So nostalgic! So yeah... I always tought I was doing something wrong because the stage kept repeating itself... But now I know that's just how the game works haha
I bought this game and some bootleg game system in the Philippine's when I was in the Navy in the late 80's, I was so excited to play it, but the plug to the outlet was different, so I had to wait until I got back to the United States to find an adapter when I finally came back and bought an adapter and played the game, it only played in black and white, something to do with the television frequency. Finding a plug adapter in the Philippine's was a nightmare in itself, I went every where, no luck, so I waited a almost a year and black and white, still fun game though.
@@JENDALL714 I'm guessing that it could it have been a PAL vs NTSC issue if you're bootleg system was made in China, 'coz Philippines uses NTSC, just like Japan and US.
i had a cardridge on nes, 260 in 1, and this game was on that cardridge. and that cardridge has also during game selection stage 1 music from adventure island. b-wing was also on it. quarth, and more.
A game that was made famous by being on several unlicensed NES multicarts, and I knew this when I was very little and I was at a friendly neighbour of mine, who had a famiclone and a multicart that had this. The only thing I still knew was the in-game music (only the little chunk of it), the whole theme and how the enemies look (as one of them reminded me of astronauts). I only played the game for only like 1 or 2 days and I forgot about it until last year, when I finally rediscovered it by watching videos of several NES Multicarts, which include this, and I finally found it again. I never even knew this was based on Macross, something I never knew about until now.
And what's really crazy is that I never even knew Namco made this, because in my childhood, I only knew Namco for making games like Klonoa, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Soul Blade etc. But never did I know that Namco made this game, until I rediscovered the game and found out that it was made by the SAME NAMCO that made the aforementioned games. And given that Bandai was also involved in the making of this, it was quite a co-incidence, especially given that both Bandai and Namco would eventually merge together in the mid-2000s to become what is today Bandai Namco Games International.
And I also remember quite fondly that the famiclone that my neighbour had, and that I played with, looked exactly like a european SNES or the Super Famicom with the color buttons, the simple grey color scheme, and the simple console design. Except that instead of playing EU SNES or Super Famicom cartridges it played the original JP Famicom cartridges and even those multicarts and pirate cartridges which took the shape of those JP Famicom games. And I do remember that on that multicart there was an Image with these astronaut-looking enemies from the game that was on the label of the cart. I'm still trying to find out which multicart with that Image on the Label was, because I also remember the game selection menu screen where it was all black and had only text on it, where you select the games. I also recall that there were other games I still knew somehow about, like Duck Hunt and F-1 Race, with Duck Hunt of course remembering very well that the famiclone in-question also came packed with a lightgun which (I believe) is shaped after the NES Zapper, but of course possessing the same grey color scheme to match the famiclone in question.
I also remember that from when I was playing it way back in 1995, the Music and game speed was a lot slower. That was obviously because for the fact that I lived in Europe and we had 50hz as everyone knows it, and that the game was of course originally a 60hz game.
I remember playing this on a multicart back when I only knew Robotech. Later when I played it in an emulator, having specifically looked for it, now knowing about the original show and having the song collection, I started it up and realized I knew the song and started singing along to the chorus :D I love how true it is to the source material! Sure, just a tiny fraction of it but there's nothing truly weird that doesn't belong like with many, many movie licenses for example, especially back then
@KnightCole I bought it on an official shop in Spain (Europe) in 1992 (well, my father bought it, I had 4 years old), to use in a pal console. I don't understand how could it be japan only...
This one is my favorite NES game When I was just a little kid, I thought the Chinese-ish soundtrack was cool and fitting. But when I started watching the anime, "Xiao Pai Long" (the game soundtrack) was used for an insert song for a serie-within-a-serie in the anime, and I think "Do You Remember Love" should've been used for this one lol. Btw, do you guys know what's the use of changing mode between Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid other than... giving yourself a bigger hitbox for enemies to target?
As someone who played this game during childhood, and then watch the anime 20 years later, I get surprised that the game BGM is adapted from the song in anime.
You mean to tell me when that countdown timer reaches zero, NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS?! I always thought I’d die if it ran out!! I lost so many lives trying to brute-force my way through the boss because I was afraid of running out of time and dying!
Me too. Its my first time playing this game that i borrowed from my friend. He said the game is about a robot spaceship shooting stuff out of space and its super fun. So i borrowed it. When i first saw that girl and the way she moved, i freaked out!
i never knew going into batroid drains your energy meter. And that nothing rly changes if you let the timer reach zero, lol But man... gliding through the space shooting aliens with the romantic music in the background.. what could be better
I don't know if the uploader knows of this or not but if you shoot at and actually blow up those Red Pickup Orbs that it'll give your Valkyrie invincibility, as in your Health bar wouldn't go down if you get hit.
plz post that 4 in 1 game list name...in which attacted karnov and cuba and plz other two name. I want to know that game (3protagonist= 2 man and 1 lady...that lady has knife or sword) plz plz and plz..
A shame they were lazy to make a full game it looks amazing but just keeping a constant loop of only about a minute of gameplay is just lazy , looks like a demo of a great early famicom game
They weren't "lazy to make a full game." Most games at the time were like this: arcade-style games that loop every few levels and do not end, getting progressively harder each round. The objective is to get a high score. You cannot say that this is "lazy" just because you are unable to explain it properly. That is called the argument from ignorance fallacy.
Macross and Robotech are technically the same series, Macross being the original Japanese source material while Robotech is an American version. At least as far as I know.
@@Helldragon64 Robotech being the censored American version for the kiddies and Macross being the raunchy uncensored Japanese version for the adults with all the nudity and blood and guts!! 😄😄
The game pretty much loops on and on and on, ad infinitum. No point of showing further gameplay as the stages are recycled. Another NES game that also loops over is "Gotcha!".
This is what most games at the time were like. Actually, Macross took things a bit further by letting the ship turn into a robot that can shoot from both sides. If this is "a cheap letdown," you're setting your standards unreasonably high. Players who were fans of the anime would've probably understood and accepted that this was what was to be expected.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 Interesting comment! Compare this to Gradius, also released in 1985. Wouldn't you agree that there is an important difference in the depths of both titles?

Hey that's super interesting! Which music/intro was the game inspired from? I'd love to hear it too
@@jonnyblankaShao Pai Long / Little White Dragon, the theme song for the movie Minmay stars in in the original Macross series :)
It's pretty amazing that they captured the entire essence of Macross into a half-Mbit cartridge.
This music
These shooting noises
This cool ass intro
These unique features
cool game alright

Love this music
yeah the music give so much nostalgia
I remember playing this when I was young on a 110-1 supervision cart!
Nostalgia no seu estado mais puro!
The song is called Shao Pai Long(Little White Dragon)
nicely done man. I could never last that long!
with some pratice you can last longer
Hearing this is so nostalgic. The music 😍
I discovered this game by accident inside a famicom cartidge long ago
WHAT! all these years of frustration that I couldn't reach the end and the stage was only one?
you just need to stay in the bottom right corner
0:10 As a child I used to say that that thing was a cookie. It looks like an Oreo (it reminded me of Charada cookie actually).
When I was a kid, I used to think this is a coin but it turned out to be a Japanese gong.
Back then as a kid I already knew it was a gong, but haha yes, it does look like a Charada cookie. 😂🍪

Fighter moves fastest, battaliod most agile and could fire backwards. Guardian was a balance

0:10 Hit that gong, mofokuh!
My nephew played this when my sister gave him the Famicom and 42-in-1 cartridge. I remember the music and the countdown timer at the top right.
good stuff. very nostalgic.
Was adapted here in America as the first season of "Robotech".
Also, the VF-1S Super Valkyrie toy would be made into Skyfire for The Transformers.

And I loved it.

Estava procurando esse jogo há anos.
I used to play this as a kid! I didn't know it was from the Macross franchise lmao
thank you so much the nostalgia
Hermoso recuerdo de mi infancia ❤❤❤

MA-KU-ROSS!!!

i ve played this game when i was a kid
then u are old as i am, and none of us is a a leader or president to our own country.
i was watching an anime podcast and saw macross and thought to myself i know it from somewhere, now i know where from...
The only game where the select button is actually useful.
It blew my mind when I realized you could transform
Judging by the comments, a lot of other people played this game on an unlicensed multi-cart as well :D
Will never forget the Shao Pai Ron...
goodbye deadline and hello online
Love the music💯!!🤟🏼😛
Akhirnya nemu juga judul game nya.. ini juga pernah tayang anime nya di tv

But man... gliding through the space shooting aliens with the romantic music in the background.. what could be better
I always wonder about the story of development behind this game. Why only 1 stage?
Shao Pai Long over and over and over and over
I've never passed the green stage/ship :'(
I did completed though but it was repeating over and over again
remember this, failed to beat this game
usually never made it past the first stage 'cause I have no idea what I'm doing

Oh I played a plug and play port version of that .
Lol, it's just a Japanese guy floating around in space shooting at unknown spaceships. Please don't shoot at the Starship _Enterprise._ :p

Who is he? Ok, he's not Japanese; he is Asian. Better?
