I assume you've never played Space Ace (or any game like it) before?  These
kind of games are like those choose-your-own-adventure type books.  You have
to make the right decision to get further into the story.  Timing in making
your moves is critical.  For instance, on the first screen Kimmy says "There's
Borf's ship." and then she falls and disappears.  Next Borf comes flying
out with a laser pistol aimed at you.  You need to jump out of the way (
in this case jump left ie. push the joystick left.)  Dexter jumps out of
the way of the laser fire, but is now out in plain view and makes an
easy target.  So you need to jump right to get out of the way.  Now pull
down to duck more laser fire and that should put you to the next screen.

If a move didn't work the first time, you might have been right, but your
timing may have been off.

By the way, anybody know if they plan on making any data disks with the
rest of the game on it???  They left out so much of this game and hacked
pieces of it together so it really doesn't resemble the original much at all.
Only us die hard Space Ace fans know how the real game should look :-)

Hear, hear.

I am extremely disappointed at what they did to a great storyline.  I was
also hoping they would have some kind of intro sequence, like a *real* game
would, but no.  The continuity at some points is horrendous.  At one screen,
you're Dexter, and the next one, you're Ace.  Didn't the original game have
some kind of object that appeared here and there that enabled you to become
Ace for a limited time or until shot by Borg again?

I want the *real* game.
