MACROSS 2036

Another GotM and another shooter! Been wanting to play this again. It's one of those shooters I come back to and play. Kept hearing about how this was already in the works be coming stateside when reading EGM. Was so excited, then nothing. Good thing I imported a lot of games back in the day. Lol! I love Masaya and Macross so I was glad I picked it up. Game has fantastic music and cut scenes. You have a primary and a secondary weapon system but there's not much variety in the weapons you can use compared to other shooters. Still it's a decent game and worthy of a play through. Hope you all enjoy!

Nice for another GotM. Only eleven years left! I welcome the Gerwalk future.

I was occupying my time with Power Golf 2 and Dracula in the delayed monthly announcement Time to start Zentradi hunting.

This was an early pickup for me bitd. I've always seen similarities between this game and Area 88 with how the main weapon looks and fires plus the hidden powerups that will appear when fired upon. Isn't this the dual CD/Super CD game? I've always wondered what if any differences there were between the two if any? It may have just been a failed marketing buzz phrase.

Mmm, noice.  Too bad I didn't pick this up back in the day, but a CDR will get the job done.

 I made a post about this one a little while back:

Solid game with some cool special weapons. I love the explosion and sound effects!
