Maybe when viewed from an angle there's a notch in the wall. You know, like it was knocked down and isn't even across the top.

Speak for yourself. I'm calling it the "really big missile rack".

A pile of downloadable files. You need a CUE sheet, and depending on the distribution, either the disk image or the rips of the data track and assload of redbook tracks(likely distributed as moderate-to-low-quality MP3s). the cue is absolutely vital due to the non-standard format of PCE CDs. Track 1 is redbook, track TWO is data, and then everything else is redbook. Some burners actually can't burn them.

No. Mac+ and Mac2 were released without HG. According to HG, they weren't even aware of the release untill recently(recently being "when we started claiming exclusive rights to all things Macross"). BTW, Mac2 was originally released by a diffrent company. It only became a Manga release when Manga bought them out. Wow!!! How did this slip past HG's seemingly-smelling-anything Macross-related noses?! They didn't care, because Macross wasn't huge at the time. They missed DYRL too. Which was during the original airing of Robotech, if I recall.

Yes it does. I've played through 2036 using Magic Engine and Daemon Tools.

*cough* SMALLER? It's a CD game. It should be MUCH larger than a .pce file. ... It also shouldn't be anything that can be called a ROM, no matter how you abuse the term. Mine came with a metric buttload of MP3s, for what it's worth.

What are you talking about, she was always crazy, that's part of her charm. Remember the whole baby tossing thing? To be fair, Max was too. "You tried to stab me to death! I MUST HAVE YOU!"

... But I LIKED the ridiculously over-done Macross intro.

Yes, but it made Exedol/Exedore's version seem not quite so bad.

I would be VERY suprised if Tatsunoko had ANY ground to chanllenge Big West at this point. Ignoring abuse of your rights typically results in the loss of said rights. At this point, with tons of sequels made by Big West with no cut given to Tatsunoko, and the US releases of Macross 2 and Plus, ALSO with no involvement of Tatsunoko, I'd think one would be hard-pressed to find a judge willing to uphold any Tatsunoko claims.

Every last piece of music in the show is diffrent.

They DID mention that the YF-19 was at the factory for repairs when Isamu arrived. I was under the impression people kept crashing it.

i'd buy it, but only if i could drive it to work and live out of it at the same time. Na...... you wimps can keep your 1/48 SDF-1. I want my 1/1 scale, its being built in orbit right now. You can all see it on a clear night sky;) NASA didn't tell you? The plans were changed a little. It's called the ISS now.

Just because the YF-19 crippled test pilots or even killed them, doesn't mean it's superior. Look more towards the technical specs. Inferior. No matter how good a plane is on paper, if pilots CAN'T fFLY IT it's worthless. I don't see that. The variable camber wings were a quite awesome cabability. Whether they were greater, equal, or lesser than the forward-swept wings is unknown. That was Isamu, not the plane. If you recall, before Isamu the YF-19 was trailing WAY behind. You know, because the pilots couldn't keep it in the air. Isamu was a tad crazy, and was pushing the plane pretty hard. And that showed in the status screen. The YF-21 was showing pretty balanced stats, but the -19 was all over the place. Some fields it clearly excelled in, others it was lagging somewhat in. Probably lagged in the tests requiring subtlety, like saving the VF-1J from the Nousjadeul-Ger(as I recall, Isamu wasted the VF-1 in his rush to get a shot off before Guld).

Well, I suspect a lot of the survivors never figured out the whole sexual reproduction thing. Also notable is the humans engaged in a massive cloning effort to boost hte population, stopping only when birth defects started rising. I suspect they also encouraged large families with tax credits and such.

Simple Explanation: Max and Millia were in the -22's. They could have gone out in 11's, 17's, or 19's just as easily and come out alive. I still think they liked the Q-rau aspects personally. Max and Milla VF-1s VS the entire Protodevlin army! Final tally: Protodevlin destroyed. VF-1 paint jobs scratched.

Come on!! If the kid was too stupid to figure something like that out.... how the heck was he smart enough to keep up with the story line? It doesn't make an ounce of sense, for a kid to be confused by changing intros but not be confused by plot twists. Specially when you consider the enormous amount of anime magik going on in those days. Plot twists? When I was watching Robotech as a kid my view of it was "Ooooohhhhhh, pretty explosions."

Man, that reminds me of my Voltron toys as a kid. ... Never did get the complete die-cast set.

Yes, but then the japanese tabloids said it was the first step of a merger, and the more gullible news outlets started reporting this as fact.

You can't outrun a missile. Missiles are always faster than fighters of equivalent tech. And forward-swept wings are only an advantage in atmosphere. In space, it's meaningless. Ditto for the YF-21's variable camber wings. My opinion is as follows: The YF-19 killed or crippled several test pilots. The YF-21 didn't. Winner and champion: YF-21. ... Though having a battroid mode that was more than just an origami airplane didn't hurt.

Specs for the VF-0's micro-missles indicate that they are heat seeking (IR), so presumably the VF-1's micro-missile are heat seeking as well. Graham Or maybe they use overtech EM field detection devices. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The VCS/2600 was in production into the early NINTIES. ET was a symptom, not the cause. It's more an example of the mis-management of Atari under TimeWarner, in that they made more ETs then VCSes in use. And it's not the only such game to be buried. That was the Jag's LATER slogan. It initially had no slogan. You know, because Tramiel wasn't gonna spend money marketing it against the SNES, Genesis, and 3D0. The Jag hardware is a mess(or complicated, if we wnat to be polite). It has a 16-bit processor, 2-32-bit processors, and 2 64-bit ones. And it has a quite large # of good games. Worms, Wolfenstien, Doom, updates of Missile Command, Defender, Tempest, and Breakout, the first Alien VS Predator game, Cannon Fodder, Bubsy, Raiden, and Pitfall all stick out. Then there's a pile of mediocre games, and then the few genuinely crappy titles. Why everyone thinks every Jag game is Kasumi Ninja or Fight for Life is beyond me. And this was just ONE of Atari's bankruptcies. Alas, due to violation of the merger agreement, it would also be the last. JTS, who bought it from the Tramiels, who bought it from TimeWarner, who bought it from Nolan Bushnell, immediatly shut down all operations, began liquidating everything, and licensing like tehre was no tomorrow(hence Activision remaking Asteroids and BattleZone), all in violation of the clause in the contract stating that they had to maintain it as a fully-functioning business. When the SEC began investigating them, they quickly unloaded everything on to Hasbro. Hasbro has since sold it to Infogrames, who is in the process of renaming their company to Atari(the US division has already changed names), so there WILL be a company named Atari again. But they'll likely never again make hardware. The Virtual Boy was SO much more than a Game&Watch. For one, it had dot-matrix screens. For 2, it was stereo vision. 3rd, it had power. Lots of power. GBA-level power. The VB also had 16 shades of red, not 2. And as I own a VB, and do NOT find it a severe eyesore, you should amend your post. Again, the 32x had good games. But it WAS just pissing on the fans. The Saturn was already nearing completion. By the time the 32x hit shelves, most developers were already workign on Saturn titles(or PlayStation, but we don't talk about that). It was still-born, and everyone but die-hard Sega fans knew it. ... These were the same people that later didn't buy the Saturn because Sega burned them with the 32x. You forgot Sonic CD, widely regarded as the best of the 2D Sonics. And the Lunar series, whose sales speak for themselves. 99% market penetration. 99% of SegaCD owners owned Lunar: Silver Star. NO non-packin game has ever reached that level, and very few pack-ins(all I can think of is the Vectrex's MineStorm, which had 100% market penetration). Okay, this is a lot harder to love. It's a NeoGeo, only with load time. ... Really. Aside from a bunch of RAM for loading data from the CD, this was the EXACT same hardware used in arcade machines and cartridge NeoGeo systems. I see no redeeming value aside from the one exclusive title, Samurai Shodwn RPG. And that's japanese-only anyways. As far as really really REALLY bad systems... The Microvision. Imagine a Dreamcast VMU. Okay, now make it a lot bigger. And remove connectivity with anything else. This is a standalone system. Ah, no changing the screen! 32*32 in a tiny square. How's THAT strike you?

The one true game system is the Vectrex. That is all
