Download Space Ace - DOS game

From the creators of Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace (1989, DOS) is a gloriously over-the-top animated adventure where timing is everything — literally. You play Ace, a muscle-bound hero trying to rescue Kimberly from the evil Borf, but only if you can survive a series of laserdisc-style quicktime sequences. It’s gorgeous, loud, and completely unforgiving. Miss a move? Enjoy watching Ace disintegrate in technicolor. The humor is pure Saturday morning cartoon, the animation is Don Bluth brilliance, and the difficulty… well, let’s say it’s an exercise in patience. It’s less a game, more a test of reflexes and nostalgia tolerance.

Space Ace review

Zero Magazine issue 4 (1990) - "Basically my advice would go like this. If you're totally loaded, and I mean absolutely rolling in cash, then it's worth buying so you can learn a few levels and show people just what a home computer is capable of graphically. You might even get to like the game itself. However, if you're an extremely skint sort of person, then don't expect to get good value in the lastability stakes. This game is brilliant, but it's also a little bit crap."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

As with Dragon's Lair, a comic book miniseries incorporating elements from both the game and its Saturday Supercade version (such as Ace randomly changing into Dexter and back, instead of "energizing" back into Ace) was released in 2003 by Crossgen Publishing.

The Dragon's Lair Deluxe Pack released by Digital Leisure in 1997 featured Space Ace along with both arcade Dragon's Lair games. They also released a version of Space Ace on DVD that could be played on most DVD players, although it lacked the skill level select of the arcade version, and also played somewhat differently (if the player made a mistake on the arcade version they simply picked up again roughly where they left off, whereas the DVD version made the player replay the entire scene from the beginning).
