    Default This is driving me crazy! What is the arcade game in Ian's cafe on Eastenders?

    Can anyone tell me what that arcade game is, and if there's some sort of home port? It's driving me nuts, they never show the title screen!

    Cheers.

    It's Banpresto's 1992 arcade game Macross Plus.

    The Macross Plus OVA wasn't released until 1994, though. How could the game come out before the anime?

    No, it's unbiased analysis. The only fanboyism is people who claim that Hyperstone Heist and Bloodlines are actually as good as their SNES counterparts.

    Sorry got it wrong slightly; it's not Macross Plus, it's the original Macross which was released in '92.

    I'd found the one from 96, which looks the same, but then you only ever see it out of focus from a distance over someone's shoulder when they're whinging on about who's baby it is, or who killed Archie etc etc...

    Checked out the 92 Macross too, looks good. Maybe if I write to Eastenders they'd donate the machine to me? If I asked really nicely they just might. And if I had to ask a time lord, I'd have asked Tom Baker. He didn't wear Chucks, but he did give people Jelly Babies.

    Thanks for all the help folks.
