Space Ace, another iconic arcade game from Don Bluth Studios and Cinematronics, puts players in control of the daring hero Ace as he battles the evil Commander Borf in a futuristic, animated adventure. With a mix of humour, sci-fi action, and thrilling gameplay, Space Ace provides a unique journey through outer space.
In Space Ace, players guide Ace as he attempts to thwart Commander Borf’s sinister plans and rescue his love interest, Kimberly. Borf has invented an "Infanto Ray" that turns Ace into a younger version of himself, known as "Dexter." Throughout the adventure, players can choose to continue as Dexter or transform back into Ace by grabbing energy orbs, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
As in Dragon's Lair, Space Ace requires players to react swiftly to on-screen prompts, including directional inputs, button presses, or specific combinations to navigate through various challenges.
Each scene presents new obstacles, such as battling robots, evading traps, or flying through space, with the player's choices determining whether Ace remains in his heroic form or as Dexter. Failure to act correctly results in Ace or Dexter meeting an unfortunate fate, often accompanied by a humorous or dramatic animated sequence.
The game’s success depends on the player’s ability to pay attention to cues, respond accurately, and master the rhythm of each challenge, ultimately leading to a showdown with Borf and the rescue of Kimberly.
