The new game does not have the weakness of the Game Boy Advance to abuse.Ĭoming from mobile game developer Galaxy Pest Control Games, with original developers Lucky Chicken being credited as well, this game feels like a re-imagining of the game rather than an upscaling of the original GBA game. At times, abusing the sprite limit and slowdown of the game was integral to survival. The original game was a fairly brutal bullet hell shooter that demanded the most of the player with little reward. Robotech: The Macross Saga HD Edition is a remaster of the 2002 Robotech: The Macross Saga side-scrolling shooter for the Game Boy Advance. Here is where the game we’re looking at comes from. DVD releases, “remastered” releases, comic books, republishing the novels from the 1980s, and even video games using “untold” stories of the franchise. When importing anime finally became popular at the turn of the century, license holder Harmony Gold would begin pushing Robotech as much as humanly possible. But the merits of the “localization” that was performed on those shows (and the patent trolling from their licensing company) are for another day, and another article. God forbid you were lucky enough to see the aborted disaster that was The Untold Story in a limited Texas theatrical release before being tossed into limbo. Once the series passed into The Robotech Masters or The New Generation, the series really got out of control with more than just the name changes. There was some wonky application of the phrase “Robotechnology” being a solve-all hand-waive as to why the main characters’ robots were so weirdly powerful or why their culture was so different. Taken from the anime Superdimensional Fortress Macross, the translation was fairly accurate overall. The characters in the top row are Max, Lynn-Kyle, Minmei, and Claudia, while the bottom row is Miriya, Lisa, Roy, and Rick.The most well-remembered iteration of Robotech was The Macross Saga, the first 36 episodes of the series. These were stitched onto 14-count perforated plastic canvas, though some of them ended up on white while others ended up on clear, and I used tons of different floss types. Rick, who's sitting in the bottom right corner, has been posted here before, but the other seven of them are all new to my gallery! I think that the one of Lisa, second from the left on the bottom row, ended up looking the best, but I think that's just because I'm unreasonably proud of myself for figuring out how to make her hair. These are probably all going to be cut into standees later tonight, but for this image, I just shoved them all into my scanner and hit buttons until they popped up on screen. Because of that, I took this as an opportunity to finish stitching my tiny sprite patterns (all edited from the sprites in Phantasy Star II) of characters from the first chunk of Robotech. Hello! Recently, I've been working a little bit each day on a big and fancy cross stitch that I think will turn out quite nicely, among some other nifty things, but for the past couple of days, I haven't been feeling my best, so I don't really want to risk working on anything that involves any amount of detail.
