Scrap Heap Scramble - SDF Macross JAMMA

 SOLD
Working SDF Macross JAMMA.

Our original quick 'n durty description for this game from 1998:
Vertical shooter based on the popular Macross brand. Game begins with a number of animation stills and a demo begins with the valkries blasting away with heavy artillery. Minmei sings a song amidst a light show is one of the attract animations as well as an animation with "Max Sterling" piloting one of the mechs and giving the player a thumbs up. Gameplay is fun. The first level begins with picture of Minmei carrying a plate that holds a large fish-head; which was a theme in episode #4. Shooter action is of the standard sort with animations that begin each level to tell a running story. There is no choice of player or fighter craft at the beginning of the game. Your fighter fires a standard tri-shot that covers a 30 degree arc in front of you. Power ups may be picked up which convert your mech into gerwalk, battroid or back to standard jetfighter. Power-up canisters consist of little circular globes that will yield extra bombs, weapon power-ups and the like when picked up. The Gerwalk mode is one level in firepower higher than the jetfighter. In addition to the standard guns, the gerwalk comes with a laser that fires off from the middle of the mech. The battroid is the ultimate fighter with billowing missles that fire off and cover a 180 degree arc when powered up 4 levels. These are guided projectiles that will track down enemies on screen. The first end level boss is a green airship that comes with a spinning top portion that fires off scatter shot. This boss is a patsy and not much of a challenge as his shots are easily avoided and his mobility is limited. Some cool effects in the first level: Enemy mecha that fall from the sky, land and then start firing at you. Some other mecha that fall and you destroy will show their pilots leaving the crushed mech and running off to safety. Bottom line: Fun shooter with the Macross theme in tow. Animations add to the license draw of this game and the shooter action is of good quality.

US$55 + shipping.
