Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie
Super Nintendo (SNES)Shoot 'em up
Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie is a 1993 side-scrolling shoot 'em up developed by Winkysoft and published by Bandai for the Super Famicom. It adapts the original Macross setting into a mission-based action game, placing the player in control of a transforming Valkyrie during battles against enemy forces. The game combines fast horizontal shooting with selectable pilots, different attack characteristics, and limited transformation-based tactics. Its use of recognizable anime characters, music-inspired presentation, and multiple playable pilots made it a notable Macross game for the period. Outside Japan it remained obscure because it was not officially released for the SNES in most regions, but it is regarded by fans as one of the stronger 16-bit Macross adaptations.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
