑藉CD-ROM容量優勢，角色圖像細緻、演出華麗，整體表現水準在當年家用機中相當突出。雖然操作系統較為硬派，但對熟悉角色招式設定的粉絲來說，仍具有高度可玩性。

進入3D世代後，《亂馬 1/2》也曾在PlayStation平台推出《Battle Renaissance》，這是系列唯一的3D格鬥嘗試。最大特色在於導入「環境變化系統」，例如下雨時角色會因冷水而改變性別，忠實還原原作設定。然而受限於當時3D格鬥技術尚未成熟，操作手感與打擊感評價相對兩極，多半被視為概念有趣、但完成度略顯不足的實驗性作品。

After the classic anime Ranma ½ rose to nationwide popularity in Japan in the late 1980s, it quickly became a popular subject for video game adaptations. Thanks to its unique blend of martial arts, gender transformation, romantic comedy, and rich character interactions, numerous games with very different styles were released during the golden age of home consoles in the 1990s. Among them, the most representative and consistently well-received titles were mainly concentrated on the PC Engine and Super Nintendo platforms, with later entries gradually attempting a transition into 3D.

During the Super Nintendo era, Ranma ½ reached the peak of its game adaptations. Three titles released in this period are often collectively referred to by players as the “fighting trilogy” and are widely regarded as the series’ most mature phase in terms of gameplay design. Overall quality improved with each release, and clear progress can be seen in controls, character balance, and overall system completeness as the developers accumulated experience.

The most highly acclaimed of these is Ranma ½: Chougi Ranbu Hen. It is almost universally recognized as the most polished fighting game in the entire series. Compared to earlier entries, the combat pace is noticeably faster, combo systems are smoother, and the balance between characters is much better tuned. What excites fans the most is the greatly expanded roster: in addition to the main cast, lesser-seen characters such as Herb and Hinako-sensei are fully playable, making it especially appealing to fans of the original work. Even today, many players still regard it as a hidden gem on the Super Famicom.

The slightly earlier Ranma ½: Hard Battle is somewhat slower and less deep in terms of mechanics, but because it received an English release, it became the first Ranma ½ game encountered by many Western players. Its character animations and expressions strongly reflect the manga style, retaining much of the original’s comedic charm. Even by modern standards, it remains an entertaining title with solid collectible value.

The Super Nintendo also saw a very different kind of entry, Ranma ½: The Treasure of the Red Cat Gang. Rather than a traditional fighting game, it leans toward RPG and adventure elements, placing greater emphasis on story progression and character interaction. With a large amount of original plot and dialogue, the game allows players to experience the world of Ranma ½ from a different perspective. For fans who are less interested in intense action and more drawn to relationships and narrative atmosphere, it remains an especially enjoyable experiment.

By contrast, Ranma ½ titles on the PC Engine placed stronger emphasis on “anime-like presentation.” The CD-ROM² version released in 1990 was particularly groundbreaking at the time. While it used a side-scrolling action format, what truly impressed players was its animated opening and extensive voice acting, nearly all performed by the original anime cast. In an era when voice content was still considered a luxury, this presentation gave players the striking sensation of “playing an anime on a console,” earning it a reputation as a must-play, era-defining title for Ranma fans.

The later Defeat the Original Anything-Goes Martial Arts! became the PC Engine’s flagship Ranma ½ fighting game. Taking full advantage of the CD-ROM format, it featured detailed character graphics and flashy presentations that stood out among home console games of its time. Although the control system was relatively demanding, it offered high replay value for fans already familiar with each character’s techniques.

With the arrival of the 3D era, Ranma ½ also made a brief attempt on the PlayStation with Battle Renaissance, the series’ only 3D fighting game. Its most distinctive feature was the introduction of an “environmental change system,” in which conditions such as rain could trigger gender transformations when characters were splashed with cold water, faithfully recreating the original concept. However, due to the immaturity of 3D fighting technology at the time, opinions on its controls and combat feel were divided. As a result, it is generally remembered as an interesting but somewhat underdeveloped experimental title.
