There's a fire button for Dexter's laser pistol, but at times, this button doubles as "Energize." There are moments during the adventure where Dexter can tap a watch on his wrist and temporarily revert to Ace, his groovy grown-up self. Gameplay Space Ace is an interactive movie, so you are relegated to just pressing the joystick in certain directions to keep the action going. But it was the kind of weird that worked in this bridge era of sci-fi between "Star Wars" and Harlan Ellison. Eventually, the giant Dexter is reduced to only a head, which rolls after Dexter. While little Dexter climbs around the giant trying to escape, the evil Dexter becomes so possessed with killing his quarry that he starts shooting his own fingers off. The adventure unfolds across space stations and alien worlds, some quite conventional for Reagan Era sci-fi while others that are a little more 'Through the Looking Glass,' such as a showdown with an evil giant Dexter. Dexter must chase Borf across space, both on foot and in his ship, the Star Pac. Borf hits Ace, turning him into the teenager Dexter, and absconds with Kimberly. His weapon of choice is the Infanto Ray, a laser cannon that reduces its targets to children. Like any sci-fi villain worth his salt, Borf is intent on enslaving humankind. At the start of the game, Ace and his girlfriend Kimberly, are attacked by the evil Commander Borf. What It Was All About The titular Space Ace is Dexter and, according to the game's attract mode, he is the "defender of justice, truth, and planet Earth." Dexter is suave and possessed of the kind of ego we seem to like in rock stars, but not necessarily in our friends.
