BTW, the BGM playing in the background of the game is this song, Shao Pai Long:
Enjoy!
The theme song for the movie that bought peace between humans and Zentraedi.
How?
In the movie, the main character Shao Pai Long defeats a giant with a single attack.
When the Zentraedi (real giants) intercepted those images, they couldn't believe the micrones were so strong, if it was like this, they clearly would lose, so they offered peace.
When once of theirs was micronized and invited into the Macross for peace talks, he requested that the champion Shao Pai Long was present, leaving everyone confused, when explained about what they found about Shao Pai Long, so the Macross' Captain, Mr Global, explains with a hesitant voice that it was just a fictional character in a movie, it didn't exist and everything there was made up, and so the emissary found out they "lost" because they thought it was real, but everyone was already friendly now, so it was ok.
One of the most memorable scenes from Macross.
----
but yeah, played the game because I got it from my mom randomly, always the same stages just harder, but I liked to be able to transform, It would take a decade for me to watch Macross and hear the nostalgic song of the game being played.
