The Creator-Driven Successor to Don Bluth's popular Dragon's Lair laserdisc arcade game, Space Ace was similar, but with a totally different genre.Instead of a knight and a princess, the characters were Dexter, a pulp space hero better known as Space Ace, and Kimberly, his buxom, short-skirted, sarcastic girlfriend. Their mission was to locate the evil Commander Borf, a blue behemoth of an alien who had taken it upon himself to create something called the Infanto Ray, that he would use to transform the inhabitants of Earth and any other planet he wished into babies or children.Before the game itself, Ace is zapped with said ray, which transforms him into his previous geeky teenage self. The rub is that, due to some apparent malfunction or his own body chemistry, the effects turned out somewhat wonky, and he switches between his adult, musclebound self and his younger self at the least opportune times. The game itself took care of this by utilizing one button that served as both the weapons button and the "energize button", and when Ace's wrist weapon flashed you had the option of transforming into Ace or simply remaining as Dexter to carry out the mission... and thankfully, Bluth animated two separate scenes for each of these instances seeing as how Ace could dispatch enemies quickly and Dexter had to use his smarts to get past them. (Note that turning into Ace was selecting to play the hard version of the level, which would be longer and more action-packed befitting the seasoned hero version of the character, but which had the reward of receiving more points.)Unlike Dragon's Lair, where Dirk was semi-mute, both Ace and Kimmy spoke throughout the adventure, commenting on the weirdness around them as well as going over the game plan to reach Borf and stop him, which added a little more humor to this game than Dragon's Lair. Though it came second, it carved out its own nice little niche in gaming history.It was originally released on laserdisc on April 15, 1984, and has since been ported to the iPhone, the PSN, and Android. A Saturday morning cartoon based on the game was added to the second season of Saturday Supercade, which was rerun as an insert in the early days of Cartoon Network and their spinoff Boomerang. A comic mini-series based on the game incorporated elements from the original game and its Supercade version (mainly Ace's changes to Dexter and back happening at random as opposed to the use of his wrist device). It was also released on Steam on August 27, 2013. There was even a version released in a trilogy pack along with the two Dragon's Lair games that could be functionally played on a DVD player, with the remote as a controller! | |

Fanfare | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_10e7d43c | comment |
Fanfare: Whenever you take the option to Energize (and transform Dexter into his musclebound adult self), a short transformation sequence leads into the triumphant Space Ace theme song. The theme that plays during that short transformation sequence lets you know that much ass-kicking is about to commence. | |

Damsel in Distress: Kimberly gets captured by Borf at the beginning of the game, and Ace spends much of the game chasing after her. He saves her during the Motorcycle Chase scene, after which she joins him for the rest of the game, though she gets captured a second time during the final battle, during which Borf's minions nearly lower her into a pool of lava. | |

Super Rug-Pull: In the cartoon, in one part of the episode "Wanted Dexter", Dexter is locked in the prison and notices Baby Face Nerks with Kimmy, and tries to get the sheriff's attention with no success. So, Dexter throws the mug at the blaster, causing it to fall to the floor. Then Dexter grabs the rug and says, "Come on, blaster. Come to Dexter." And then he proceeds to pull the rug so hard that it creates a shockwave that sends the sheriff flying and Dexter gets the blaster, and after energizing, escapes the prison. | |

Clark Kenting: In the Supercade segments, only Kimberly and Borf can tell that Ace and Dexter are actually the same person. Taken further in "Calamity Kimmy" to the extent of it being an unwanted case of Clark Kenting, where Borf uses the Infanto Ray on Kimberly, turning her into a child but with a delayed effect, and, despite her repeated insistence of her identity, neither Ace nor Borf recognize her after it finally takes effect... but Dexter does. | |

Platform Hell | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_7d0b5cb5 | comment |
Platform Hell: The SNES port. Check out Frankomatic's playthrough of the game and you'll come out believing it to be one of the hardest games ever made. And to top it off, to view the game's ending, you have to get the highest rating in every single level (kill a requisite amount of enemies and collect enough glowing disc powerups, destroy every single green orb in the Space Maze, and with near perfect accuracy and minimal shots fired to boot). Given the game's wonky controls and absurd difficulty (Dexter dies in one hit to anything, has limited lives, there are no level checkpoints, and the game is loaded with ridiculous memorization, unclear level layouts including leaps of faith you need to make with no indication to do it, and psyche outs), this all adds up to a near impossible task without the use of save states. Hell, even finishing the game at all is insanely difficult. And oddly enough, the port actually does follow the original pretty damn closely. Just don't expect to ever get far enough to notice. | |

Fountain of Youth: The Infanto Ray, which turns people into infants, and which turned Space Ace into a weak teenager. The Infanto Ray also makes a cameo in some of the episodes of the Saturday Supercade cartoon version. It appears they have yet to work all the bugs out, hence it only turning Ace into a scrawny runt, and changing back to his normal self at random. Amazingly, in the show it even works on robots, turning them into...little baby robots. | |

Major Injury Underreaction | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_91cab736 | comment |
Major Injury Underreaction: One death sequence has an enemy shoot Ace with a laser, to which he sarcastically remarks "Oh wow, I've been hit." before transforming back into Dexter. The giant version of Dark Side keeps shooting his own limbs off — and shoots himself in the groin — and even reduced to a giant rolling head, he's still laughing. If Ace fails to save Kimberly from being lowered into the lava pool during the final battle, the two of them will slowly sink into the lava while glaring disapprovingly at the camera. | |

Tickle Torture | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_982037d0 | comment |
Tickle Torture: One of the death scenes involve Ace and Kimberly falling off of a maze and into a pit filled with pink balls called "Tickle Plants." This is reinforced by Ace and Kimberly's hysterical laughing upon falling into the pit. There's an alternate scene that has Dexter instead of Ace. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: One level of the game (which seems to have been cut from a lot of adaptations) features a floating red robot with electrified prongs and a cape as an enemy. The Supercade segments named this robot Le Grin, and made him Borf's main sidekick. | |

Eaten Alive | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_abcb9af1 | comment |
Eaten Alive: Way more common than in Dragon's Lair. After the initial station stages, you get at least one and often multiple things trying to devour you. Including your own Titan-sized dark doppleganger. That includes his disembodied head. | |

The Ace | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: It's in his name. He was less confident and capable as a teenager, however, he manages to outwit and destroy a squadron of enemy spaceship as Dexter (and no, there's no Ace option), and he's fighting Borf to a standstill as Dexter (and can remain Dex for a long long time). | |

Transformation Ray | |
| Space Ace (Video Game) / int_ba56f91c | comment |
Transformation Ray: The Infanto Ray causes anyone who gets hit with it to be turned into a baby. The ray that Ace gets hit with at the beginning of the game turns him into a teenager instead, so it may not have been completed. | |
