You can revisit the intro again from the main menu if you like, as well as a (very pixilated) demo reel of Dragon’s Lair and a blurb about Braindead 13, another FMV-title that was apparently planned for a Sega CD release but never came out on the Genesis add-on (it did see release for PC, Sega Saturn and Sony PSX, however). Battling not only with evil forces, but with the drawbacks of a teenage body as well, Dexter/Ace now does not only have to stop Borf’s evil plans, but also needs to rescue Kimberly, the girls of his dreams, who got captured by the invader. Unfortunately, when the evil villain Borf (voiced by an electronically altered Don Bluth himself) attacks, he gets hit by his nefarious secret weapon, The Infanto Ray, which turns Ace into a gangly, geeky kid named Dexter. He’s everything you imagine about your typical pulp-space tough guy to be: he’s muscular, strong, wise-cracking, armed with a blaster and an overall tough guy, always with a good one-liner on his lips. Before starting the game you are treated to a short intro, which tells our hero’s story. The eponymous Space Ace is, character-wise, more than just Dirk the Daring’s dashing cousin. The Result: Space Ace” a space hero epic – with a twist.
After their successful laser disc game Dragon’s Lair, they decided to follow up with a sci-fi adventure in a similar vein. Sounds like something every teenage boy dreams of, doesn’t it? Well, back in the ’80s, animator/director Don Bluth and his crew thought likewise. Saving the galaxy as a dashing, muscular hero, fighting back alien invaders, blasting away evil robots, shooting down space fighters and rescuing the girl of your dreams.
