Macross VF-X2 is a sequel to the game Macross Digital Mission VF-X for Sony PlayStation. It is a 3-D shooting single-player game. The player plays Aegis Focker along side the VF-X Ravens. Although planned, the game was never released in the North American Sony PlayStation market (under the same name). In the North American version, the VF-1X was replaced with the VF-5000B. A Special Edition, released in Japan in February 2000 via mail-in campaign, allowed the player to play VF-5000B only.
