This is a list of Macross video games. Even though some of these games have only been released in the Japanese domestic market rather than abroad (where the Macross franchise has also been licensed by Harmony Gold as Robotech) they extend the franchise with noticeable key elements such as original animation scenes, characters and mecha known as Valkyries.
Due to the vast number of platforms, this list sorts video games by chronological order instead of systems, supports or genres. Official crossover video games are part of the list, yet unofficial hobbyist-made freeware applications and licensed non-game applications are not listed.
The following list is presented as such:

Localization process including English voice acting and the addition of an exclusive mecha had already started when the project was eventually cancelled. The unfinished game was yet released by Tokyo Snack in a limited non-commercial promotion campaign title named Macross VF-X2: Special Version.
The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Another Dimension (Nintendo 64)
Japanese localization of Robotech: Crystal Dreams to be done by video game company Tomy of Japan. Since most of the mecha used in Crystal Dreams came from the original Macross TV series (which provided a third of the animation for the Robotech cartoon series in the U.S.), Tomy saw the opportunity to have the only Macross game released on the Japanese N64. However, producer GameTek never completed the American game and closed down in 1998. In addition, though Tomy was interested in the game and even went as far as to advertise it in Japanese magazines, the company didn't obtain the rights to distribute a Macross game from Bandai.
