****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I used to be a big fan of the Dragon's Lair type of 
games.  I even remember playing Space Ace in the arcades, as well.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: Space Ace is a animated Dragon's Lair type of game.  
You must pick the right direction or action to continue on your animated 
movie.  That's basically what these games are, animated movies.  If you pick
the wrong action, you die and have to start over.  This version is an 
excellent port of the arcade game.  This version even has a cool feature that
I didn't know existed on any of these games other than Brain Dead 13, which
is that when you enter a command, you will hear a sound, you will either hear
the right sound or the wrong sound. 
Liked: Just like the arcade.
Hated: There's just not enough reaction time in any of these games.
 
****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Space Ace is a beautiful game.  This version features
full-screen animation with little to no pixellation.  There also aren't any
loading times.
Liked: Beautiful animation.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Space Ace sounds great.  The voice acting is top 
notch.  The sound quality is great, as well. 
Liked: Excellent voice acting.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Space Ace just doesn't control well enough to 
satisfy me.  There just isn't enough time to react most of the time.   
Liked: Nothing
Hated: Short reaction times.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Give us more time to react.

RIYL: Dragon's Lair, Brain Dead 13.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Space Ace is an excellent version of an excellent game.  Just
be warned that this game will annoy you.  You will get frustrated having to
play the same scene over and over and over...
