    The game itself is based on the Macross saga. The uploaded cover is from the movie: 'Ai wo oboete imasu ka', (Do you remember love?).

    The transformation sequences are very beautifully done in this game but unfortunately the game doesn't capture the anime's spirit.

    Yes it does, when you are in Gerwalk or Fighter mode the levels are much shorter then when you are in robot mode.

    Graphically game is above average, as robots are multicoloured. Title theme is very good, I really like it!! (especially on my other spectravideo 728!) But ingame "music" is irritating, made of few notes. Sounds are very simple too. After a while game starts to get boring as robots are same from the beginning, it´s a shame that robots don´t fire back on first level, later levels they start to defend themselves and game gets more interesting. I guess difficulty level of this game is better suited for children. Neat thing is that you can change your droid, there´s three different types, everyone have different weapons and speed.
    One droid always aims directly to the targets, that looks and feels great!!! You just need to hold fire button. 5;o)

    Do anyone know if robot´s speed really affects how long a level lasts?
