An Exciting Retro Adventure Reimagined
Space Ace HD revitalizes the classic arcade experience with stunning high-definition graphics and engaging gameplay, appealing to both nostalgic players and new audiences alike.
Space Ace, the classic arcade game created by Don Bluth, is now available in stunning HD. In the game, you take on the role of Ace, a heroic character determined to thwart the evil plans of Commander Borf, who is intent on dominating Earth by turning all of humanity into infants. Joined by the brave Kimberly, Ace faces the challenge of saving Earth from Borf's diabolical schemes. However, their mission takes a dramatic turn when Ace is struck by the Infanto Ray, transforming him into a child and leading to Kimberly's abduction by Borf. Equipped with only a laser gun, Ace must locate and destroy the Infanto Ray, rescue Kimberly, and ultimately save the planet.
This version of Don Bluth's iconic animated arcade game offers visuals transferred directly from the high-definition film master, resulting in the clearest images and most vibrant colors yet seen — an improvement over the original laserdisc release.
In Space Ace HD, players can guide Ace using the direction pad and utilize the laser gun to eliminate alien threats. Don Bluth and his talented production teams are renowned for creating timeless classics like The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, and Anastasia.
