What is Macross II? Is it a sequel to Robotech?
The Macross II RPG is based on the Japanese OAV (direct to video) series “Macross II”, which was based on the movie “Macross: Do You Remember Love?”, which in turn was based on the Macross TV series, from which Robotech was derived. In other words, the scenarios are not related, though they use similar game mechanics and mecha (being both published by Palladium and written by Siembieda, and some of the designers in Japan were the same for both shows, this is not surprising). There is an English-dubbed version of “Macross: DYRL”, with an American (uncut) release name of “Superdimensional Fortress Macross”. An older, butchered version is also out, called “Clash of the Bionoids”. Strangely enough, the European and Australian release of the uncut dub has the name of the butchered version. Many anime fan-subbing groups have also done the movie.
