R:CD is an incomplete game for Nintendo’s N64 game system, based on the popular Robotech cartoon series.

Robotech got its start in the early eighties as three seperate Japanese cartoon series: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, Super Dimensional Calvary Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada.
