Macross Plus (マクロスプラス Makurosu Purasu ) is an arcade game developed by NMK and published by Banpresto in 1996.
Gameplay
The game is based on the Macross Plus OVA and Macross Plus Movie Edition, with the basic premise being to prevent Sharon Apple's uprising in Eden.
Macross Plus is set on a vertical style akin to Super Spacefortress Macross. In fact, the basic game system and control scheme between the two games are completely similar save for a special micro-missile attack that can be executed by holding the fire button for a set amount of time. The longer the button is held, the more missiles will be fired upon release.
Another factor is the difficulty: Super Spacefortress Macross was made accommodating for beginners, but Macross Plus is geared more for shooting game experts.
Player characters are no longer locked per side and there are three to choose from: Isamu Alva Dyson, Guld Goa Bowman and an unnamed female character.
An ending will be shown upon completion of the first run, varying between characters. Beating the game a second time will show an alternate ending for Isamu and Guld, but the one for the female character will not change.
