## Description
Borf has kidnapped Dexter’s girlfriend Kimberly and is threatening to turn
earth’s population into babies using his “Infanto Ray”. Naturally, Dexter
cannot let this happen and sets out to stop Borf and rescue Kimberly.
While following the same story as the Laserdisc conversions, the SNES version
of Space Ace obviously lacks the long video sequences of the original, and
also features different gameplay.
Instead of only pushing the right button at the right moment, the player has
complete control over Dexter. Most of the time, he will be busy jumping over
chasms and dodging alien attacks, but occasionally, an ‘energize’-symbol will
appear which, by pressing the correct button in time, will temporarily
transform Dexter into his stronger alter ego and enable him to shoot at his
enemies.
Once he boards his space ship, Dexter has to find his way out of a
labyrinthine seen from a top-down perspective, destroying obstacles with the
ship’s laser and avoiding collisions.
In order to retain the atmosphere of the original, the SNES version features a
large number of (short) death animations and the platformer levels always
follow the exact same sequence, which results in a trial&error-style gameplay
somewhat similar to the original.
