Space Ace 2: Borf's Revenge

Space Ace 2: Borf’s Revenge (1991, DOS) doubles down on everything that made the first one iconic — and maddening. Borf is back, still blue, still obnoxious, and once again causing cosmic chaos. This sequel trades the laserdisc animation for digitized video sequences, which means slightly clunkier visuals but faster action. The gameplay remains pure trial and error: push the wrong key, and Ace gets zapped into oblivion. But the humor’s still there, the charm intact, and the tone perfectly campy. It’s like playing through a Saturday morning cartoon that refuses to let you blink.
