Space Ace

graficamente è ben fatto; l'ho giocato tanto anni fa in sala giochi perchè lo adoravo. Qui ha il problema della sincronia dei movimenti fatti col joypad, la mossa che dai non viene accettata sempre al momento giusto e spesso bisogna darla in ritardo; lo stesso problema c'è anche giocandola sui cellulari (samsung e iphone). Con questo problema di sincronia tra gioco e comandi mi passa la voglia di giocarci (sul iphone mi sembra un pelino meglio sincronizzato)

Same as Dragon's Lair, the port is not the best :/

For what this game is, and as someone who had never experienced it in its heyday, this was pretty neat. I enjoyed it more as a novelty than anything else. It's a cool idea and it's a shame more didn't come of it but it felt like good value for money. I dont know if it's something I did wrong, however, but in spite of beating it on Ace mode, most of the achievements never popped for me. It's not a big deal but a bit of an oddity for such an old game to have broken achievements.

This game ate so many arcade quarters, yes it kinda loses something not being in an arcade cabinet, it is sort of the original fmv dvd game, but it is such beautiful Disney style classic animation. If you can, buying a table top style arcade contoller definitely helps versus using a modern controller or keyboard.

Game should be embarrassed that it runs like garbage on many low to mid range systems when it's JUST SHOWING A FREAKING VIDEO AND WAITING FOR QUICK TIME EVENT INPUTS. Game itself was a spectacle back in the arcade but really, it's just a QTE-heavy video so nothing much to see here. Watching a playthrough is about the same experience. If you do have this, look up how to get the old version of the game and play it instead because it will run on basically any system. I know, what a concept. Oh, and if you do have a system capable of playing this: the moves are horribly off and glitchy and do not work half the time. What a mess. GET THE ORIGINAL, PLAY IT WITH DAPHNE.

When anyone under the age of 30 waxes* romantically about games of yore being free of greed and microtransactions reminds them that games like Space Ace exist. This game stresses the line between childhood nostalgia and the dawning realization that it was a greedy follow-up to the successful Dragon's Lair. I only played this a handful of times back in the day and never got far; it was too hard for most kids and too expensive (twice the price of most arcade cabinets at the time at a whopping 50 cents iirc). Playing it now this modern port really shows how the original devs of Space Ace really twisted the screws to squeeze out as many quarters as possible. Compared to 'Dragon's Lair' this game's scenes are extremely short and the margin of error is nigh-nonexistent. You can't even enjoy the animation because your eyeballs are frantically looking for the brief cue needed to pass to the next scene. This is a decent enough modern port, it does the job, the video quality feels authentic to the original laserdisc animation, and comes with some minor extras. It's missing a volume slider so you'll need to adjust the game's volume in your windows mixer, a minor annoyance but hardly a deal-breaker. I received this (along with the other two games) as a gift some years back but personally I wouldn't pay full price for it unless you absolutely need the nostalgia fix. Pick it up along with its sister titles on sale for the best value.
