Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie

Now is the time to scramble Valkyrie again.

When starting a game or continuing the player picks from either Hikaru, Max, or Millia.

Each flies a custom Valkyrie with its own set weapon load-out.

A Valkyrie changes its weapon and movement speed by switching between its three forms: Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid.

Typically the Valkyrie weapon shoots straight and quickly, the Gerwalk weapon shoots around or through obstacles, and the Battroid weapon does higher damage in exchange for reduced firing rate.

Each weapon can be upgraded up to twice by picking up power up items dropped by special enemy ships, but one level of power up will be lost any time the Valkyrie is shot.

If a Valkyrie's entire life bar is depleted then the full stage must be repeated, provided the player still has enough continues.

In a nod to Galaga the player is able to capture some enemy craft to increase their firepower.

If the player does not shoot any weapons for a few seconds a field of electricity will cover the Valkyrie.

Touching some enemy ships will then cause their targeting to be shorted out and make them friendly to the player, following along and shooting or ramming onscreen enemies.

Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, loose is €218.37 and CIB is €212.83 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
