Sailor Moon (or Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) is a beat 'em up video game developed by Angel in 1993, and ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was localized in Europe exclusively in French in 1994. A version for the Sega Mega Drive (known as the Genesis in North America) was developed and published by Ma-Ba, although certain elements were recycled from the Super NES version.
The game is set in the first series of Sailor Moon, and the players take control of one or two of the five heroines. Each Sailor Soldier has some sequences of blows, three aerial attacks (neutral, moving forward/backward, downward) and a special charge-up projectile.
The enemies are the monsters of the Dark Kingdom that appeared in the anime, but if more than one of the same kind appears at once, the others use palette swaps.
The Mega Drive version features most of the stages from the Super NES version but a few were removed and replaced. Some of the boss battles are different as well, and a new hidden final boss, Queen Metallia is featured when playing on Hard Mode. The Mega Drive counterpart does not contain any of the music from the Super NES game, with the exception of the main theme song at the title screen. Bosses also has their own song rather than a generic theme for all of them. The game has different endings for each playable character.

Sailor Moon R is the sequel to the first Sailor Moon and introduced a new playable character, Chibiusa. The sprites from the previous game were redesigned with more detail and more animation frames for this game and the later games.
Like the Mega Drive version of the previous game, the bosses have their own theme music. By playing the game on hard mode, there is a minor change to the ending that involves Sailor Pluto. Monsters in this game were all droids. Like the previous game, there are several different shades of them. One of the other differences from the first game is the special attack that destroys all on-screen enemies.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story is an RPG. In battle, compatible Sailor Soldiers (2 or 3) can use 'Link Techniques', which are unique team up attacks with various effects, be they offensive, healing, or defensive.
EP (energy points) regenerate after each battle. The storyline of the RPG is fairly linear. All ten members of the Sailor Soldiers are playable. Only five members of the team can be in the player's party at one time. For a good part of the game, the storyline dictates which Soldiers are playable, however further into the game the player may choose which Soldiers are in the party (though certain Soldiers are still required to be in the party at certain points).
The game is set between the third and fourth story arcs and combines original elements with elements from both the anime and manga.[7] Throughout the game, the player can also collect puzzle pieces which make an image of the Soldiers and Tuxedo Mask. If the puzzle is completed, there is a reward at the end.
In Another Story, a sorceress named Apsu arrives from the 30th century. She has formed a group of girls from Crystal Tokyo known as the Opposito Soldiers and ordered them to alter the past in order to change the future to her liking, with the ultimate goal of attaining the Silver Crystal. Apsu and her followers succeed in changing the fates of the defeated villains from the first three story arcs, bringing deceased villains back to life and turning reformed and healed individuals back to the darkness.
With the advice of the ghosts of the Four Kings of Heaven, the Soldiers set out to regain the Barazuishou (Rose Crystal), Tuxedo Mask's stone (which replaces the Golden Crystal in the game) in order to change Sailor Moon's destiny back and to save Crystal Tokyo.
The game has two endings. If the player loses to the final boss, Chibiusa and the remaining Soldiers will fight a slightly easier form of it and the player will receive the 'bad' ending.
